OK, it's the morning after and you're left with whatever candy you weren't able to pawn off on marauding bands of abbreviated ghosts and goblins...so it's time for that age-old question: "What is the best candy bar?"

Hell, they're all good. My favorite is Nestle Crunch (The one pound bar). Other notables are Almond Joy, Baby Ruth, PayDay...the list goes on.

Man, you sure know how to take the fun out of a "What I like is better than what you like" internet war.

Sorry to be so agreeable. I'm married so I've learned that to get along you have to go along.
5.) bluecat - 11/01/2017
If that's okay with you.

Did you want to have an argument?

It's been forever since I've had a PayDay bar so I might have to go find one to see if I remember it.
I'm not big on coconuts or almonds in candy, so that's out. I think Baby Ruths are out from what I remember, and Twixt.
Reese's are not high on my list.
Nestle's Crunch seemed better when I was a kid. I like plain Nestle's bars okay, but a good chocolate Easter bunny is the best.
My favorite Halloween candy is candy corn, but it has to be the good stuff like Brach's. I can eat it like ... candy. I once found a big bag of it when I was a kid and gorged on it hiding behind a couch. I ate so much I got sick, but ...
I never thought I'd say this, but I did have candy corn once that was a little nasty. Not sure if it got old on the shelf or what. It was some type of bargain brand, though.
Also not a bar: Sugar Daddy's are possibly my favorite candy of all time.
But in bars and bar candy accessories I like $100,000 Bars (which they've renamed to something like 100 Grand) Snickers, York Peppermint Patties and Three Musketeers. I don't have Three Musketeers too much because the first three are much preferred. When I get a Three Musketeers it's usually because I've gotten a little tired of Snickers. (I eat Snickers fairly often for an energy boost, especially out in the woods.)
And that's all I have to say about that!

It might be better to talk about the worst candy you've ever eaten as that is a smaller group.

I lied. I forgot about Chuckles. A BIG favorite, but they're hard to find. Imitations are never as good, and there are some truly bad ones out there. But again, if you stick to Brach's you can't go far wrong.
Also, I forgot about Good N Plenty ... Choo choo!
And is gum a candy? If so, we could be here for a while. I nominate Chiclets and Bazooka for special mention. Also, any gum that comes in a roll or a pouch ...
Candy cigarettes!
Wax vampire teeth!
Wax tubes with the liquid inside!
Twizzlers!
Licorice!
Sweet Tarts!
Somebody stop me!

There was a red hard candy ball. We called them jawbreakers. You weren't supposed to chew them. I don't know the name of them, but they'd come around every year at Halloween. Kind of a slightly hot sweet and spicy taste.
Different from Red Hots, which I remember as small and more sweet than spicy.

My wife craved those when she was pregnant with my daughter. I made the mistake of trying one, and almost 28 years later I still haven't completely shaken off the sugar buzz. I think they use what I like to call "neutron sugar", which is sugar formed at the heart of collapsed stars and has a million times the density of normal sugar due to its electrons have been stripped off and the nuclei packed together, forming their own gravitational field.

So I did a quick Google search:
Cinnamon jawbreakers, red hot jawbreakers and variations came up...I can't tell if Red Hot actually makes them, or if "red hot" is just being used as a descriptor. Then there's also Atomic Red Hot Jawbreakers.
Maybe I'm not remembering the difference between the little Red Hots and the big jawbreakers properly. I do remember the name "Atomic" being in there somewhere.
Another one of life's mysteries ...

I will say this. When positioned appropriately, provide interesting footprints on the sidewalk of the house that had the audacity of putting those in your halloween bag.

You could say that reference went right over my head.

Speaking of Halloween...last week I had to have some repairs done to the drain pipe running from my house to the street. When they were done it left this nice 5' mound of dirt where they'd refilled the trench:
