In the Halloween spirit, I have decided to start a thread on this subject:
What is your favorite candy?
I like Reeses Pieces.
My favorite sweets are Parmaviolets, Aniseed Balls, the old hard black Midget Gems, sherbert of any flavour, Whitby rock, Bon Bons, Kendal Mint Cake, Lager Tops, and Drumsticks.
A bar of Whole Nut is lovely too! :)
When I was little they used to make sweets called 'Shocks' or something and they were fun because each packet would contain a couple of really disgusting salt filled sour centred ones among the nice ones. :) It was kind of like russian roulette for the playground. :)
Of course, my 2nd fav. is peanut butter cup, 3rd is... well, probably one of those candy bars. there are too many. Maybe butter fingers. Or maybe my 3rd fav. is candy corn
Chocolate-covered butter toffee. Yummmmmmmm...
From most to least: Twix Bar, Skittles, Kit Kat
Mmmmm! Twix -bite off both ends and drink tea through it. MMmmMmmMm!
Chocolate-covered butter toffee. Yummmmmmmm...
I think thats what we call Cinder Toffee over here? Nice. :)
I love candy corn, especially when it's been sitting out in a bowl for a few days so it's all crusty...mmmm!
Sherbert filled (coloured rice paper) flying saucers! :D

I like eating stale Sugar Puffs when they're all clumped together in the bottom of the box! :)
Its got to be a toss up between Butterfingers and Reece's Peanut Butter Cups. I only eat one of each a year, but damn they are good.
I like pumkin pie Truffles by Godiva. They are to DIE for.
SAMMICH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Peanut Butter Kitkats!
Well of the commercial candy bars (as opposed to fine chocolates), I used to probably like Twix and Kit Kat the most. Although Goldberg's Peanut Chews were pretty fantastic. That said, they all have thier charms, don't they?
R-type is still blowing my mind. Twix straw tea sipping and stale conglomerations of sugar smacks forming a makeshift holiday ball? How adventurous! I feel like I've never given food enough thought. :)
Jellybeans.
Preferably Jelly Belly, though any will do. Most I've eaten in one day was four pounds (Lord was I sick that Christmas, but it was sooooooo good).
My wife really likes the Lifesaver swirled suckers, but those are darned difficult to find around here. Just like the Mexican Coke; when it shows up, you buy it out (um, I should probably specify here I'm talking about Cane Sugar Coca-Cola).

Stop thinking of food as just a necessary fuel for your 'meat machine' like a Raistlin and live! :P
I'm a good cook, but if I'm not cooking for someone else I really do just treat food as fuel 90% of time. I don't think I love myself enough. BRB, I'm going to go court me and see what develops.
those orange chocolate things you smack on a counter to eat properly.
Awwww yeah. Tobler Orange. I believe Terry makes them now (owned by Kraft). I've considered having my teeth removed and living off of chocolate oranges and cadbury eggs for the rest of my very short life.
Double-chocolate KitKat bars (so hard to find...), otherwise Hershey's Nuggets--Toffee & Almond. Too good for any Trick or Treaters!
I'm partial to Three Musketeers or Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, though when I was a kid I called Hershey's Kisses "Medicine Candy" because they made me feel better.
As a lil tricker treater I went to this one house where a benificent and well-to-do family invited all the kids in to a table upon which were peppermint sticks like billy clubs, fist-sized chocolate kisses, and plastic candy canes full of candy corn. Most people gave those sample-pak candy bars so this was the Halloween motherlode.
I was offered two. I took the peppermint bat and the kiss that could choke a horse. The bat got a thousand licks, which barely stripped away the surface color, before becoming turning into an ill wrapped dust magnet. I gnawed harmlessly on the side of that big chocolate kiss, but after weeks in the fridge I'd barely made a dent and it was turning unpalatably pale and dry looking. Felt like a funeral tossing it into the trash can.
Any seasonal large Reese's candy pretty much wins (eggs, heart, etc.).
Too bad I'm on a diet to cut down on fat *cry*
I completely agree... and understand on the diet part too!

