America's Favorite Candy

[fezfez]

Tuesday, we heard that America's favorite candy is M&Ms. I love them, but are they your favorite?

[ToiletCrusher]

We should convene a study to find out not how many packages but rather how any individual m&m's have been consumed.

[realmenhatelife]

My first instinct was definately Snickers too, but M&M isn't unbelievable.

I'm a malo cup or twix guy.

[GreatAmericanZero]

i dont think anything touches a PB Cup. I am a bigger fan of the chocolate candy than the fruity/sugary candy, but on that side of the spectrum i have to admit that i am a fan of the mixture between gummy and sour

[sailor]

reesey cup. followed by hershey bar with almonds.

[Russel P]

Reesey Cup.

[GreatAmericanZero]

the only reason why a reese's cup didnt win has gotta be b/c of how many people are allergic to peanuts

if peanut allergy didn't exist, the reese's cup has to be number 1

[drusilla]

i love m&m's. plain, peanut, or peanut butter. all delicious.

plain m&m's are my topping of choice for soft serve too.

[ANC]

I got a plain M&M addiction. They're my favorite.

Other greats: Take 5, 5th Avenue, Peanut Butter Twix, Reeses PB Cups.

Cadbury Flake is amazing... Have you had the Cadbury Twirl? They're the Cadbury Flake covered in more chocolate.

Kit Kats...especially out of the freezer.

the twirl is great, too, but i'm OG.

perhaps the greatest treat, the "99" (a flake jammed in a soft-serve cone):

why this never caught on in the US is a mystery to me.

[Small..Balls]

I'm a dark chocolate fan, so any PLAIN bar is good.

Nuts in chocolate = revolting.

I'm also a big fan of Malted Balls.

Go ahead...make your jokes.

Your incredible lack of taste in all things food related is no joking matter.
It's sad really.

[A.J.]

It's more of a mood thing for me. Sometimes I'll crave M&Ms, sometimes Reese's PB cups, sometimes a Kit Kat and sometimes these:

[Gvac]

I must say that I do not consider peanuts to be nuts.

They are delicious.

Almonds, walnuts, etc...YUCK.

Once in awhile I do enjoy a good Chunky.

FTW. My wifes relatives always bring over loads of flake 99's, Twirls, and the Cadbury Heroes chocolates over from the UK.

[Jujubees2]

plain m&m's are my topping of choice for soft serve too.

How about the new coconut M&Ms? Saw them at 7-11 the other day.

Today, 05:25 AM

Tuesday, we heard that America's favorite candy is M&Ms. I love them, but are they your favorite?

5:25 a.m.?

Sometimes I'd watch my kids when they were sleeping, and see them smiling. I used to tell my ex that "they must be dreaming about candy", because they'd have this contented, smiling, "mmmmmm" face, and I wondered if they'd wake up thinking about candy the next morning.

I guess some kids never grow up. :smile:

Love Plain and Peanut M&M's. They are my candy of choice followed by Kit Kat, Resses and Skittles.

[Stankfoot]

[Dude!]

Snickers !!
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups !!

and at Easter...
Cadbury Mini Eggs !!

[Gvac]

http://i14.photobucket.com/albums/a350/stankfoot/dots.jpg

If I'm going for gummy, stick-to-your-teeth goodness and not chocolate I opt for Mike & Ike's.

there is no one over 6 that the peanut is their favorite nut. you are not a real person.

[JustJon]

I must say that I do not consider peanuts to be nuts.

They're not, they're legumes.

And I'm down for a good ol' Reese's Peanut Butter Cup

[Serpico1103]

Tuesday, we heard that America's favorite candy is M&Ms. I love them, but are they your favorite?

I don't trust that answer. Do they include all M&M's or just plain?

I would go with a Snickers. M&M's are good when you are worried about melting, but otherwise a snickers is the best.

[SatCam]

If you have a peanut allergy im sure it's not safe to eat m&ms either

[lleeder]

this thread would be way better with a poll

[truck]

The Elvis Reeses Cups with banana creme were fantastic.

