mmmm…candy. Big sugar freak here. I’d have to go with Pop Rocks as the candy that most makes me happy. They’re just so wierd. I’ll back NothingMan on the Nerds, and I’ll even go a step further and say that anything from Willy Wonka is pure sugar goodness. And Swedish Fish. Mmmmm…who needs fillings? As far as chocolate goes, I’m going with Milka. Either the kind with the chopped up Hazelnuts, or the milk chocolate with some kind of milkier-chocolate filling. I’d stand in the chocolate isle in the grocery store in Germany and my eyes would gloss over. ---

And PEZ, I must say, is probably one of the best candies ever made… it’s simple. Not ooey and gooey… you can set it in the car all day long and it doesn’t melt… it comes in a variety of flavors… it’s little and perfect… and has a handy carrying case… Try that with peanut butter cups. ---

I’ve still got a PEZ dispenser that was given to me in 1972! 1. PayDay 2. Hershey’s white chocolate & oreo cookies. 3. Heath bars ---

Baci - chocolate kisses with chopped hazelnuts inside. I remember Reggie Bars tasted pretty good. ---

I remember Peanut Butter and Cookies n’ Cream Twix. Yum. Do you remember Fudge Twix? that was good. My favorite now is probably Caramelo or Big Kats. ---

I don’t know what they’re called and I can only find them in candy stores in those big bins, but they look like little fruit (lime, apple, cherry and _ **banana** _ are the ones I remember). Very cool! RE: the OP One of the QA guys at our office collects PEZ dispensers. Fortunately, he also buys PEZ and offers you one (or two or three or…) whenever you visit him. I need to meet with QA a LOT. grem ---

No one’s mentioned circus peanuts yet? Not that I’d eat one of them while sober. My new favorite is cinnamon Altoids. Yum! ---

Sorry about that. I like them, too, but they’re nowhere near my **favorite**. I want my favorite candy to be based on more substantive criteria than “you can set it in the car all day and long and it doesn’t melt”. 😛 Hey, they’re fine. Just not my favorite. ---

Watchamacallit All right I know that I spelled that wrong but I really do not know where to spell check it. I love it because I remeber when it first came out and I had one of those comercial moments with my mom. “Mom, may I have a watchamacallit?” “A What?” “A Watchamacallit!” Anyhow, you get the idea. Also it tastes great it’s all chocolity caramelly and crispy. Perfect.🙂 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-think-the-best/28660.md?page=1)
