What is your favorite candy?

[IrishEyes]

Since it is halloween time, I was wondering what kind of candy everyone likes.

Personally, I like cinnamon bears, tootsie rolls and Mary Janes. I'm not a fan of gummy worms, candy corn and white chocolate.

[Heartstrings]

1. Anything Caramel

But not with peanuts. Speaking of peanuts, those circus peanuts are disgusting...

[trueblue2007]

17. CHOCOLATE & Anything Caramel

[tavernier]

46. Thank you!

My best friend (who has passed) and I share a sign... circus peanuts... and whenever I see it I know she is waving to me. It’s the sign I asked her to use because it’s not a common set of words. (I chose it because we ate them together once when we were kids). Anyway, she has found a way to send them to me several times lately, so thanks for the help!!

[Sherman A1]

2. Milky Way Bars

6. Lindt Truffles.

[yellowdogintexas]

50. those things make me go totally overboard

if you lived in Fort Worth I would take you to Central Market and get their house brand truffles. They are divine. Lightly dusted with cocoa instead of a dipped shell. SO. GOOD.

[samnsara]

7. Brachs Walnut goodies and Marshmallow Peanuts..

[Ferrets are Cool]

8. Reece's Peanut Butter Cups

[leftieNanner]

Either plain or drizzled with dark chocolate. Maybe a pecan on top.

[OregonBlue]

10. Milky way dark.

[50 Shades Of Blue]

11. Reese's peanut butter cups, Heath bars, licorice all-sorts, Almond Joys,

Peanut M&M's, Orange Starburst, maple sugar candy

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

I've always hated Tootsie Rolls, but you can make kind of a fun cake with them:

[Tanuki]

13. I'd be hard pressed to pick a favorite but here's a tip: I was at Aldi's

last week and they had these excellent Belgian chocolate pumpkins. Delicious and beautiful, and several varieties were included in the box. Get some before they're gone !

[JenniferJuniper]

14. Kinder Bueno

to die for

[Arkansas Granny]

15. Milky Way Midnight.

[Bleacher Creature]

[fierywoman]

20. TJ's peanut butter cups (milk choc, bien sur!)

[Lunabell]

21. Anything but black licorice!

As far as Halloween goes, I love those peanut butter taffies in the orange and black wrappers. Then, anything chocolate. Oh and those green apple lollipops with the caramel on them, but I can't eat them cause I have old teeth, lol.

[IrishEyes]

26. I love those peanut butter candies in the orange and black wrappers.

[safeinOhio]

22. Samples.

Loved her when I was young.

[GeorgeGist]

23. Peanut M&Ms

[bamagal62]

24. butterfingers

[tblue37]

25. I love many but don't eat any. But #1 would be lemon drops.

[doc03]

27. I am not sure give me a sample of each so I

can try them.

[Dave in VA]

28. Candy

[Phentex]

60. stole my answer! I even love circus peanuts...

I don't like coconut though. But it's hard to find a candy I don't like.

[Niagara]

29. My favorite candy would be Goo Goo Clusters and Pearson's Bun Bars

They're getting harder to find and don't seem very popular these days.



Regular candy favorites would be Tootsie Rolls, Payday and Snickers.

[Tanuki]

31. Oh, my stars! You should come to Nashville when the pandemic is over!

https://googoo.com

[Niagara]

37. I've ordered them online before.

Although, they should be right there with all the other sweet treat goodies in the grocery store's check-out line.



When I get a chance to get back to visit NOLA, I will be stopping by Nashville.

[yellowdogintexas]

49. you can get them at Cracker Barrel in the shop.

Goo Goo is in a class by itself

[MicaelS]

30. Sweettarts. n/t

[Wicked Blue]

32. Trader Joe's jellybeans

So addictive!

[Tanuki]

40. I've never had theirs, but I like most of their products so would probably enjoy.

Do you like Jelly Belly brand jellybeans?

[Wicked Blue]

43. Sure

but I like T.J.'s even better. You have to try them!

[Tanuki]

51. Alas, the closest T.J.'s is 15 miles from my home! With 5 groceries

within 2 miles of me, I never get there.

