Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, no question.
But I always wonder if they can really be called candy BARS. They’re candy, for sure, and they go in the vending machine slots for candy bars, and I think they answer the question “what is your favorite candy bar?” … but in my mind, I am still thinking they are not truly a bar.
No love for Baby Ruth’s here-slightly better than a Snicker’s, and, while I love Reese’s, I hate getting all the peanut butter stuck in my (face) cheeks.
British not American, right? HATE American Smarties.
Twix, straight up. Definitely Twix.
If I have cash (and room in my calorie budget), Twix is followed closely by the Vosges Bacon Chocolate bar. Yum.
Whatchamacallit. Totally underrated and overlooked! BUY ONE TODAY!
I’m actually thinking of Canadian Smarties. The are still made by Nestle, but they are made in a different plant in Canada and in my opinion have a much better flavour than the UK version.
For those who don’t know, they are similar to M&M’s, but so much better (in my opinion of course)
Also, I was trying to specify the candy coated chocolates when I said a ‘box of Smarties’. American Smarties (which are called Rockets in Canada) come in plastic wrappings.
Mounds is my favorite “regular” bar–dark chocolate & coconut! (Although there is always room for M&M’s.)
Or I can get fancy with Dagoba’s Xocolatl:
Vosges Oaxaca. Costs a lot ($8.50, I think), and the shipping is outrageous too. So I only get them when my sister gives me them at Christmas.
The real, British Cadbury Dairy Milk is another favorite, but I can only get it at the Brit specialty store. They cost $4 or so, so I don’t get them very often. The Hershey-made US Cadbury bars suck.
For regular candy bars, I like Chunky best, and sometimes a Milky Way Dark (called Forever Yours in previous incarnations).
I remember eating Smarties in long cardboard tubes but this was ages ago when I was a little Freudian Slit.
Can these be found in the United States that you know of? I love them so!
I’m an annoying chocolate snob, but I have a weakness for Twix and $100000 bars.
I agree, both in that peanut M&Ms are the BEST and in the appropriate method by which they are consumed. Must be the academic life.
Another one that I like is the Zero bar. That may be a regional brand. That I like any particular candy is peculiar as I usually don’t care for sweets at all.
I used to love Violet Crumble bars, from Australia, but they are getting harder and harder to find anymore in the US. If I’m really jonesing for a candy bar I’ll usually grab a Skor or Heath.
Twix is my favorite!

I have also found the UK version in World Market Stores, but they were horribly overpriced. Something like $2 or $3 for each box.
Yup! And I don’t really care for sweets either- which I think is why I like the peanut M&Ms so much- they’re mostly savory.
Skybars can’t carry a Seven-ups wrapper. 
I love the Zero bar. But I only get it when I’m at a gas station on a long trip. Can’t seem to find it in regular stores.
Coffee Crisp. I have eaten it for breakfast on occasion. What? It has “coffee” right in the NAME! Surely that makes it breakfast food.
Our Smarties come in little cellophane rolls of maybe 10 or so. I’m a Smarties addict. I’ll eat them until my tongue gets citrus’d out.