[jennysmurf]

These are amazing, and no matter what kind of candy I was craving when I went into the store, I come out with this....

http://tbn1.google.com/images?q=tbn:5Nm1cG0TJA8ZtM:http://www.candy.org/cleanimages/candybars/milkywaymidnight.jpg

P.S. I also agree with the goodness of the Cadbury Twirl.

[Bob Impact]

Motherfuckin' Heath bars. God damn I love em.

[Coach_Mac]

The true test is, if you're driving down the road with someone you dont know well (and thus, don't know their taste) and you stop at a gas station and they ask you to get them some candy, what are you bringing them? I say Snickers. Even if it's not your favorite, I see it as America's candy.

[biggirl]

I would play it safe and go for a Hershey's bar.

jelly beans
i have to say, starburst makes a fine jelly bean

yeah, i'd get that or m&m's. snickers has too many parts that could be something they just don't like.

[Dude!]

omg
each "part" is wonderful
how could you go wrong?

i eat it part by part
first the chocolate off the sides and top
then the peanut/caramel layer
and then the best for last...

the nougat all by itself
(actually, with the bottom
chocolate to hold it in place)
yum

[Sharadoc]

the twirl is great, too, but i'm OG.

Thanks for that! I had my "first" in Hyde Park and loved it so much, I went to Woolworth's and shipped home two boxes of 48 Flakes. Kept them in the freezer. Ate them for years until we got SO tired of them that we didn't touch another one until last year at Disney World - they sell them in Epcot in the England shop. Didn't taste as good, but it was probably stale.

Remember when Mooch tried to tell Ron that English candy was better?

Favorite American is the classic Hershey Bar, followed closely by a 3 Musketeers.

[Sudsy Mug Saloon]

Snickers wins for me, regular and frozen are perfect....Twix next, they need a 2 pack that has one caramel and one peanut...yum

[joecanada]

http://candyaddict.com/blog/candy_images/skor_bar.jpg
nothing like toffey and chocolate

[OGC]

Since no one is saying that I'd have to limit myself to one type of M&M, I will choose them. (I'll have to look for the coconut ones!)

Reeses Cups and Snickers might also be at the top of my list depending on my mood. Especially if the Snickers is chilled (not frozen solid)

[shortchaz]

you beat me to the punch with this one, these little fuckers are amazing. im generally a cold chocolate guy, but these might be the first ones i prefer warm/room temp. ive had them frozen with some vanilla ice cream, and it was great, but they are at there best, on there own, at room temp. taste like a mini mounds.

best candy bar ever

[Scott from the Future]

Definitely one of those fundraiser chocolate bars with the caramel inside each square. Holy crap, so good.

[metaregina]

Peanut Chews are my absolute favorite.

http://www.comixconnection.com/uploaded_images/darkchew-ets-lg-761912.jpg

[Aqualad]

I like the "fruit" candies- Skittles, Twizzlers, Jujubes. If you're going to go chocolate bar, they all suck compared to the Take Five.

[King Hippos Bandaid]

too many awesome candies out there


I would have to make graphs and categorize before even getting close to a favorite


this could take weeks or months

a short answer would be a Reesey Cup, but that would insult Dark Chocolate and Sweedish Fish, too much work involved


M&Ms are good, they dont suck, but favorite, I think not

[Dell]

my favorite
http://eatsblog.guidelive.com/Pop%20Drops%20Pouch.JPG

but I can only find them at Cracker Barrel... must not be America's favorite...

Those Cadbury eggs always looked great to me on TV, in real life disgusting

[biggirl]

I don't remember, but I do remember going to my dad's work after school and the all the really fat ladies in accounting buying all of them! Jackpot! I got to go to DC that year for a band trip all because of those nice ladies.

[chaza]

agree, just thinking about the sticky sweet filling makes me want to barf.

The minieggs are completely different from the creme eggs. They are candy coated chocolate and are very delicious.

You really can't believe that?

Why would candy made by those can't-pick-a-side pseudo Germans be America's favorite candy?

It's four bars in one...

You don't think American's like Toblerone? At least as much or more than they like a Nutrageous?
