An unwrapped Tootsie Roll would be easy to identify with a little twisting and pulling. ---

Nestle’s crunch is pretty distinctive. So are Reese’s peanut butter cups. Kit kat (although every flavor feels the same). Ritters sport (ditto). Heck, lots of them. ---

Mounds and Almond Joys would be pretty easy. Also Peppermint Patties. And Big Hunks. ---

Milk Duds, between the shape and the waxy chocolate coating. Twix, due to the shape and outer texture. ---

Krakel has a top that feels like the top of a Hershey’s bar. The top of Nestle’s crunch is quite different. ---

Baby Ruth The long shape is fairly distinctive. It’s narrow compared to other candy bars. There are bumps from the peanuts. Mounds and Almond joy are wider than Baby Ruth and they’re cut in half.
