Best candy ever? Why?

[ReardenSteel]

I'm thinking maybe it's the Tootsie Roll pop. Why? For longevity, flavor choices and for putting candy inside their candy. For the latter, a hardy Guiness ad style "Brilliant!".

[DaSaintFan]

Jellybeans and Reese's Peanut Butter cups!!!  (not necessarily at the same time though!)

[Schadenfreude]

Hershey caramel filled kisses and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.

Why? Because!

I love Tootsie Roll pops.  It's at least in my top five.

I can't decide... too many choices.  I like Twizzlers and traditional black licorice.

[jendf]

I would have to say Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are my all-time favorite. My sentimental favorites are Fire Jolly Ranchers and Pixie Stix.

Jellybeans!  Hershey Kisses with caramel!  Too many choices!

I've always been partial to two old standards, Junior Mints and Hershey's Kisses.

I can't remember if they were Tootsie Pops, but I remember finding these extra-large tootsie pop-like lollipops.   LOVED them.  Got some perverted comments from an ex about it, when he saw me sucking on one.     

(Yes, I smacked him for what he said).


I also am fond of York Peppermint patties.

Nobody say orange circus peanuts or I shall puke.

I love Terry's Chocolate Oranges.  You usually only see them at Easter.

[Hawkgirl]

Peeps...nothing like sugar coated soft marshmallow to satisfy a sweet tooth.

I also love chocolate, especially dark.

[Chris_]

Okay, I wasn't imagining things.



The supersized Tootsie pop is not a myth.   

[Carl]

Definitely Reeses Peanut Butter Cups for store bought.

Here locally,Maple sugar candy.

Cadbury's Dairy Milk-Fruit and Nut
Citrus and chocolate mixes
coconut and chocolate mixes

I lean toward the foreign or exotic.

I always liked Snicker's here though, but I eat them weird...seperate the layers

I do the same thing to Kit Kats.

I cut Snickers into bite-size pieces and stick them in the freezer for an hour.

I have recently rediscovered the Tootsie Roll pop.

Ok, all you north Texas Cave dwellers - There is a Russell-Stovers candy factory on Hwy. 80 near where it splits off with I-20.  It has an outlet store.  Well worth the visit.  Hours-old fresh stuff.  Cheap.  

I was there before Christmas.  They had the chocolate covered marshmallow Santas that sell at 99 cents apiece at Walgreen's priced at 3 for a dollar.  Then I spotted the chocolate covered Halloween marshmallow candies (same thing; different shape) selling at 7 for a dollar.  This stuff has never been on a truck.  It is Heaven.  Well worth the trip.  Half-price at the most.

They're getting there Valentines stuff out now.  I gotta go back.

There is (or was) a Russel Stover outlet store near Gatlinburg up in the mountains.  My cousin who visits from the UK every couple of years usually buys a couple bags of candies to take back with her.

They do make great stuff.  I think Russell-Stovers is underappreciated in the candy world.  They have really good chocolate.

Mmm, I may have to order these.

[Lord Undies]

You realize they don't actual blow, don't you?

Yes, I am aware of that.

Some people get them confused with Pop Rocks.  I didn't mean to insult.

Sometimes you gotta let a certain candy go for awhile. Just having an adult pallet I guess. Candy is a rare treat, usually just stomping down memory lane.

I used to go to the movies when I was 10 (or so) and have a bag of sour patch kids. Yup, whole bag. My tounge would be dead for two days and the roof of my mouth would be sandpaper. Did it every time. after a few decades I can eat them again. (in small doses)
