Favorite Candy Bars

As most people know I have a bit of a sweet tooth. I have been a big candy fan ever since I can remember. Although I go through cycles with what candy bars I consume there are a few that I go back to time and time again when I am looking for a sugar high.

1. The Whatchamacallit

The Whatchamacallit is in many ways the end all bar of the Hamborgler candy dynasty. I would say that at least 20% of my total girth can be directly attributed to this exquisite product from Hershey's


2.  The Take 5

Although a relative newcomer to the scene this bar has quickly risen up the ranks to the upper echelon of Hamborgler treats. It also makes for a great McFlurry at McDonald's (the only McFlurry worth getting in my opinion).

3. the 100 Grand
Once in high school my mock trial coach told me she would give me "one hundred thousand dollars" if I scored well in a trial. After we won the trial and I found out I had received two 10s (the highest possible score) she told me she was only going to give me a "one hundred thousand dollar bar." First of all, if she was going to use trickery she should have said the name of the bar. I was never really expecting her to give me that kind of money in cash. I did get pissed at her when she didn't even give me the candy bar. She sucked.


4. the Toblerone
The Toblerone is a bar I only treat myself to when I am feeling especially fancy. Although it is Swiss it is far from neutral to my taste buds (insert rim shot here). 

5. The Caramello
Although usually I require a certain amount of crunch in my candy bars I find the Caramello a great change of pace. As a Cadbury product the chocolate is easily superior to most other bars in the check out aisle and the smooth caramel makes you feel like you can take on anything the day can throw at you.

  1. I can certainly appreciate this list as I too am a fan of the Watchamacallit. Nonetheless, the glaring omission of Hershey's Cookies 'n' Creme makes me call your taste buds into question.

  2. I actually thought long and hard about adding the cookies and creme bar... all in all I am a little upset for the omission but I think it is probably number 6 and I only did a top 5. an expanded list would also include the Zero bar and the Milky way
