NFT: Worst candy bar? With Halloween coming up....

I Love Clams Casino : 10/20/2017 7:48 am
what candy bar would you NOT steal from your kids bag(without them noticing, of course)?

For me it's 3 Musketeers - blech!

Almond Joy

Candy Corn if we are doing overall candy

candy corn is the worst halloween candy ever. Tootsie rolls are probably second on the list.
Mars Bar. Good luck finding one.

My favorite was the REGGIE BAR.
Candy Corn...  
BamaBlue : 10/20/2017 8:04 am : link
is a 'gateway candy' for little kids. It acts like kiddie crack for the under 6 demographic. They get sugared-up and act like crazed Munchkins. After the Candy Corn phase the kids graduate to the hard-stuff... Three Musketeers, Snickers, Nestle Crunch, etc.
100 grand

Best are

The first one was some sort of hard plastic peanut butter I think, and the second ones were what you'd get if you crossed gummy bears with superglue.

This I know painfully well because I had a Irish ex-pat who worked for me that was basically addicted to them - you can still get Mars bars on Amazon directly from the UK, but the Snickers Almond Bar is supposed to be the direct replacement for it in this market.

i'll just add that at this point, half these candies just end up pulling fake teeth out of my mouth so its not worth it. I might grab a twix or two.

here on BBI, the Zagnut is a far superior candy bar, to many of the standard favorites. Just keep those disgusting Peppermint Patties away from me.

MMMmmmmm Zagnut, coconut coated peanut brittle,....

Haha! This. But we were a bit more unforgiving. We typically overthrew the yard and splattered that apple right upside the house. Good times.

NBGblue : 10/20/2017 10:41 am : link
with the Heath Bar. Always hard as a rock.

But for overall worst, I think "Smarties" or maybe Necco Wafers. I'd rather eat Rolaids.

EricJ : 10/20/2017 11:18 am : link
I was in high school and no doubt a bit too old to be out collecting candy on halloween. A few friends and I ring the bell at a house where a woman in her 60s lived. She apparently forgot it was Halloween. I said.. well let's see what you have in the fridge and walked in. Found a new box of Entennman's chocolate frosted donuts. Said this would work...took the box and walked out. I still feel bad about it but getting 8 choc donuts was definitely the highlight of that day.
as soon as I tried a candy bar made in the UK

And no matter how awful the candy, it will ALWAYS disappear from the break room. The office is the endless pit where anything and everything you may not want will always find a home (or a stomach).

heath bar or almond joy. I'm good with the almonds... coconuts in my candy, not so much.

Snickers, reese's, twix, hershey bars (milk chocolate or almond) are the best though.

Coconut in a chocolate bar is like pineapple on a pizza. A Crime against Tastiness.
