I've been riding a Cabury egg high for the last two weeks! :-)<br /><br />@Kendra: Hmmm... I don't think I've ever had a Galaxy Caramel bar! I'm not opposed to Three Musketeers bars, but I would say I only really like the mint ones & the dark chocolate ones.<br /><br />@Sarah W: While I do love dark chocolate, I've definitely moved more into a fruity stage in my life. Skittle & Sour Patch Kids are the best!<br /><br />@Debbi: I forgot all about Toblerone bars - they are awesome! I also love the dark chocolate version... heck, even the honey/white chocolate version is delicious (and I'm usually not a big white chocolate eater).<br /><br />@Mouthy Girl: Mario is the same way about Lindt Lindor Truffles - while I don't dislike them, there's something about them that kinda turns me off. It might be that I'm not a huge fan of their chocolate.chicago foodie girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332010809660151470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256671293925313962.post-85434212469863978372012-03-13T18:13:18.484-05:002012-03-13T18:13:18.484-05:00Dude, I simply cannot say no to Snickers.

I'll eat the originals or the dark chocolate with almonds. <br /><br />With that said, I only eat them if I can't snatch up a bag of Lindt Lindor Truffles. I am partial to the milk or dark chocolate. I find 'white chocolate' to be incredibly nasty. Bleh. <br /><br />Once in a while I'll eat the Cadbury bars with nuts and raisins because those suckers remind me of being a little kid and hanging with my Dad.Mouthy Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390913450937641605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256671293925313962.post-31310452214268798812012-03-13T16:32:39.834-05:002012-03-13T16:32:39.834-05:00I have never had a fondness for Whatchamacallits o...I have never had a fondness for Whatchamacallits or KitKats. When I was a kid I went for the sour candies...sweet tarts, cherry sours, lemon heads, lemon drops, etc. I have liked Twix and Milky Ways...but I LOVED Toblerone bars from the first bite, fell in love with Cadbury's when visiting Canada (they didn't have them in Texas way back then)...and I love Ghirardelli mint filled squares and caramel filled square... and Lindt truffles - milk on milk - make me moan.

So good on summer nights. I go back and forth between wanting chocolate or wanting something fruity (Sour Patch, twizzlers, etc.). I rarely crave a candy bar anymore (maybe a KitKat once every few months). I used to love Skor bars as a teen though.Sarah Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10428640348018506970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256671293925313962.post-79371499305039449622012-03-13T15:01:23.367-05:002012-03-13T15:01:23.367-05:00I liked Watchamacallits too when I was a kid, but ...I liked Watchamacallits too when I was a kid, but now my favorites are Three Musketeers and Galaxy Caramel bars.

Maybe I just didn't remember how they used to taste. My favorite candy bars: Butterfinger, Kit Kat, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups... But the best candy ever is the Cadbury Cream Egg.

Sounds completely backwards to me. I'm with you -- I don't eat candy-bars very often, and when I do, they've gotta be good. Your list sounds delicious. Chai bars are SOOOOO yummy!Kelli @ Momma Needs a Beerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897429808949272623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256671293925313962.post-69336877112081820112012-03-13T12:01:04.052-05:002012-03-13T12:01:04.052-05:00KitKats- forever!

I try to stay away from all of them but if I'm forced (translation: some co-worker has a jar of them) than peanut butter cups, Take 5 and peanut M&M's. I like Reeses Pieces, too, but those are Mr. Hungry Couple's favorites and he usually eats them all before I get to them :) Damn...now I want some candy...Anita at Hungry Couplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04218183594835435949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3256671293925313962.post-16820305907430582932012-03-13T11:51:27.547-05:002012-03-13T11:51:27.547-05:00@Tastefully Julie: I loved them for years, but the...@Tastefully Julie: I loved them for years, but they're definitely different now.
