I friggin’ LOVE Ice Cubes! And they are SO hard to find around me–nigh on impossible. Man, they are delicious, though. Unbelievably tasty.

But, uh, if I can’t get Ice Cubes, I’m always up for a Coffee Crunch (yum yum) or a Kit Kat. Or Reese’s.

Lindt bittersweet dark chocolate with hazelnuts.

Aw, shucks. :o

I was strictly a Milky Way gal for many, many years, and greeted the Milky Way Dark with great delight (I adore dark chocolate) – but my default candy bar these days is Snickers with Almonds. (Regular Snickers, not so much.)

Seven Up is nice.

Hard to find these days, though. I don’t think it’s been made since 1980.

Snickers works for me now.

I like Snickers, but I put it in the refrigerator first. It’s much better when it’s hard and chewy.

Mounds and Almond Joy are also really good.

Peanut Butter cups. I really like the reverse kind with peanut butter on the outside and chocolate on the inside.

I also like the plain old dark chocolate bars.

Skor is awesome. I loved rittersport coffee and cream I used to find in Germany. Target was selling a mocha candy bar a while back that was the best.

I used to like the American marathon bars, a caramel braid covered in milk chocolate.

Growing up, it used to be special dark, but now they seem a bit waxy.

I try not to eat too much candy but I love these:

3 Musketeers  
Butterfinger  
Kit Kat  
Reeses Cups  
Peanut Butter Twix - so glad they brought these back!  
Crunch

I am not a caramel/nougat/nut fan. The above and some other random chocolate/peanut butter sorts of combination bars are about all I will eat besides fruity flavored candy like Starbursts etc. And I looove M&Ms from the freezer.

I used to love them. I think I must’ve been the only person in Australia who did because they no longer sell them here.

My default chocolate bar is currently Cherry Ripe but that may change.

Russell Stover sugar-free raspberry dark chocolates are my absolute favorite but I will occasionally have a Take Five or a KitKat if I get tempted at the check-out stand.

Twix. Snickers is a close second. After that … more Twix. 🙂

Cadbury Fruit and Nut bars

I’ve had the Cadbury chocolate that’s made in the US and the kind that’s made in England, and the US kind is creamier and the English kind has a “brighter” flavor and both are great. But I’ve heard that the Irish Cadbury milk chocolate has an appreciably better flavor than the English kind, and that has become my Holy Grail.

Okay, now I’m interested. In Canada, that candy is called Toffifee, but everyone I know pronounces it as Toffifay.

I am fond of Kit Kats, Wunderbars and Mars bars (like a Milky Way).
