So, what's your favorite type of candies? I like Snickers, Lindt Truffles (hazelnut, white chocolate and peanut butter), Milky Way, Reese's, Twix, Sour Patch Kids, and Swedish Fish. I'm sure there's more I can name, but that's all I can think of so far.

Montezuma's secret squirrel truffels, lindt of all types (especially the red truffle things)... and more i'm sure

in terms of sweets: sherbert lemons!!

I'll be boring and say Snickers. Can't beat a good Snickers. I like the dark chocolate Snickers that was out recently for a while, too.

I also like Mr. Goodbar and some of the stuff my European (well, German) relatives bring back on occasion, especially when if involves hazelnut. We don't do hazelnut in this hemisphere, but we should.

Favorite junk candy - Snickers
Favorite decent candy - See's
Favorite all-time wonderful candy - homemade truffles.

The Star Bar.

I can't even begin to put a list together.

Another fave - my mother's booze balls. Grind vanilla wafers and walnuts together - heavy on the nuts, add sugar to taste. Add enough melted butter and good bourbon to hold them together, mold into balls. Roll in walnuts, cocoa powder or powdered sugar. Let sit for 12-24 hours. Serve.

Mostly sour things, plus a homemade thing my grandma makes occasionally called "Karofka", which is like toffee. Strela (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strela_candy) is pretty good too..

I wouldn't call Snickers a 'junk' candy, but I'm with you in distinguishing between specialty and handmade candy and mass-produced stuff. It's a whole different thing. My favorite handmade candy is from Schmid's. Schmid was an old German guy who did all his own candymaking in a little shop down the street from me when I lived in San Clemente. He moved in right before I left town, but you couldn't forget chocolates like that. I hope he's still in business.

Do chocodiles count?

Because if so, it's a tie between them and peanut butter cups. If not then it's not a tie. ;)

Skittles.

Oh great! Now I want candy...:(

Twizzlers primarily. Then sour patch kids I guess. Then banana jelly beans maybe.

Banana jelly beans .... ?:eek2:

Is it chocolate? Yes? It's my favorite.

In all seriousness, I do like Snickers, M&M's, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, Mounds, and Almond Joy.

Reese's Honey Roasted Peanut Butter Cups?

I don't want to talk about them. :(

Well, they're in the song.. :p

I know they are granny lollies, but I can't go past Werther's Originals hard lollies. Oh My God!

Reese's peanut butter cups. The big cups are even better because they have a higher fake peanut butter to chocolate ratio. All of the other creative "variations" however are bad. White chocolate Reese's? Bad. Crunchy peanut butter? Bad. Peanut butter and banana cups? WTF.

:eek2: Y'mean the limited edition Elvis-flavored peanut butter cups?! Those are amazing!

White chocolate isn't natural, though, I do agree. And peanut butter cups with real peanut butter are better, even if they're expensive and hard to find. :tongue:

Basingstoke

What is this candy you are talking about? I do know what you Yanks are talking about

I like chocolate and lollies.

My favourite ones include Diam, Ooze Toobz, Mars bars and anything by Haighs

Some lollies I prefer more include Skittles, Starburst (the original kind), Fantales Minties and almost anything in the Allen's range

Galaxy, Star Bar, Thornton's Continental and White Chocolate Maltesers :)

I'm not mad keen on very strong or bitter dark chocolate but other than that and Hershey's I'll eat any of it :D

I have the distinct pleasure of being allergic to chocolate, so my favourite sweets are all of the sugary candy variety. Skittles are my *absolute* favourite.

:eek:

:(

any flavor as long as its chocklet.

actually i prefer raw meat and pickles to any kind of sweet stuff, but the one, almost only sugary flavor i care much for, many i have a hard time even tolerating, would have to be chocklet.

salt licorice

Licorice, but not the hard stuff.

Hell yeah, like the Soft licorice you can get from Darrel leas.

Yeah that's the stuff.

