Isn't that just a baby ruth they forgot to put chocolate on?

Actually as an aside I live very near a mfg plant for baby-ruth
payday\butterfinger and payday's are incredibly fantastic when they're fresh off the line.

Really.

He's right though. For some reason American candy makers want to give us bitter chocolate.

I'm a Take 5 convert. I like the saltyness of the preztel instead of the sweet shortbread cookieness of the Twix to go along with the caramel and chocolate.

But if I'm in the mood for a pure unadulterated sugar overload, 100 Grand is my master.

Huh? Chocolate IS bitter unless you add sugar to it. If anything, American chocolate is much sweeter than asian or european chocolate.

I concur. Twix > *. Not so great when melty, but from the fridge they're great.

I do not know if Twix are the best.

I do know that the Idaho Spud Bar is perhaps the very worst candy bar.

I was eating one of those Reese Sticks last night and thought, man this is stupid why do they give us two instead of just one big bar.
Then I ate the first one, and went back to what I was doing and after a few minutes I had a craving and was like "man I wish I had another one" then I looked down...
Sweet! I DO have another one!
Yea, it was... interesting.

I still like the cups better than the sticks.

Twix are pretty good, but Milky Way and 3 Musketeers are better.

Snickers are horrid, though.

Nuts and chocolate should not be combined....unless it deals with kinky foreplay....

Snickers would be so awesome without the nuts. I mean, Milky Way is close, but the nougat doesn't seem to be the same.
It's odd how chocolate and peanut butter are so good together, but chocolate and peanuts aren't.

Reese's peanut butter cups are the only edible candy in the US. Worldwide I think Cadburys Flakes are the best (Hint: many indian grocers in the US know this and therefore import them)

Take 5 are definitely awesome. 100 Grand are always good too (although when I'm in the mood for something like that, I usually grab a Whatchamacallit instead).
