It should taste delicious also. My vote goes to Toffifay. Beautiful little caramel cup with a hazelnut inside and a chocolate cap. Nestled in a gold foil tray that slides out of a box for the presentation.

They are nice, but my vote goes to Ferrero Rocher:

The pig-latin sounding name is a distraction though.

Does it have to be mass-produced? Because

+1 for Toffifee and the fact the producer is not Unilever, Mondelez or Nestlé helps, but how about a thread for different product names in different countries…?

Ferrero Raffaello gets my vote. It’s the coconut version of Ferrero Rocher. They look and taste better than the chocolate version.

A big bowl of M&Ms is kinda pretty! (Doesn’t last very long around me…but it’s pretty.)

I really don’t like hazelnut. I’ll suffer through a Ferrero Rocher and ever so often I’ll get a hankering for Nutella. But every time I’ve received a package of Toffifay, I’ve left them in the coffee break room (before Corona) and had nary a one.

Any discussion of what tastes good is going to be very subjective.

I’m also not fond of candies which have a high packaging to content ratio.

My favorite is peppermint hard candy or candy canes. I love peppermint and I find them so cheery when put in a bowl. My grandmother always had a glass candy jar filled with peppermints. Peppermint puffs also work.

Love 'em! The wife just brought home a bunch of leftover candy canes that Dollar General set out. They are the small versions wrapped in a glassine envelope. For once she got something I like. She usually announces, " I got you candy" and shows me a pack of Butterfinger wafers which ain’t candy. But they disappear anyway.

My grandmother used to buy ribbon candy every year around Christmas. It’s a hard sugar candy, and each piece was a difference flavor and a different mix of colors (yellow stripes on lemon, red on peppermint, then on spearmint, etc.) They really liked like a box of fancy ribbons, and we’re very festive.
