My favorite Halloween candy: Reeces, Snickers, Left Twixs...

[brush]

anything chocolate really. And I hate there are no longer black dots in a box of Dots.

Anyone else?

[sakabatou]

1. Reeces, Snickers, Butterfingers, sour stuff, Milky Way and others

Left Twixs? Is there really a difference?

[leftieNanner]

7. OMG!

Don't let Right Twix hear you say that!!

[brush]

11. Of course there's a difference in Left and Right Twix (wink)

I agee on Butterfingers. I love those too.

[jmowreader]

12. I bought a "theater box" of Twix once

It had Left Twix and Right Twix in it. The only difference is the label.

[brush]

20. Bite your tongue immediately. This is DU. It's gotta be "left" Twix.

[Progressive Jones]

30. When it comes to Twix, bothsiderism is acceptable. nt

[Wingus Dingus]

2. Little boxes of Milk Duds.

My teeth can't do those anymore, however. Aside from that, Reese's cups are the gold standard of halloween candy.

[Archae]

3. This should be in the Lounge.

[brush]

4. Couldn't find a candy or Halloween category.

[zuul]

5. . . .

[Archae]

6. I have to say chocolate.

Milky Ways, 3 Musketeers, etc.

[hlthe2b]

8. Definitely Reeses, Snickers, Peanut M&Ms, Butterfingers (if fresh) and yeah anything chocolate

I buy Starburst, Skittles, Sweet Tarts, Gummy Bears, and the like-- because I personally WON'T be tempted to eat them. Important since I haven't had hardly anyone come by the past several years so odds are I'll have most of it leftover.

[a kennedy]

42. Oh peanut butter M & M's are way better then the peanut M & M's......

JMHO of course.

[hlthe2b]

44. Oh, yeah... Those or Reese's pieces.

yummmmmmmm!

[USALiberal]

9. Lounge??

[patphil]

10. Colkegan on the rocks...a true "man's candy".

[jmowreader]

13. I prefer chocolate anything

However…when my parents lived in St. Maries, ID, Dad always bought the fun size Sugar Daddy suckers. They lived on a street the trick or treaters didn’t go up so the only two trick or treaters he ever got were his two granddaughters…therefore, since he was going to have to eat the whole bag he got what he liked.

[Walleye]

14. Oh I remember Sugar Daddy I have several cavities from them

[Walleye]

15. Heath bars

[sakabatou]

16. Those are good, especially when cold.

[EYESORE 9001]

21. Heath bars aren't the same

as they were in my younger days. They’re still good, but definitely not the same as I remember.

[Walleye]

23. Agree. Maybe they used real sugar instead of corn syrup

They ruined the taste of Coca-Cola that way

[Klaralven]

17. Dark chocolate KIT KAT

[brush]

18. Ok, ok. I'm woke. I'm woke.

[Walleye]

19. Does anybody remember the candy bar forever yours? Kind of vanilla and dark chocolate Milky Way

[Nevilledog]

22. Smarties

[Shermann]

24. JUST candy corn

Handfuls and handfuls of sweet, sweet candy corn!

[ProfessorGAC]

25. Psssst!

I know I'm not supposed to tell you this, but left Twix & right Twix are the same. Everything you've heard is just marketing!

Big Twix fan here! Plus, Milky Way, Snickers, Reese's, & Baby Ruth.
Oh, & the $100,000 bar!

[brush]

26. In keeping with the spirit of Left twix fans everywhere...

I say "pshaw". I do like Baby Ruths though.

[Demovictory9]

27. candy corn

[Raine]

28. Candy Corn and Reese's are my two favorites. 😁 nt

[Progressive Jones]

29. We are soul mates, especially on that Dots situation. nt

[brush]

31. It's outrageous. The black ones were my reason to buy them.

Although I still do when I see them in those bins leading to the cashier in pharmacy stores.

[Progressive Jones]

33. As a kid, I hit all the other kids up for their Black Dots. Nobody else liked them.

The same went for the black piece in a pack of Chuckles, and black jelly beans.

[electric_blue68]

32. Back in the day...

Even as a kid I found I liked Dark Choc better - thus Hershey's Special Dark. Also liked their ?Crackle w rice crispies, the ?good bar one with peanuts. Kisses.

Non Pareils.

M&Ms.


I love Reese's but they weren't around yet.
Still not a big fan of caramel, though I liked some Cracker Jack's. Did they ever mix CJs and while peanuts together? 🤔

[brush]

34. Non Parells were great...those were the different flavored wafers...

wrapped in a paper tube, right?

Did you ever get a chance to taste the dark chocolate Snickers that were out four or five years ago?

Sublime.

But they discontinued them. I was crushed.

[Celerity]

35. Pumpkin Patch Cakes, Wine Gums, Flake

[brush]

36. Celerity, are those UK favorites?

[Celerity]

37. Yes, British, but we can get them here in Sweden too, just have to search a bit.

There are a tonne of great Swedish candies as well.

Most every Swedish supermarket has a giant wall of lösgodis (loose candy)

[brush]

38. Whoa! That's a full array all right.

[PlanetBev]

39. That's it....I'm moving to Sweden

Not only for that array of candy, but to get away from all the Fascist Trumpers here.

[Celerity]

41. Super kaffe too. The top kaffe places are absolutely world class.

And very few RW gits, at least not the US-style, out in the open, in your face types.

I love it here, somewhat to my surprise. After one year I was so homesick for London, but the 2nd year was better, and my wife is also content for now. It deffo is not for everyone, but if you approach Sweden on its own terms, the rewards can be great indeed. The stress levels are crazy low, and there are tonnes of cultural events, etc.

[brush]

43. What made you move there? Is the safety net better than in Britain?

Forgive me for switching topics but the different European countries fascinate me. Also when I ask if those were UK sweets, you said no, British. It that a preference over UK?

[Celerity]

45. I am half Swedish, half Bajan, wife is full Swedish, but we both were raised in London.

We came here for my post grad and her work, plus wanted to live outside of London some more and going back to the US was never on the menu. Especially for my wife, she doesn't like the US much at all other than to play tourist. 2 years there (whilst I read for my MBA) was enough for her.

Not sure where we move to next. Have a few acceptable places, but one (Hong Kong) is rapidly fading away due to the Chinese crackdown. For now we stay in Stockholm and just travel when it all becomes a bit too 'close' and our wanderlust kicks in. Covid has affected this, obviously, but it is slowly opening up, faster in some areas.

[PlanetBev]

40. Payday, Almond Joy and Mounds

And Butterfinger and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