I like deep friend childrens fingers.....
Did I just say that out loud????
Belgian dark chocolates - paired with Belgian dark stong ale! Sounds weird - but tastes fantastic!
That's what you give the kids who come to your door? That must be really expensive.
That's what I get for staying home and answering the door! ;-)Belgian dark chocolates - paired with Belgian dark stong ale! Sounds weird - but tastes fantastic!That's what you give the kids who come to your door? That must be really expensive.
It's a solid plan. Kids are far less likely to TP your house when you send 'em off tanked and wobbly.
Jellybeans.

Do you like the licarice flavor? I have never met anyone who does; I think they just mix those little vomit nuggets in with the good ones because they're cheaper to make and it makes you buy more jelly beans faster.
For everyday, I like Reese’s Peanut butter cups. (no, I don’t eat them everyday. I wish I had the metabolism to though.) During Halloween, I like the Mary Jane Peanut butter Kisses, those things are AWESOME! During Easter, I like the little individual marshmallow bunnies that come in pastel colors. And who doesn’t like PEEPS!
Silver Dragon eyeballs.
Fried Were-poodle legs. Fried Were-poodle liver. Broiled were-poodle brains. ~stops for a minute~ Wait a minute. There are no brains in this Were-poodle!
Do you like the licarice flavor?
I do, oddly enough. I even like the jalapeno, even though I don't like jalapenos. The "Harry Potter" grass flavored ones aren't bad, either. About the only jelly belly beans I don't like are the coffee flavored beans, though I will typically eat them anyhow (on the side, so they don't mess with my other flavors).

I had a high school chemistry teacher that basically subsisted on buttered popcorn-flavored jelly beans.
I feel I should add here for those who love chocolate: American chocolate is horrible.
Seriously, it’s barely chocolate at all. So bad that when you first eat real chocolate, it tastes downright odd, before it becomes really, really tasty. Do yourself a favor, and track down some imported chocolate this year. The downside is, you can get spoiled by it really quickly, and not want to eat American chocolate anymore.
My favorite candy is my Mom's home-made English Toffee.
Tastes kinda like Almond Rocha, but with walnuts instead of almonds, lots of chocolate instead of a thin shell, and buttery toffee that just melts in your mouth.
O.K., so it's peripherally like Almond Rocha, but it makes Almond Rocha taste like crap in comparison.
Commercial candy? Anything with peanut butter or caramel.
The downside is, you can get spoiled by it really quickly, and not want to eat American chocolate anymore.
This is very true...

Well these guys were talking Halloween-type candies.
Specialty chocolates are a whooooooooole different ball o' goodness.
Point me to the house handing out belgian chocolate or Godiva truffles and you'll see the world's tallest Casper standing in line with a Hefty cinch sack.

Thats a good point, The Fake Gem, but I actually agree with them. American chocolate tastes AWFUL!!!

btw.... the reeses BIG CUPs are similar in quality to the seasonal candys from Reeses. Worth checking out if you need that fix.

I've considered having my teeth removed and living off of chocolate oranges and cadbury eggs for the rest of my very short life.Sounds like Heaven to me!
Except for the teeth removed part...
It'll only hurt once Mike - better than recurring tooth infections, cavities, root canals ... just yank 'em all out and slurp your gruel to your heart's content. Until the dentures come in ... mmmm, steak, nummies...

Actually, I'm The Jade because though I'm the return of the messiah, I just don't care anymore. Except about good chocolate. I'm not a chocolate person but really good chocolate is better than watching giraffes fight over a tree.
I've never had american chocolate? Is it as bad as their breakfast cereals? -I've tried one of those before and it was like eating extremly bright and sweet polystyrene pieces saturated in cancer causing chemicals and food colourings. :) Healthier foodstuffs have fallen from christmas crakers IMO.

Some people like San Francisco, California's Ghiradelli chocolate. There are brands of organic chocolate that I like quite a bit (like Green & Black--eating one of their Dark Chocolate bars now... 70% cocoa content). There are companies here that care enough to make great chocolate, but Hersheys isn't one of them.

You can buy those Hersheys bars over here now. I didn't know Green and Black chocolate was from the USA! I quite like it -it's like the swiss stuff you sometimes get over here -dark and strong. :)
