Favorite Candy - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

I like Riesens, the dark chocolate hard caramels.
I also like Whoppers, especially when they sell them in a milk carton. Because they're malted milk balls, you see. Chalk-a-licious!
Old school Baby Ruths are probably slept upon these days.

My personal candy drawer of stuff I don't share with the kids:

Basically everything that's sour, preferably Haribo, and licorice, preferably strong and salty.

Nitpick: "Riesen" is already the plural.

Werther's aren't bad, a werthy candy if you will, but I'm more about the Riesen d'etre.

Twix has a good cookies and creme. The salted caramel twix is solid also.

Can't forget Reese's cups as well. I love their holiday shaped items: hearts, pumpkins, easter eggs....

Damn I waited a day to post and you beat me too it.

Well, my computer turn open screen shows random crap and today it was the Matterhorn mountain. The Matterhorn is on the cover of a yummy candy cover of Toblerone bar so I'll post that as my honorable mention.

Funny thing, I went to get groceries this morning right after I read this, and waiting to check out I was looking for the Skor but couldn't find, but the Heath was only 98 cents which is a steal these days, cheaper than most. Bought it, eating it right now, delicious.

My mom (still kicking) used to make an angel food cake with a coffee/mocha frosting and crushed Heath bars over the top. It was sooooooooooo good.

Damn, I must find that recipe.

Isn't that supposed to change when they start manufacturing outside Switzerland? No idea if that happened yet.

Yes, apparently the Swiss care as much about their chocolate as they do about their watches. I'm not sure if it has happened yet, but once the manufacturing moves to another country, the Swiss Matterhorn symbol must go.

When I was a kid someone told me there was a bear hidden in the Matterhorn symbol on Toblerone. I still haven't found that damn bear.

EDIT oh snap, I just found the bear, I'm out on phone but will circle it later if someone doesn't get to it by then.

Similar to "made in Germany", I think the Swiss chamber of commerce says that items that are associated with being manufactured in Switzerland can be sold at a 20% higher price.

As irrational as it sounds, if I go to the World Market to buy stuff from the German section I always check where it's manufactured. I'm very sure the Haribo made in Turkey are exactly the same as the ones made in Germany but I never buy them.