[Harker]

33. Smarties.

Not sure they're helping, though.

[tavernier]

45. My grandson used to call them Farties when he was three

because he couldn’t make the S sound. It became a family thing because the older kids would ask him over and over just to hear him say it, and then laugh.

[Harker]

54. Sweet.

I'll try it out with my wife.

[ailsagirl]

34. Boiled sweets

AKA hard candy

I never knew what boiled sweets were-- finally had to google it. It's the Brits' term for hard candy.

Also Hershey's almond chocolate bars.

[Stuart G]

35. Candy Corn....that is it, and that is all there is...

As sweet as can be, and no talk back..

[OilemFirchen]

36. Bartons Almond Kisses

Joyva Chocolate Covered Halvah

[Beringia]

38. Hersheys with almonds or Snickers or Peanut Joy

[eppur_se_muova]

39. Droste Pastilles, half milk and half dark chocolate.

No one's going to be handing those out for Halloween !

Them that gets them, do not share.

[customerserviceguy]

41. Anything

with mint and chocolate!

[marked50]

42. Swedish Fish

[tavernier]

44. Mallo Bars.

Not always easy to find.

[Totally Tunsie]

47. Strawberry Twizzlers, and nothing other than that.

I've always been a "salty" person rather than a "sweet".

[yellowdogintexas]

48. as an adult: high quality dark chocolate. as a kid: 3 Musketeers and Hershey Bars

Neither of which tastes any where near as good as they did in the 1950s

[Codeine]

57. They taste the same, you just grew up

and realized what good chocolate tastes like. Hershey’s is made with rotten milk and tastes like vomit, literally.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

52. What's ya got?

[DFW]

53. Not one easily gotten in the USA, though available in New York City

There is a Swiss chocolate maker called Läderach. They make various kinds of chocolate, including white.

My favorite is a white chocolate with a heavy dose of raspberry and blackberry bits all through it (Himbeer und Brombeer). They have one retail outlet in New York City around 59th and Lex. Their dark chocolate bark with orange peel isn't too shabby, either.

Second is a small bar ("mini&quot made by Café-Tasse in Brussels. It is white chocolate with finely ground coffee running through it. If you have a pile of them set before you, the only question is do you stop because they are all gone, or because you are feeling sick from have eaten too many.

Otherwise, for me the only chocolate is dark, though with a hint of mint or orange flavor is just fine.

And, since variety is the spice of life, there is another chocolate store in Sprout City, called Wittamer, that makes assorted chocolates, one of which is a little bullet-shaped chocolate with passion fruit filling.

If you can't make it to Belgium or Switzerland, there is a store in Paris near the stock exchange (Bourse) that sells their own thin fingers of candied orange peel covered with an exquisite dark chocolate. It's called Debauve et Gallais, at the corner of Rue Feydeau. They are stupidly expensive, about $100 for a pound box, so once a year only at Christmas!

[IrishEyes]

55. I live in NYC so I will have to try Lderach

Thank you for the suggestion.

[DFW]

56. They have quite a divrse selection

Not everyone likes white chocolate. Their various kinds of bark go from ok to fabulous. The one I like has a pink color from the raspberry juice, you can't miss it. There is also a white chocolate with almonds, pistachios and bits of orange rind. The dark chocolate with orange rind is great, too. As for the rest, just follow your tastes.

731 Lex in Manhattan. Well worth the trip!

[Codeine]

58. Marzipan with dark chocolate.

But I rarely can find good quality examples, so I almost never eat candy. I will occasionally steal a few Skittles from the kids, but two or three is usually enough to satisfy any sweet craving I have.

I’m more of a salty snacks guy.

[area51]

59. Reece's peanut butter cups

[Fla Dem]

61. Not a big candy eater, but enjoy good chocolate.

Pretty much my go to candy when I get a hankering. Just the plain milk chocolate; no nuts, fruit, or other embellishments.

[Paladin]

62. Toss-up: Marzipan or plain old jelly beans. (nt)

[Wolf Frankula]

63. Ritter Sport Candy Bars

Especially the ones with hazelnuts or marzipan.
