I don't eat them much anymore,
 
But is "Oh Henry" still the best bar ever made?

billybek 12-02-2019 08:35 AM

I like the minis from Halloween.

More a Payday man myself.

I've almost totally given up on those kinds of things. After some time they're not all that inviting.

flatbutt 12-02-2019 09:07 AM

Every now and then I just gotta have a Snickers bar. Not often, maybe 2 or 3 a year. I also have a soft spot for Chunky.

As a 16 to 20 year old I ate a lot of candy bars. I guess I switched to preferring salty greasy things like pizza, Doritos or nuts that goes with beer as my tastes changed. I have not had a regular candy bar in many decades. I will eat a "fun size" candy bar on occasions that someone has them on a counter or at Halloween time when they are everywhere.

I used to tease my old boss. The stereotype of the boss with a bottle of good Bourbon in his desk was not his thing. He had a big bag of M&M peanuts in his lower desk drawer.

Eating a Snickers (which must be frozen first) is a three-part process:
1) Outside chocolate coating nibbled carefully
2) Nugget disassembled with machine process down the line
3) Peanut/caramel eaten gradually, savoring every bite

I used to eat a frozen snickers every day. We had a liquid nitrogen in the lab and we would stick Snicker bars on forks and freeze then in a few seconds.
It’s easier list the candy bars I don’t like.

Done.

Nothing personal, but if an adult man “nibbles” on a snickers bar like that near me, I will get up and leave.
Just reading about it, irritated me.

Sorry john, again, nothing personal, you just described one of my biggest pet peeves.

red-beard 12-02-2019 10:43 AM

When money is no concern, you gotta go Belgium chocolate! or Swiss!

Nothing personal taken friend. Just my OCD procedure.
Haven't had one in many years actually.
(and I would agree with that public part. Don't want to look at that either.)

However if you are on a long and tiring drive, consider grazing slowly on an apple to stay awake over a few more hours.
It seems to work just as well as coffee.

As the decades pass, and the medical issues come along, one finds that there are many things one used to do.

Candy bars are among those many things.

asphaltgambler 12-02-2019 11:40 AM

Mounds is the go to for cheap dark chocolate. But more pricey ( grown up ) dark chocolate can be had - I love it!

stevej37 12-02-2019 11:48 AM

Heath Bar....or nothing.

Baz 12-02-2019 01:05 PM

Keeping it simple......these are my go to bars:

Por_sha911 12-02-2019 01:12 PM

Heath Bar rules.

Honorable mentions: Chunky, Twix, Milky Way.

yellowperil 12-02-2019 01:29 PM

I have a couple more favs. Crispy crunch and from a long time ago, Virginia bars.

The Virginia bar was real simple, just milk chocolate and nuts. Yum yum.

Oh Henry was ok if nothing else was available. It was always the last bars to be eaten out of the halloween bucket.. lol.. Well, it was before nestle crunch bars..

red-beard 12-02-2019 02:06 PM

There was one old lady at Halloween who used to give them out. But they were always stale.

Edit: They were Clark bars, not Oh Henry.

I seem to remember getting a giant size "Oh Henry", like 5x, for Christmas. Maybe a gift exchange?

Butterfinger was my favorite. I'd get a DQ Blizzard with Butterfinger a few times a year. I was disappointed to learn that they changed the recipe. Now it tastes disgusting.

Butterfinger has been my favorite. When was the recipe changed? I don't treat myself very often with a candy bar - it's probably been almost a year.

Jims5543 12-02-2019 07:35 PM

I never eat candy bars, this past Halloween we had a lot left over, I almost induced diabbeatus.

I should correct that, we grab a 85% cocoa bar at Walgreens once in a blue moon.

Tootsie Rolls are by far the best chewy candy bar around. I've been eating the since 1955. Sometimes they're hard to find.

mattdavis11 12-02-2019 07:53 PM

I was always a fan of World's Finest. Don't eat much chocolate, a twix every now and then.

Sooner or later 12-02-2019 08:11 PM

Zero. Candy bar and my IQ.

Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines of what they will have at the Piggly Wiggly.

Zero Bar, for a change of pace, if they have them. Oh Henry is good, Almond Joy, Snickers.

There is some Ghirardelli chocolate that you get in a bag of little squares, dark, milk, or with caramel, whatever, they are all good.

Except egg nog flavored squares, must start out as white chocolate that they add whatever to and arrive at nasty.

You get a lot of Toblerone bars as gifts when you are named Toby, so I have that going for me

Lindt is top shelf, I like Dove chocolate, has a good texture and flavor

Saadi996tt 12-02-2019 08:43 PM

This is the candy section at one of my gas stations, I must walk past it countless times per day but don’t have the urge to get anything off the shelf.

sure the Aztecs cut out people's hearts and drilled into their brains - while they were still alive

BUT..... they invented chocolate!

911_Dude 12-03-2019 06:36 AM

You guys are savages.

Rittersport dark chocolate and hazelnuts.

My late father used to keep both Mounds and Almond Joys in his top dresser drawer.

One of those memories from childhood you'll never forget.

asphaltgambler 12-03-2019 11:56 AM

Well - it looks like it'll be awhile before I taste anymore Mounds. Just got my 6 month wellness report and my A1C is now elevated to 6.5. I'm 60, 5- 11, 215 with a muscular build. Bye sweets, carbs, drinking frequently and generally having fun....

I was wondering if anyone would mention those. It's the only candy bar that I will actually get a craving to have. I'll be standing in a checkout line and feel compelled to buy one.

A customer from Hawaii sent me a care package with some really good chocolates.

Evans, Marv 12-03-2019 04:06 PM

When I was a little kid, my dad would occasionally being home a pack of Bit-O-Honey & give me & my sisters a piece. It's still one of my favorites, but what they make now days doesn't taste exactly like the one from the past.
