Snickers.

[miajag81]

I would say Payday is my favorite. I know it's just peanuts stuck together with caramel but it works somehow.

[Alobar]

receses peanut buter cups, straight from the freezer

If anyone wants to get anal that that isnt a candy bar, thenmy answer is Caramelo

[Jingleheimer]

Snickers Cruncher

[tbach24]

Toblerone (with the white nugut (sp?) in the middle. This stuff is the [censored].

For common one's I gotta go with Caramello tho. Twix is solid and top 5 def.

[stankybank]

I pick Twix or Kit-Kat.

Twix = QQ
Kit-Kat = AK

Preflop of course /images/graemlins/cool.gif

[The Yugoslavian]

I just ate a Twix ~5 minutes ago.

It was very good.

Yugoslav
Skor would be second...

[Paluka]

I'll go with the ol Peanut Butter Cup as well, although it is not technically a bar I guess.

[nolanfan34]

The candy with the cookie crunch.

Is peanut butter Twix considered acceptable for the Twix answer, or just the original?

[Blarg]

American chocolate type candy(candy bars) sucks, but Three Musketeers is actually highly regarded and sometimes said to be the best one.

I have some favorites, but overall I'd have to say that Three Musketeers probably is the best, regardless of what my personal favorites are.

[miajag81]

If Reese's cups are considered candy bars then I change my choice to that.

[Dynasty]

Polls with limited options like this are:

If you like Twix and feel compelled to tell everyone, why don't you just post Twix are yummy. Do you think they're yummy too? It wouldn't be an intelligent post. But, it would be a step-up from yet another dumbass poll.

BTW, if you make it to one of my home games, I'll be sure to have Twix. I always have a candy bowl for Tommy Angelo. I'm trying to give him diabetes.

Was Twix what George used in his candy bar challenge?

[swede123]

I'm partial to Daim myself, although all of Marabou's chocolate is pretty good. As far as American candy bars Twix is one of my favorites, although I like Symphony bars too.

[/ QUOTE ]

If I wanted to do that, that's what I would do. However, I simply wanted to know what people thought the best candy bar was, and felt like I could come up with a poll that was more concise than listing every candy bar made. In retrospect, I might have made it Twix/KitKat/Snickers/something else.

No it wouldn't. That post would be stupid. "I think Twix is yummy." What the hell kind of post is that? In this thread, we are having a sophisticated discussion regarding the best candy bar. You are delusional, Dynasty.

[Ulysses]

So far, all the answers have been reasonable except for Three Musketeers and Payday. There's no way either of those are the best candy bar.

Kit Kat and Snickers of course are solid contenders. Heath/Skor/Toblerone are great, but I think (this is hard to articulate well) you sort of have to be in the mood for them, whereas a Kit Kat or Twix pretty much always hits the spot. Reeses Cups I will allow. Twix Peanut Butter is a separate answer. Caramello, Symphony, and a few others mentioned are also quite good.

At this point, I think it is really down to Twix, Kit Kat, and Snickers.

OK, after about 5 seconds of thought, I'm still going with Snickers, but it's closer.

Snickers sucks though. Among candy bars like that it goes:

Milky Way



3 Muskuteers










Snickers

[banditbdl]

Butterfinger has to get a look here, although it does lose points for its ability to get stuck in my teeth like no other.

[stabn]

What about the new butter finger crisps? I agree though that kit kat and twix are both very solid.

[JMP300z]

Kit kats=Chobo

Twix=Gosu

3 Muskateers=the best.

butterfinger is an interesting bar. I don't like it as a stand alone bar but break the mofo up and put it in icecream and you have yourself one delightful treat.

[The Ocho]

I think it's important that the destinction be made between Kit Kat and Big Kat. Big Kat is clearly the better of the two.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups straight out of the fridge ar estill the best though.

[private joker]

I'm disappointed that this thread has gone on this long without providing the correct answer, which is:

http://www.oldtimecandy.com/images/candypix-pages/100-grand-bar_small.jpg

[razor]

Coffee Crisp

However, their availability is limited in the US.

[Phoenix1010]

Twix and 3 Muskies were always my favorites. Frozen Snickers beats everything mentioned so far, but has an unfair advantage. I think Almond Joy should get an honorable mention. Reese's and Kit Kat are disqualified because...

