I like a little chocolate now and then, but generally I find the bitter taste of even milk chocolate so strong that I always pair it with something very sweet. My favorite chocolate candies are Cadbury Creme eggs and Caramilk, to give you an idea. The other day, I was having some chocolate and some dry roasted season peanuts at the same time for a snack, and it occurred to me, “wouldn’t it be nice if I could have all this in one package?” Did a little research online, but quickly got overwhelmed by the choices, so I thought I’d turn to the Dope for some candy guidance. ---

Mars just came out with “MEGA” Peanut M&Ms: big ass P-nuts with about the same amount of choco and candy shell. Much preferred. ---

**Snickers** is usually the go-to for peanuts and chocolate, with some caramel for good measure. Also **Baby Ruth**. If you just want peanut flavor, then **Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups** are the choice. That or **Butterfingers**. ---

Thanks! I’m not sure that a candy shell will be sweet enough for me, but I’ll keep my eyes open for those giant peanut M&Ms, and all the others mentioned! ---

Caramel M&M’s are my new obsession now. They make me weep. ---

[Reese’s NutRageous](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NutRageous). If you don’t want to click on the link, “It consists of Reese’s Peanut Butter topped with roasted peanuts and caramel enrobed in chocolate-flavored coating.” Though “chocolate-flavored coating” my sound a bit sketchy, this is one of my all-time favorite candy bars in terms of pure yumminess. ---

NutRageous made me think of Reese’s Fastbreak: > **[REESE'S FAST BREAK Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Candy Bar, 1.8 oz](https://www.hersheyland.com/products/reeses-fast-break-milk-chocolate-peanut-butter-candy-bar-1-8-oz.html)** > > REESE'S peanut butter and soft nougat covered in deliciously rich milk chocolate for a candy bar that is perfect to get your REESE'S on-the‐go. Something about the texture made these addictive! Definitely sweet too. ---

Zero bars are good . The white chocolate is very sweet. ---

You’d probably enjoy the new Hershey’s bar, [Hershey Gold](https://www.hersheys.com/en_us/products/hersheys-gold-bar-standard-size.html). No chocolate in there, as far as I know, so if even milk chocolate is a bit bitter to you, that might be worth trying. ---

Just needs a counter-force of sweetness. 😉 ---

Hands down my favorite candy bar is Take 5. Peanut butter, caramel, pretzels, and peanuts covered in milk chocolate. The salty and sweet together is amazing!
