I’m a hard candy fan, so where are my Jolly Ranchers? I also indulge in salty licorice from time to time. Dubbel zout anyone? ---

> [@notfrommensa](#): > > I really don’t consider most of the choices “Candy”. Candy bars, yes, but not ‘candy’. > [@Euryphaessa](#): > > I like a lot of these choices, but anything containing chocolate is not “candy” to me. This baffles me. Of course chocolate bars are candy. I’ve never heard of anybody making this distinction before. I have a prodigious sweet tooth and could add more candies to this list all day. But the most glaring omission is Lifesavers. ---

I voted for the vast majority of the list (because, c’mon, it’s candy). To the ones I voted for, I’d also add [Sour Patch Kids](http://www.mastgeneralstore.com/prodimages/4740-DEFAULT-m.jpg), [Lemonhead](http://www.susupop.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/LEMONHEAD.jpg) (and [Orangehead](http://blog.candy.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/orangeheads.jpg)), [Goetze’s caramel creams](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2778/4474912983_9f221a392e.jpg), [Reese’s Pieces](http://farm1.static.flickr.com/19/112210261_c4db78f1c4.jpg), [York Peppermint Patties](http://pinkpetunias.typepad.com/.a/6a00e550e0c07988330147e24cdebf970b-320wi), [Zero Bars](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2OereGvmfMw/R1o-42YVNCI/AAAAAAAAAOU/VFJ_JLqWKC0/s400/Zero.gif), [Zagnuts](http://www.munchiessweetsandtreats.com/thumbnail.asp?file=assets/images/zagnut.jpg&maxx=0&maxy=300), and [Reese’s Crispy Crunchy Bars](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2323/2253491502_5aa3d06b16_o.jpg).

Twizzlers is another of my favorites left off the list. And don’t get me started on the Twizzlers vs. Red Vines debate. I’ve always thought Red Vines taste like Play-Doh. ---

Heath and Skor as I love toffee, but I eat the chocolate off them before eating the toffee. Then, Payday and Reese’s cup due to the salt, which is noticeable to me. Whatchamacalit for the rice crispies. The only chocolate bar I like is Mr. Goodbar, which I can recognize by taste. I never really liked chocolate. As for what about? You forgot to lists the different Snickers. I prefer almond. Again, I separate it from the chocolate. ---

Aero bars. Love 'em. Don’t get 'em often enough. ---

Oh, yeah. I also love Cookie Dough Bites, even though I never eat them except at the movies. ---

> [@Infovore](#): > > Oh, yeah. I also love Cookie Dough Bites, even though I never eat them except at the movies. Since I work in a grocery store (kinda sorta) I was going through the new candies we are getting and saw that we are getting “cinnamon bun bites”, from the makers of cookie dough bites. ---

Looks like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are loved the most, followed by Snickers. ---

Thinking of this thread, I saw the Snickers Almond at the checkout counter and decided to grab a couple, as the first one I had was quite good, not to mention that I couldn’t find any marzipan outhouses at the supermarket… ---

Fat diabetic checking in…I like just about all of them except Twix, Reese’s Nutragious and Fastbreak, Baby Ruth and Payday. Of course I’m not supposed to eat any of them… ---

I really prefer Skor bars to Heath bars, but I voted for both, because they are both good. Skor bars just have better texture and flavor.