"I get the Reese's candy bar. If you read that name Reese's that's an apostrophe S. Reese's apostrophe S at the end of that name. That means the candy bar is his. I didn't know that. Next time you're eating a Reese's candy bar and a guy named Reese comes by and says 'let me have that', you better hand it over. 'I'm sorry, Reese. I didn't think I'd ever run into you.'"

"The Kit Kat candy bar has the name "Kit Kat" imprinted in the chocolate. That robs you of chocolate. Kit Kat has come up with a clever chocolate saving technique. I'm gonna go down to the Kit Kat factory, and say 'Hey, you owe me some letters.'"

Whatchamacallit...Oooooh yeah.

[/ QUOTE ]

Absolutely - definitely the most underrated candy bar. I like KitKat and Twix too, but Whatchamacallit has been my favorite since I was a kid.

[WEASEL45]

Butterfingers

[turnipmonster]

if original reese's cups are allowed I think they win easily. snickers is a distant 2nd. not the jumbo snickers either, because those have a f-ed up chocolate to nougat ratio.

100 Grand Bar. For obvious reasons.

[Zeno]

Milky Way with dark chocolate.

Heath are good. So is the classic Mr. Goodbar, except that they use low-grade peanuts.

Back in the Dark Ages when Zeno was a young lad we would get 'Mountian' candy bars. More like a lump of super creamy and sugar laced white filling covered with chocolate. I don't even know if they are still made. Great 'kid' candy bar.

-Zeno

[jesusarenque]

Daim. Then Heath.

[Sponger15SB]

When I saw this post I knew it was either going to be a poll with just 1 choice or 1 choice and then "other".

I rule

[Ulysses]

[ QUOTE ]
Butterfinger has to get a look here

[/ QUOTE ]

Absolutely. However, Butterfinger suffers from the same problem as Heath/Skor/etc. that I tried to describe above.

100 Grand bar was also mentioned. A solid contender, definitely.

One that doesn't qualify because it is no longer made is the Marathon bar. I believe the closest thing around now is Cadbury's Curly-Wurly. I'm also a big fan of the Cadbury's Dairy Milk, Fruit and Nut, etc., but that's starting to get away from what I really was going for in this thread. In fact, based on that, I disqualify Symphony from this thread, as it is a chocolate bar as opposed to a candy bar (arbitrary Diablo distinction). Toblerone gets the axe as well. Sorry.

I've also decided now that Reese's peanut butter cups do not qualify. Sorry. But if I let them in, then I need to start thinking about letting Rolo in. Rolo rules. And where does it stop? What about Whoppers? It's a slippery slope. Sorry, Reese's fans.

Oh, BTW, I love Cadbury Flake bars (also not qualified based on the clarified rules).

[citanul]

peanut butter cups are not a candy bar.

candy bar options are mood dependent for me, twix, kit kat, score, or watchamacallit.

watchamacallit i think spends the most time in first place for me.

[phage]

Any Marabou is great but Daim are wonderful...Used to look forward to packages from my grandmother for all that chocolate goodness...

[Soul Daddy]

Whatchamacallit...Oooooh yeah.

It's close, but this edges out Snickers.

[Mr_Oog]

100 Grand all the way.

Nods to Toblerone although it doesn't really fit into the Candy Bar motif IMHO.

Twix = Caramel on top of cookie covered with chocolate. sort of a semi-cylinder

KitKat = Crunchy cookie covered in chocolate. long rectangular block

[Schneids]

Here's how I would rate the candy bars:

Twix
Snickers
Salted Nut Roll
100 Grand Bar
Butterfinger
Baby Ruth
Caramello
Milky Way
Kit Kat
Three Musketeers
Hershey's Bar

No others immediately come to my head and I intentionally didn't include Toblerone or other "gourmet" snooty type bars.



Edit to include Caramello.

If you are looking for a candy/cookie product to put in ice cream the discussion pretty much ends with Butterfinger and Oreos as far as I'm concerned.

The twix cookie is a kinda short-bready cookie, a legitimate cookie. The kit-kat is more of a wafer cookie than a true cookie. These two candy bars are really not similar at all. They both rule, though.

If I could only have one candy bar for the rest of my life, I would probably choose Snickers.

Other candy bars I pick up when in need of a junk food fix include WhatChaMaCallIt, Milky Way Midnight, Kit Kats, and Peanut Butter Twix.

I would usually take a bag of good gummi bears/gummi savers over most chocolate however.
