I am a white chocolate (I know–a misnomer) fan, so, natch, my favorite candy bar is ZERO. White chocolate, caramel, nougat, nuts–there is no milk chocolate counterpart–all delicious.

A bit hard to find, usually, but the mini-market inside my local gas station stocks them. Lucky me!

My favorite is Milkyway midnight! But I can only get them in mini versions around Halloween! Last year I gave my friend $5 for all her Milkyways!!

Jonathan, I LOVE Sixlets. They seemed to have disappeared for awhile, but I have been able to find them more often recently. Definitely better than M&Ms.

I am also a big fan of the Zero bar.

I’m a huge fan of Thortons. With hazelnuts.

Toffee?

I’m about to let you in on one of the best kept secrets (one taste and you’ll know why).

Do yourself the biggest favor in your life. Go to the farmers market (by CBS) and find the booth for “Little Johns” toffee.

They give samples, so try one. I guarentee that you will leave with not only a box for yourself, but a few more boxes for good friends. It has become a staple Christmas gift for us.

Let me know what you think.

It’s not a candy bar that does it for me. It’s candy corn. Brach’s pales compared to Farley’s. But I can never find Farley’s candy corn in any month that doesn’t start with “Octo”.

I always freeze the Skor bar and eat it that way–DELICIOUS!!

My favorite hard-to-find candy is Sixlets. More spherical and sweeter than M&Ms. The colored candy-coating actually has different flavors. They come in a long tube wrapper, so you can eat them like Mentos.

I believe the mascot is a caterpillar.

If you’re talking toffee, you’ve got to include Mrs. Sees.
