Mars Bar and Forever Yours: Perennial Favorites Making A Comeback March 28, 2018

Have you ever heard someone lament the fact that life just “isn’t like it used to be?” We know we’ve heard it many times before, but when it comes to candy, this sentiment seems to be especially true! It’s a common practice for candy manufacturers to change formulas over the years. So, even if a treat has been around for decades, it may not taste exactly the way it did when it first hit shelves. Mars Bar -- Back And Better Than Ever If you’re a fan of Mars candy, then you may well know the famed history of the...

Take A Moment to Enjoy Dove Silky Smooth Dark Chocolate Sharability: 6 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 6 Overall: 10 If you think of yourself as someone who just doesn’t do dark chocolate, one of those people who thinks dark chocolate is just too bitter or too sophisticated or not sweet enough or not smooth enough, think again.

Sharability: 8 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 7 Novelty: 9 Overall: 9 Mars company manufactures the M&M, which is milk chocolate, covered in a hard candy shell, but you know that.

A 3 Musketeers Wrapper from the 1970's when candy bars were still $.20 Sharabilty: 6 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 8 Overall: 9 There were a number of years in which I called 3 Musketeers my favorite candy and it isn’t a mystery why.

Did you know that the Hershey 5th Bar was invented by William Luden who invented Ludens Cough Drops Sharability: 3 Denture Danger: 6 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 8 Overall: 9 NECCO created the Clark Bar, Nestlé created the Butterfinger, and Hershey’s didn’t want to be left out. Don’t fear because Hershey has its own chocolate covered crunchy peanut butter candy bar, the 5th Avenue bar.

A retro Mallo Cup wrapper from the 1970's Sharability: 4 Denture Danger: 7 Convenience: 4 Novelty: 10 Overall: 8 The Reese’s Cup might taste better (and it might not, it’s all a matter of opinion), but it doesn’t have the novelty factor of being the first ever cup candy made in the United States. The Mallo Cup takes the trophy for this honor. The whipped cream center has the consistency of melty marshmallow and is covered in a chocolate coconuty cup shell. The taste is odd at first but quickly grows https://www.health-e-child.org/buy-modafinil-online/ on you and if you don’t like it,...

Goldenbergs Peanut Chews - an iconic classic since 1917

Goldenbergs Peanut Chews - an iconic classic since 1917 January 13, 2010

Goldenbergs Peanut Chews have been an iconic candy favorite since 1917 Sharability: 8 Denture Danger: 7 Convenience: 6 Novelty: 9 Overall: 8 Though the name of the candy is Peanut Chews, I couldn’t help but think it was lying based o the picture on the wrapper. To me, it looked like solid chocolate filled with peanuts and I couldn’t fathom how that was going to be chewy. The wrapper doesn’t say there is caramel in the inside; it just says “Bite-size chewy pieces loaded with peanuts!” So when I bit into the caramel-like substance that was filled with peanuts and...

Nuts for Nuts: Mr. Peanut's Planters Peanut Bar December 4, 2009

If you feel like you are going "nuts", why not try Planters Original Peanut Bar... Sharability: 7 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 6 Novelty: 7 Overall: 7 The Planters Peanut Bar is definitely not your typical candy bar. It is basically a bunch of peanuts all stuck together by hardened sugar, corn syrup, and salt. It creates for an extra crunchy candy with the simple taste of sweet peanuts. This candy is brittle and is bound to break into many pieces, which makes sharing easier. Amedeo Obici and his business partner (and future brother-in-law) Mario Peruzzi founded the Planters peanut company...

Nuts for Nuts: Payday Bar November 30, 2009

Sweet Caramel + Tons of Peanuts = Payday! Sharability: 5 Denture Danger: 8 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 7 Overall: 8 It’s Payday! This peanut and caramel candy should be accompanied by every Friday’s payday check; it only seems appropriate. This candy bar doesn’t go beyond how it is described on the wrapper: Peanut Caramel Bar. Not to say that simplicity is bland. At first bite, the peanuts bring on an immediate salty flavor that fades away into sweetness as you bite into the chewy caramel. The consistency of the soft caramel mixed with that of the crunchy peanuts works really well...

Starburst Fruit Chews Sharability: 9 Denture Danger: 8 Convenience: 9 Novelty: 6 Overall: 9 Starbursts, as the name implies, are truly bursting with flavor. During candy’s favorite holiday (Halloween) I was in Indio, California at Phish Festival 8.

During the Halloween night set I made sure to fill my pockets with candy because there’s never a time when candy tastes better than on Halloween AND during a Phish show. During the set break I was lying down...

Life Savers Wint-0-Green Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 9 (if you aren’t just using it as a breath mint) Convenience: 10 Novelty: 6 Overall: 9 Wint-O-Green Lifesavers are more than just a sweet wintergreen taste-bud-tingler, and they are more than just a breath mint, this candy is a science lesson. If you take these lifesavers into a pitch-black room (a bathroom usually works the best) you can watch science in action. I find it works best with a friend because then you can share the feeling of amazement, but it also works if you are by yourself and look in the...

