I'm on a Reeses Pieces kick right now. Absolutely addicted to them.

I also had one of those Take 5 bars a couple weeks ago and have to admit it was pretty incredible. But I couldn't find one at the store the other day, and well that made me really sad.

I have an intense love for these things:

which are extremly difficult to find in the US.

there's an australian candy bar called violet crumble which is about the same thing. I've never found a widly avaliable american equivalent.

One of my cats is named Kit Cat.


That said, my favorite candy is a tie between Skittles and Starburst.

My favorite chocolate bar is a tie between Crunchie and Crispy Crunch.

that is what put the hole in my molars. i'd buy 10 at $20, and my co-workers would get mad at me for spending that much money on candy.

You, my friend, are sick. But not as sick as these.

They make me want to vomit. And that's if I only think of them. Eating a Reese Bite, I go Karen Carpenter.

Those Take Five bars are nasty. I like my pretzels plain, with salt.

This is the best candy bar ever.

Kit Kats are only good if the wafers are crisp; if it's gone soggy it's like eating chocolate covered corrugated cardboard.

I'm on a Reese's Fast Break (chocolate, peanut butter, nougat) kick at the moment because this week they're in the snack machine at work and I already ate the last packet of two Ice Cream Sundae Pop Tarts (microwaved for 10 seconds).

Candy Bar Cross Section Quiz

Beware, I think some of these are Canadian.

I've never heard of a Coffee Crisp, but now I want one.

Joking about hearing of Coffee Crisp, or joking about wanting one?

I've absolutely never heard of or saw a Coffee Crisp in all of my time in the greater New York area or in L.A. Which automatically makes it Canadian to me.

How do you like your coffee? Crisp!


That said, I checked out the quiz and assumed it was American. I've never heard of most of those. Mounds? Caramello? Nut Roll?

This is not fair. My migraine medicine makes chocolate just not taste anywhere near as good as it used to (and it turns out that chocolate may even be a migraine trigger, dammitalltofrigginhell!) and now I had to go and read about all these goddamned delicious candy friggin' bars that I want to eat, but won't taste anywhere near as good as they should.

Used to get Take 5's a lot, and the peanut butter Twix's. And I'm known to go on a good Mr. Goodbar craving every once in a while - those are awesome in the right mood. So simple, so perfect, and seemingly so hard to find lately. What, kids are too good for peanuts and chocolate? That's too simple for the kids today?

if ever a candy bar lived up to the premise of "It's like there's a party in my mouth...and everyone's invited", it's this:

for those who can't read the fine print:

"smooth textured chocolate flavoured centre with crunchy biscuit pieces surrounded in caramel all covered in Cadbury Dairy Milk milk chocolate."

This makes me nauseous...so I thought I'd share :)

From Wikipedia: A deep-fried Mars bar consists of an ordinary Mars bar dipped in the batter usually used for preparing fish. This is then fried in the same deep fat fryer as the chip shop's usual fare (including fish, chips, black and white pudding, sausage, and often haggis). If the Mars bar gets too hot it will melt, contaminating. For this reason the Mars bar is typically chilled before use, though a cold Mars bar can fracture when heated.

Many (perhaps the majority of) Scottish chip shops still fry in beef dripping; this lends the exterior of the battered bar something of a beefy flavour.

Nauseous? Try: it makes your mouth water, in all the right hydrating ways.
