Plnnr Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

A simple question, really.

What’s your favorite candy?

Give me a Peppermint Patty and I’m a happy guy.

Plnnr - who just got back from lunch and ate two Peppermint Patties (the big kind - not the little .15 cent ones) in the elevator between floors 1 and 17.

Mars bars! Mars bars! My kingdom for a Mars bar!

Back when I could eat candy, I loved Jelly Belly jellybeans.

Watermelon. Juicy pear. Buttered popcorn. Dr. Pepper. And many others. Anything but licorice.

Singly, to savor one taste at a time.
Or in a comba, like they print on the cards (Black Forest Cake - Chocolate plus Cherry = YUM!!

Or a kamikaze: pop in a handfull at once and get an explosive sugary smorgasbord of flavors. Woooo!!

Darn you, plnnr for tormenting me with memories!!! Darn darn darn.

(Ever had a frozen Peppermint Patty? Sheer delight, though not as good as Jelly Bellies.)

Mmmmm…Zero bar…Mmmm.

Almond Joy.

No wait…Cadbury Flake…

No…Dark chocolate with raspberry filling…

Only one to choose? Oh Cruel World!

OK, Almond Joy it is.

Frozen Milky Way bars are the best.

Peanut M&M’s, but they aren’t as good as they use to be, the peanuts are too dinky.

Payday. Yum. I like to unwrap it partway, eat all of the peanuts off of the bar unit and then eat the bar part. Unwrap farther and repeat.

Anything from Willy Wonka: Nerds, Gobstoppers, Runts, Sprees, etc.

Chocolate oranges.

Toblerone.

Second choice is Cadbury Dairy Milk.

First place: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

Second place: Toblerone.

Third place: Heath.

Chocolate, fruit, or any combo thereof.

Recently, orange- and pineapple-flavored Kit-Kat bars have been on sale here. Wonderful!

Mmmmm, Zero bars. Mmmmm.
And Zagnuts.
The “Z” candybars.
Damn, they’re good.

But a plain ol’ Snickers is good, too.

I go through phases but most common favorites are

Peanut MM’s
Picnic Bar
Cherry Ripe Bar
Marshmallows - preferably toasted if not in an open fire then with a candle.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups or Hershey’s Dark Chocolate.

I like Nerds by Willy Wonka. It is overkill, but I don’t care. :slight_smile:

Blue raspberry Blow Pops are my favorite, and Snickers candy bars are a very close second.

Candle-roasted marshmallows? What a brilliant idea! (No sarcasm. I want to run out and get a bag of marshmallows right now.) Thanks!

My favorite is Dark Chocolate Milky Way. Frozen, then thawed to just the right temperature. Mmmm.

Also like Junior Mints and Rolos. (Best when smuggled into a movie theater.)

Ferraro Rocher. Mmm. Just got hooked on these. They’re little chocolates with nuts in them and they’re literally like having sex. Literally. Okay not reallky, but they are damned good.