I also tried THESE (https://www.securecharges.com/~flnatural/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=26&products_id=126) the other day, and they were absolutely fantastic. Better than any other "gummi" type of snack I have ever eaten...and I'm a big fan of teh gummi!

The home-made sweets my mum used to make at Christmas - cherries marinated in Kirsch then dipped in dark chocolate.

Yeah that's the stuff.

Yeah I love it I can't get enough of it.

My favorite candy is Almonets (by Nestle)... Yummm...
Cadbury bars are nice too...

Snickers bar, frozen absolutely solid.

I also love Jelly Belly's beans, wonderful things. Just pop one in and let it melt.

I love skittles. My traditional cinema snack is a bag of skittles and a coke. At the same time, they are a bit of a guilty pleasure because they have no nutritional value what so ever.

Reee's Pieces, skittles, rasinettes, sour patch kids.

I actually think those are the only ones I have.

KitKats and Reese's

Aw yeah. :cool:

I'll see that awful song and raise you THIS awful song...

I'm quite fond of Ghirardelli chocolates, usually the darker kinds. I also enjoy a rather wide variety of Japanese hard candies. Of course, I couldn't do without the odd package of Haribo Gold Bears -- only the imported type,though; corn syrup seems to ruin their texture.

Hm. Hard to say which is more irritating, but that's gotta be close. :p

Zero Bar! :) They still make those? I haven't seen any recently.

And where are peanut butter Snickers? I haven't seen one of those in years. All my old favorites are disappearing faster than Dulce de Leche M&Ms. :(

M&M Plain

ech, i'm not really concerned with chocolate snacks. Now hot chocolate made from cooking chocolate is what i'm talking about. sooo good, i felt ill after drinking it. so rich, i must have more.

Skittles 'n kit-kats.

(the original black ones).

To answer the OP, Peppermint Patties and Bottle Caps (the root beer and cola flavored ones were the best).

Mmmm... ammonium chloride...

What does that taste like, anyway? :tongue:

Mmmm... ammonium chloride...

Applications
Ammonium chloride is sold in blocks at hardware stores for use in cleaning the tip of a soldering iron and can also be included in solder as flux.

Other uses include a feed supplement for cattle, in hair shampoo, in textile printing, in the glue that bonds plywood, as an ingredient in nutritive media for yeast, in cleaning products, and as cough medicine. Its expectorant action is caused by irritative action on the bronchial mucosa. This causes the production of excess respiratory tract fluid which presumably is easier to cough up. It is also used in an oral acid loading test to diagnose distal renal tubular acidosis.

Ammonium chloride is used in snow treatment, namely on ski slopes at temperatures above 0 °C, to harden the snow and slow its melting.

In several countries sal ammoniac is used to spice up liquorice-type dark candies (Finland's salmiakki, Sweden's lakrisal, the Netherlands' zoute drop and the Danish Dracula Piller are popular examples), and as a flavoring for vodkas.

Ammonium chloride is used as an expectorant, diuretic and systemic acidifying agent. It is used in the treatment of severe metabolic alkalosis, to maintain the urine at an acid pH in the treatment of some urinary-tract disorders or in forced acid diuresis.

Ammonium salts are an irritant to the gastric mucosa and may induce nausea and vomiting

Am I the only one who finds this just a little scary?

Am I the only one who finds this just a little scary?

Ammonium Chloride is by far the best flavouring to a candy (and liquor for that matter) :tongue:

What it tastes like is hard to describe...Perhaps closest you can get is indeed combining salt with liquorice as Wiki suggests (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmiakki) but that's not really even half the truth. ;)

It's an aquired taste though.

Almond Joy, Swedish Fish, Neon Gummy Worms, Goetze's Caramel Creams and E. Wedel Black Currant Bars. Yummmm

Candy corn!

US: Dark chocolate M&M peanut
Canada: Coffee Crisp

Addicted on both counts.

Mmm, candy... I love M&Ms, Hershey's (no almonds please--yick!), Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Ghirardelli Milk Chocolate, Cadbury Cream Eggs (at Eastertime)... oh, the list could go on and on.
