Way, Way, WAY OT - What is your favorite...
...candy?
I was just chuckling to myself over 86er's request for help last year in obtaining some special Hershey candy bars. I myself have a sweet tooth that is going to be the death of me someday - but I will die happy! I think my favorite is a Heath bar - I love toffee. Raisinets, Snow Caps, Junior Mints, 3 Musketeers, Zero bars are all up there as well. I usually treat myself to a Dairy Queen "Blizzard" with double the Heath bar on my way back from my trips to Atlanta. There have been times when I have been out and simply ordered the dessert instead of a meal. No wonder I can't lose any weight!
So, do you have a favorite?

"Royal Crown" sour cherry hard candy. Unfortunately, I haven't seen it in years. If anyone has this candy in their area, I'll buy a case!

I don't do a whole lotta candy, when I do, it's usually a Snickers bar. Pastries, on the other hand, are my weakness. Gimme a warm peach cobbler with lots of ice cream on top, some white chocolate chip with Macadamia nut cookies, iced brownies or like goodies and I'm happier than a dead pig in the sunshine! (we need a lip-smacking smiley).

Heath bars are good I think also !
But the malted milk balls called "whoppers" are pretty good !

I don't care much for chocolate but that Laffy Taffy is pretty addicting. I also love Starburst, Jolly Ranchers,Werthers and Skittles. I guess I do love penut butter M&M's too.

I am a supplier to a Russel Stover Candy plant. Often, they have complimentary boxes of reject candy, some little flaw that hurts nothing but looks, and I get a pound of it or so. Not good for the waistline, but sure good chocolate.

milk chocolate from hersheys, snickers, milky way (frozen) I try to avoid candy though. I do own 5 vending machines for candy and have them placed. Popular favorites are Good and plenty, plain m&m's, peanut m&m's, cashews(not candy I know), skittles, sour skittles. I use the proceeds from the machines to sponsor children in Ethiopia through compassion international.

Re: Way, Way, WAY OT - What is your favorite...
+ 3 for Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar,..... although, has to be with almonds!
flatnose - try licorice twist (comes in black or red color). Somewhat easy to find and I think the same as your aniseed favorite.

Anything from "World's Finest Chocolate". We used to sell those for fund raising when I was in Little League Baseball. The chocolate covered almonds are killer!
Also, I wish I could find some "Fortune Bubble" bubble gum. It was the best tasting bubble gum and had those profound little fortunes. They used to sell them for a penny a stick. I would buy a bag full, then take it to school and sell them for 10 cents each! The American way, baby!

Re: Way, Way, WAY OT - What is your favorite...
Must be one of those deja vu all over again things. I'm not a big candy fan but just this week I had a pang for some southern style pecan pralines. Being that I'm the head cook and bottle washer here, literally, I made up a batch last Monday. First time I've done those in about 20 years.
PRALINE PECAN CANDY
2 c. sugar
2 c. dark brown sugar
1 small can cream (evaporated milk)
1/4 lb. unsalted butter (stick)
1 c. pecans (I like roasted pecans for a slightly nuttier flavor))
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
In a large pan, mix sugar and cream well. Place on moderate heat and boil. Cook mixture until a ball forms when you drop it in cold water. Remove from heat. Add butter and pecans. Beat by hand for approximately 3 minutes. (If candy starts to become too hard, add just a little cream.) Drop, using a large spoon, onto waxed paper. Makes approximately 24 pralines. Or do like I did, just pour it all out on Pammed tinfoil and spread it out for one gaint praline and once it hardens just break off a piece.

Re: Way, Way, WAY OT - What is your favorite...
You guys sure go for the cheap stuff, come on!!!
Although spending more is not always an indication. Up at the mall there's a store selling chocolates from Belgium, claimed to be the world's best. They were giving away samples (because they couldn't sell any at $60 a pound) and I tried one. It actually had less flavor than most chocolate, but the consistency was very smooth, it had a very low melting point.
One of the greats is Frango Mint (and other varieties) available at Marshall Field's in Chicago. You can get it mail order. Excellent flavor, a little salty gets it just right, perfect consistency. Price is high but not obscene.
As far as regular brands, I think Dove dark chocolate is the winner. A close second would be Turtles.
I used to love "Non-Pareils" which were dark chocolate discs with tiny white beads imbedded in the top. I also go for Raisinets.

I'm partial to Peanut M&M's.
When I first started driving years ago I picked up a load of M&M's in Hershey, PA. When I went to sign my paperwork they dropped this 5# bag of M&M's on top as a treat.
