Reese's

was always my favorite with Junior Mints second. Snickers Peanut Butter has swooped in and taken the top spot.

No, it definitely did not need that. But thanks for stepping in and doing it anyway, and then having no sense of humor about it.

I generally like your posts, pj. This seems a little out of character.



I was going to say the same thing to you. Bad day? Salty about another Giants loss? All understandable.


There seem to be a lot of people on this board having bad Mondays lately. All good.
Gotta go with...

Best: Goobers

Worst: Lots out there -- but for symmetry I'm going with ... Raisinets

Best: Why not just go with the conventional Peanut M&M's you ask ? -- because I don't give a s___ if it melts in my hand -- I work the punch-out hole on the side of the Goobers box.

Worst: How can you say Raisinets are worst if they're so close to being a Goober ? Precisely. As soon as you realize it's a Raisinet you are devastated.
What about the people who didnt even give out candy?

We had a guy at the end of my street who would give us pennies and "magic walnuts". Thats a walnut-in the shell-with googily eyes glued on it. I have no idea why he did it or why we went back year after year. I used to think about him gluing eyes on dozens of walnuts and feel really sad. I think I had a strange childhood...

But the best are Reese's Pieces and thats a quantifiable fact.

Yeah, those are certainly on the Mount Rushmore of worst.
I actually like Candy Corn...

Do you like to eat ear wax too? Liking candy corn almost disqualifies you for being human. Almost.

apples still aren't candy no matter how you interpret the criteria.

And black licorice, my guess is almost anyone who has that as their response never received black licorice trick or treating or at a Halloween party.

And circus peanuts too, pretty sure those little Styrofoam peanut shaped creamsicle colored mashmallows(?) never saw the inside of a trick or treating bag either.


I got circus peanuts in my trick or treat bag as a kid.

I always thought I despised malt because of how terrible Whoppers are. My wife recently ordered a malted chocolate shake and after recoiling in protest, I finally relented to a sip. It was a delicious!

Not only are Whoppers terrible, but they make you think malt is terrible.

Yep, I think 100 Grand and Baby Ruths are totally underrated.

Also have always really liked Milky Way Dark.

What's truly offensive about those is that they resemble ordinary salt water taffy, which is awesome. They're a candy Trojan Horse.

Just picked up some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Snickers  
Grey Pilgrim : 10/14/2020 2:16 pm : link
for the kids. (not that I'm expecting many trick or treaters)

Reese's mini peanut butter cups in the 3 "chocolates" variety  
BlueLou'sBack : 10/14/2020 5:06 pm : link
assortment - milk, dark and white - each foiled in different colored wrappers are the best.

The worst? Too may to consider.

From a bygone era, but still great, are 3 Musketeers bars.

Nothing but 2 types of chocolate; what can go wrong (aside from heat)?
Are Clark Bars still a thing?  
BamaBlue : 10/14/2020 5:28 pm : link
I loved them as a kid, but can't find them. Butterfinger's are similar, but not the same.

Worst is the Mary Jane bar. It is akin to eating plasticized peanuts that stick to your teeth and coat your intestines...
Reese’s peanut butter cups are the best  
LBH15 : 10/15/2020 4:31 pm : link
And seriously, if you said candy corn then you are weird.

I guess I'm weird then...I'm a fan.
Not saying they're the best...  
Grey Pilgrim : 10/16/2020 1:34 pm : link
but they're not terrible imo.
Best:  
bigbluehoya : 10/16/2020 1:44 pm : link
Snickers, Reese's PB Cups (minis or regular - all good), Reese's Pieces, Peanut M&Ms, Peanut Butter M&Ms.

Worst: Smarties, Sprees, Milk Duds, Tootsie Rolls (or Tootsie Roll pops)
I think more than any other candy  
santacruzom : 10/20/2020 2:42 pm : link
Candy corn is super susceptible to age. If you happen to get a fresh pack it can be pretty good. But its half life is about 10 minutes.
Show-all, ctrl + F...  
Drewcon40 : 10/20/2020 2:44 pm : link
...type "Reese"..hit enter.

Yep they are there.
who  
Producer : 10/20/2020 2:47 pm : link
remembers these?

wonder if I say  
section125 : 10/20/2020 3:37 pm : link
the same thing each year.

Best - Baby Ruth

Worst - Indian Corn...
