Bar-None candy bars from the late 80s-early 90s. Best candy bar I ever had. I think someone is making a reproduction, I need to try them.

When I was in high school I sold candy bars at school for beer money. I would reload at Wal-mart and make over double what I paid in profit, at least until I got busted by the school for biting into their "world's finest" chocolate monopoly

Anyway, I sold all the standards (for 1985) Reeses PBC, Snickers, Hershey's, Twix, etc...

The Twix was the best selling and ran out first every single day.

Peanut Butter M&Ms.  Not Peanut M&Ms, Peanut Butter M&Ms. Himself is threatening to start keeping them under lock and key to save me from myself.

The MARS bar.  You can't get them in the US anymore but A Snickers with almonds is pretty close.

only if deep fried with batter.

Also deep fried cadbury creme eggs (and deep fried frozen pizzas). I discovered those things visiting my cousin in scotland in the 90s.

Yes, the eggs seem to be the best and keep them in the fridge.

I don't know, but if it doesn't have PB & chocolate, it's wrong.

Will allow for those cocoa-dusted truffles that come around at Christmas time.

A challenger appears.

Those are seriously good.  I ran across a huge box of them for sale stupid cheap on Amazon a few years ago.  Felt like I won the lottery.

Creamsicle fudge from Chutter's in Littleton, New Hampshire.

Soft, smooth, and tasty.  Good thing I don't live closer, or I'd be 30 pounds heavier.

My daughter brought home a bag of those a couple days ago, tried one.  Interesting change... like if those old Jawbreakers somehow took on the texture of those soft holiday mint things.

But I do like a bag of Jelly Bellys now and then.
