My children love this. Every ice cream cone in Scotland  they ordered Flake as an option on the soft serve.

This is accurate. I may have full blown diabetes after the amount of them I consumed this past weekend pheasant hunting.

All time favorite is the chocolate and almond bits coated toffee from Wiseman's House in Hico.

Every Christmas, Valentine's, and Easter I look forward to the Butterfinger bells, hearts, and eggs. This year, I checked everywhere, including online, and they were nowhere to be found.

In what can only be described as a national tragedy and crime against humanity, Butterfinger has discontinued all of them:

 

Instead, they just put the "minis" in different-colored packaging. Disgusting.

Didn’t butterfinger change hands recently? Like from Nestle to that…. Ferraro pan or whatever company. I don’t eat candy bars frequently but remembered noticing that in the Halloween Candy.

 

speaking of that candy company - my number one

Atomic firebombs, that’s probably a years worth. Keeps me awake during drives or meetings. Spicy, long lasting, stick a handful in my backpack for a plane ride. My jam. Those little gin gin homies are great too.

I love those fireballs. I haven’t seen them in years. I wasn’t sure they were even still around. Can’t say I’ve looked for them, but I buy the occasional chocolate bar and I see the seasonal candy displays on the shelves. It’s probably been over 20 years since I had one. 

You'll see them (and jaw breakers, which are now called something slightly different) sometimes in the bulk section of your grocery store or at a candy shop. I buy the 5lb bag from Amazon. Like I said - for me I never eat something like nerds, smarties, etc where it's just ingesting candy. If I'm in europe for some reason I'll go hard on the haribo. But I like a hard candy that will keep me low level occupied for a minute and maybe gives me a bit of a pick me up. I had forgotten about atomic fireballs too, but wound up going down an old person candy path (lemon drops, root beer barrels, cinnamon drops) and then found some jawbreakers and then remembered about fireballs. They are still spicy AF.

I mentioned Gin Gins - any variant of these ginger candies (Gin Gins, Gem Gems, Chimes, Reed's Ginger Chews) are great

don't chew them though unless you like getting that shit stuck all up in your teeth. I feel like these are good as an appetite suppressant too - one of them lasts a while and they're probably not crazy calorically on a small scale.

Reese's eggs taste better than the cups. I don't know how or why, it just is. 

1) Sour Patch Kids 

2) Sour Skittles 

3) Gummy bears 

4) Reese's eggs

5) Twix 

Honorable mention : Tropical Skittles. Regular Skittles can GTFO. 

Bought a bag of these at HEB on Saturday and they are fantastic. Will try other flavors now.

I love these... when I was coaching football, I would pop one in my mouth at the start of each game. By the end of the season (and playoffs), I'd managed to develop an ulcer on the inside of my cheek.

The correct answer is pretzel m&ms, followed by peanut m&ms, followed by peanut butter m&ms, then regular ones. 

Went to Wal-Mart (gasp!) earlier today and was surprised they had a good amount of Reeses pb eggs still in stock, needless to say I snagged a couple of packs for the freezer.

Yup. Don't worry, I contacted Ferrero and Butterfinger to express my displeasure. (They did it to "keep our products interesting and create innovative flavors.") That's why the only seasonal Butterfinger products available are Butterfinger minis with colorful packaging...

Yeah, got a nice stash of the eggs for 50% off today.

I completely separate chocolate/peanut butter treats from “candy” in my mind, if am jonesing for M&Ms I don’t even look at gummy bears and vice versa. 
 

@Helobious is close with his rankings, its pretzel, peanut butter, almond, peanut, plain M&M in the rankings. Reese’s pieces and Reese’s eggs belong with the peanut butter M&Ms, hard to rank those all properly. 

The peanut m&m is the undisputed champion of the world. All other flavors are posers or never weres. Just another brand extension that if they convince everyone to buy a bag to try they score a huge win. Like weird lays flavors.

I tried the Caramel Cold Brew M&Ms this weekend. Not bad…coffee flavor is pretty subtle but adds up when you eat the bag in 2 minutes. So I hear, anyways.

Just ate a handful. Can confirm. Best variety of M&M

I’m a Hot Tamale’s man. Bummed when I saw on the news last week that the dye used in them and colored (non yellow) Peeps causes cancer. I mean what doesn’t? But being called out by name means I’ll be looking for an alternative.

This is some damn good stuff right here......Around $12 at HEB...when it is open of course.

Check your flagship Spec’s locations for regional and ole timey candies.

I picked up some grape Big League Chew today. You name it from your childhood and they had it.

They even had Abba Zaba bars which I didn’t know existed outside of Half Baked. 

I'm a simpleton.

 

Hershey Bar with Almonds

Twix

Hershey Bar Special Dark Chocolate

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Hershey's Krackle

Hershey's with almonds is acceptable and their special dark is pretty good. The regular is almost inedible after having good chocolate though.

Hersheys chocolate is a comfort taste for me not unlike cheese enchiladas and my mom’s meatloaf. I’ve had all kinds of fancy ass chocolate but standard hersheys is a benchmark.

My current list

Pay Day
Snickers
Take 5
M&M peanut
Butterfinger
