Twix all the way.
Does anyone else remember Peanut Butter Twix and Cookies ‘n’ Cream Twix. The latter was my favorite candy growing up

I like the elegant simplicity of milk chocolate M&M’s.
and PayDays…mmmmmmmmmmmm…sweet salty goodness.
As a kid growing up, though, for me, nothing could touch PeterPaul’s Peanut Clusters…thank god (since I’m diabetic) they don’t make **those** things any more.

My favorite sweet stuff changes frequently, but I currently have three favorites:
1. Schwann’s chocolate almond ice cream
2. Hershey’s Treasures with milk chocolate and toffee bits in them
3. Is kind of hard to explain - Grampa picks up these things at Christmas at the local country store that consist of orange or raspberry “gel” (for lack of a better word - like the gel from a box of chocolates) and covered in chocolate. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 😃

I gotta take Skor bars as the best, if we’re talking candy bars. For candy-candy, I’ll take Jelly Belly’s (I work only a few miles from the factory!).
I love Whatchamacallits, but they should have never added the carmel. My friend Karen argues with me and insists that they \*always8 had caramel, but I know better. Can anyone back me up on this?

Milky Way Dark… I’m a sucker for caramel, chocolate, and marshmallow. And with all of the above…
_sigh_

I love toblerone. Mmmmmmm, especially in white chocolate, but the dark and regular are good too.

Pez?
Isn’t that for five year old kids? (I mean, I know I thought you were young, jjjfishe, but really…) 😉
Reese’s peanut butter cups for me.

**Nerds.**
No . . . I mean the candy ones. Really.
God those things can still give me a sugar rush just like when I was a kid. You gotta love the two “flavors” in one pack. Yep the grape and cherry sure do taste a whole hell of a lot different ! Just thinking about them makes me have flashbacks. _BUZZZZZZZZZ_. Better than NoDoz.

Ah, he has good taste in something other than the women with whom he exchanges e-mail!
NothingMan, I like Nerds too. I grew up with that candy. I miss the Cherry/Cola one.

Now I know why JJJfishe is on the top of my "woman I most want to be seen with in public by my ex’s " list.
I have had a Daffy Duck Pez since high school. Pez is great!

Awwww, but don’t you know? Nerd or not, we wuv you anyway!!! 😃
The OP! The OP! Sheesh.
jjjfishe, do you collect PEZ dispensers? Just curious, since the PEZ afficionados I know do.
I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Three Musketeers, Skittles, and Starburst.

All the 30 something Canadian Dopers will probably remember the always wonderful… **Bar 6** …
Like a Kit Kat…but stubbier…(the problem with most Canadian things)
