Kits Kats are clearly NOT the best, because they are wafers, and wafers just take up good chocolate space. Cadbury’s Whole Nut is distinctly superior. ---

Japan truly has elevated the Kit Kat to the next level - the raspberry flavour was my favourite. would much prefer Drift tho - Kit Kat plus caramel 🙂 ---

I don’t like wafers much, so KitKat is not the best in my estimation. I also don’t like nuts, so that eliminates a lot of others from contention. I gravitate towards pure chocolate, which includes Twirls, but I also quite enjoy Mars Bars. I remember adoring Curly-Wurlys as a child, then they went out of production and I really missed them, until about 15 years ago when I immediately devoured them but discovered I had also outgrown them. In conclusion: [K-Bars](https://thetoastieproject.wordpress.com/2011/05/06/k-bars/). ---

I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a dark Twix. So yeah, that might tip them over the top. White chocolate Twix is a (tragically rare) thing here, and they’re freakin’ delicious. That said, if we’re going for commercial candy bars, I can’t help my huge soft spot for Snickers and Mounds. It’s the nuts, really. ---

I like Kit Kat, but I prefer a Baby Ruth. Third choice is Snickers. ---

I am not a huge KitKat fan, but i wish I had explored them when I was in Japan. ---

I don’t know if I have a favorite candy bar, but Kit Kat and Twix would be in the top tier. Dark Chocolate or ice cream Milky Way too. A really good chocolate bar (dark or milk can both be fantastic) would be up there too, but I kinda consider plain chocolate to be a separate thing than a candy bar. ---

I like Hershey chocolate because I like the sour milk taste. European chocolate is a bit bland. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kit-kats-are-the-best-candy-bar/833738.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/kit-kats-are-the-best-candy-bar/833738.md?page=4)
