Reese's peanut butter cup and three musketeers, but lately I am totally on-board the dark chocolate train. Mmmm.
 
I love:
SPONGE CANDY AND CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS AS #1 CHOICES
and then:
Zero bars
Mars bars
Heath bars
$100,000 bars
Dove milk chocolate
Reese's with white chocolate
and malted milk balls, chocolate covered almonds, chocolate covered nuts
 
My favorites are snickers, white chocolate reese cups, and 3 muskateer.
 
Oh, that's easy. 100 Grand.

Or Mounds.

Or Hershey special dark.

Hmmm, maybe not as easy as I thought!
 
My favorite chocolate bar was Chunky. I haven't seen them anywhere in years, so my current favorite is Reese's Cups.
 
My favorite candy bar is just about any that are pure dark chocolate. :D
Dove Dark Chocolate
Hershey Special Dark
Mounds (also like coconut)
Heath Bar

Mama - What is sponge candy?
 
Well - here's a recipe for Old Fashioned Sponge Candy

Old Fashioned Sponge Candy

1 C. sugar

1 C. corn syrup, dark

1 T. vinegar

1 T. soda

Combine sugar, syrup, and vinegar in heavy sauce pan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves.

Then cook to 300° F. or crack stage. Remove from heat, stir soda in quickly, mixing up. (it will become frothy**) Pour into buttered pan. Cool and break into pieces.

**be careful - if your pan is too small it will overflow!



After the candy is cool it is cut into various "cube" shapes and dipped in milk chocolate, orange milk chocolate and dark chocolate. I absolutely love milk chocolate.

But sponge candy is a seasonal candy - it is never found in the warm months because it does not hold up well in the heat. From Christmas through Easter it is very popular here and after Easter it usually goes on sale so that the candy shops can get rid of it. It's one of those candies that is best made when there is no humidity, etc.


The "sponge" candy resembles the coarseness and texture of a sponge.

It is the best candy ever!
 
I also love dark chocolate with orange jelly inside. When I was a kid we would go to the mall shopping and always stopped off at Russell Stovers for a few chocolate orange jellies.
 
I love any good-quality dark chocolate. The good thing about that is, you can have a bite or two and that's just as satisfying as a big Hershey bar.
 
Milky Way. I could eat enough to make myself sick and not mind too much.
 
Hey Dr Pepper!
Frozen Reese's Cups sound good to me! I also like PayDay bars from the refigerator. I had them that way at the community pool as a kid, and have continued eating them that way ever since.
 
I love to freeze Zero bars - that is the only way to eat them! And I like to freeze the tiny Snickers, MilkyWay and 3 Musketeers too.
 
y'all, I thought I loved chocolate bars as is, but I had a DEEP-FRIED MILKY WAY the other day and it was amaaaaaazing (wrapped in funnel cake and fried). A lot goes a long way, though.
 
Skittles. Oh wait, that's not a candy bar! I guess I'll have to go with the Fast Break. Deep fried milky way? Man, that must've been nice.
 
Ok now that deep fried milky way sounds good because I love funnel cakes and I love milky way. I had never heard of that before. I wonder if anyone here sells that.
 
Must we choose only one? ACK :) I love anything Cadbury. Probably their pure milk chocolate bar. If I can't find those and can find their Flake bars (that was my way of sneaking in two choices :)) I'll choose that.

The Cadbury chocolate made in England is far better than the Canadian-made Cadbury. So I usually order online from the Brit Superstore. The prices aren't bad but the shipping renders it a once per year only treat...of a few boxes. Ahem. :)
