Milky Way – You can’t hate Milky Ways the way you loathe Butterfingers. Goodbar – Nothing more than a Hershey Bar with peanuts, but I’ll eat peanuts on anything. Hershey’s is the biggest offender, but the almonds (as usual) make up for their shitty recipe. Hershey’s Almond Bar – they do something to American chocolate that always makes it taste a little sour when compared to the stuff you get in Europe. The ice cream bar they make, however, is very good, even if it does the same thing. Never try to eat one anywhere but outdoors or over a sink. Probably the messiest candy bar this side of a Butterfinger. Payday – Payday’s are always dry and stale, but there’s no denying the appeal of peanuts on (even stale) caramel.īaby Ruth – NOT named after the Yankee slugger WAS named after Grover Cleveland’s daughter! My issue with Baby Ruth’s is they always shatter into dozens of pieces of cheap chocolate the moment you bite into them. The retro Mars Bar made by our very own Ethel M Chocolates is a thing of beauty. Mars – I have no idea what that fluffy white stuff taking up all the room in a Mars bar is, but it’s not sickeningly sweet (at least compared with some fillings), and the almond kick makes it worth it. Here, they taste like sugar on sugar on sugar wrapped with sour chocolate. Kit Kat – Kit Kats made anywhere but America are great. Don’t believe me? Then trust this blind taste test by people with homemade cat masks over their eyes! Hershey’s Krackel – so much better than Nestle Crunch (not sickly sweet + crunchier), so much harder to find, too.
Snickers – some classics never go out of style. Snickers Almond – in case you haven’t guessed, almonds improve everything. Reese’s Cups – it’s the sweet/savory/salty thing that sets them apart. If you don’t believe me, ask this candy bar critic! But persevere, and find a packet that hasn’t been sitting around for a year, and you’ll find yourself (occasionally) craving one. Occasionally, they can be hard and stale, which might (understandably) turn you off to the whole experience. Like Reese’s Sticks, something you should grab when you see it.
(As with AJ, you have to buy into the whole sweetened coconut thing, though.)ġ00 Grand Bar – sort of an outlier, very dense, with just the right rice crispy crackle, a good long chew, and a solid chocolate finish. Mounds – almost as good as with almonds, Mounds always taste fresher than the competition in any candy machine. Positively addictive.Īlmond Joy – three words: almond, coconut, chocolate. Gossamer light in the hand and on the palate - the perfect combination of wafer crunch, sweet, savory, peanut and chocolate…with a slightly salty finish. Reese’s Sticks – not that easy to find but worth it.