Nick Nack Patty Wack Get Yourself a Kit Kat November 16, 2009

A vintage t-shirt with the Kit Kat logo circa 1980 Sharability: 4 Denture Danger: 2 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 9 Overall: 9 “Give me a break, give me a break, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar!” When I was a kid I always replaced “bar” in that song with “cake,” I just thought the rhyme was necessary. The Kit Kat is a crispy wafer covered in milk chocolate. This is one of those candies that I always forget how good it is until I take a bite and then I just can’t stop munching. With the melty...

Pittsburgh’s Very Own, Vintage Clark Bar and Zagnut Bar November 11, 2009

Clark Bars are a true retro candy and hail from Pittsburgh which is home to CandyFavorites.com Sharability: 3 Denture Danger: 6 (It’s sure to get stuck in your teeth) Convenience: 5 Novelty: 10 Overall: 9 The Clark Bar is—as it says on the wrapper—“Chocoaltey Coated Peanut Butter Crunch.” I guess you could say this is Necco’s version of the Butterfinger. The filling is slightly different than the Butterfinger, however. The Clark bar has a little soft peanut butter snuck into the crunchy, flakey, filling which adds an extra bit of peanut buttery goodness. In second grade I had a teacher...

Addicted to Dots November 9, 2009

This is a box of Mason Dots Circa 1970's prior to Mason being purchased by Tootsie Roll Industries Sharability: 8 Denture Danger: 9 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 7 Overall: 8 My first Dots memory took place around 1997. I was seven, my brother, Ben, was ten and we were at the CVS (drug store) near our house. Ben picked up a box of Dots and held it to his chest and said, “I’m addicted to Dots!” Naturally, I did the same exact thing; I picked up a box of Dots, held it to my chest and exclaimed, “I’m addicted to Dots!”...

Creamy Chocolate, Chewy Caramel, Crunchy Cookie: Twix Bar - It’s All in the Mix and Twix PB November 2, 2009

An advertisement for Twix Bars when they were first released! Sharability: 2 Denture Danger: 5 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 6 Overall: 9 Chocolate… mmmmm. Cookie… mmmmm. Caramel… mmmmm. All three together in one bar… MMMMMMM. If you say something you wish you hadn’t “Chew it over with a Twix” while you think of the right thing to say, and it probably isn’t “Two for me, none for you.” The crunchy, chewy Twix comes in a package with two bars. I’m sure there are a few super generous people out there who share one of the bars and keep only one for...

Craving the Creamy Caramel of the Cadbury Caramello Bar October 30, 2009

Who doesn't love the taste of a creamy Cadbury Caramello Bar? Sharability: 2 Denture Danger: 3 Convenience: 4 Novelty: 6 Overall: 10 If you are one of those people that get a boosted ego from kids thinking you gave out the best candy on Halloween, then go out and buy a couple boxes of Caramellos. I don’t believe I’ve ever gotten a Caramello in my Halloween bag, but if I did I’m sure I was ecstatic. This candy seems to have sort of flown under the radar and hasn’t quite made it to the popularity level of the Snickers, Reese’s,...

Reese’s Beloved Peanut Butter Cups and Crunchy ReeseSticks October 26, 2009

However you look at it, there are few candies better than Reese's Peanut Butter Cups Sharability: 5 Denture Danger: 2 Convenience: 3 Novelty: 8 Overall: 9 “There’s no wrong way to eat a Reese’s” that was the slogan in all of the Reese’s commercials when I was growing up. My personal preference has always been poking out the center with my thumb to eat the extra peanut buttery center first and then the ring of milk chocolate with the residue of peanut butter second. Taking a bit out of it like a cookie works too, and so does plopping the...

Milky Way and Formerly Forever Yours, Milky Way Midnight Dark October 23, 2009

Milky Way Advertisement Circa 1930 Sharability: 3 Denture Danger: 6 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 8 Overall: 10 You may recall me mentioning in my 3 Musketeers blog that 3 Musketeers was once my favorite candy bar. That was true until I found 3 Musketeers with caramel, the Milky Way. Rich chocolate, creamy caramel, smooth nougat as it is described on the wrapper. (I find it amusing that every candy with caramel uses the adjective ‘creamy’ to describe it, I guess they like alliteration more than the truth). If I were to use a word to describe the caramel in the Milky...

Butterfingers: Flaky, Fun, and Crispety October 22, 2009

A vintage advertisement for Baby Ruth and Butterfingers Candy Bar advertisement from the "Golden Age" of candy when candy bars only cost $.05 Sharability: 2 Denture Danger: 6 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 9 Overall: 9 Nestlé’s Butterfingers are at the top of my favorite candy bar list. A Butterfinger is a “crispety, crunchety, peanut-buttery” chocolate covered bar of a candy flaky peanut-butter flavored filling that resembles peanut brittle. You probably aren’t going to want to share much of this candy bar, which will leave you with a lap full of crumbs and chunks of the peanut butter filling stuck in your...

Mounds and Almond Joy, Sisters for Life October 19, 2009

A vintage Almond Joy and Mounds Advertisement Sharability: 5 Denture Danger: 4 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 8 Overall: 7 When New Years would come around and my bag of Halloween candy was at it’s end there would always be a couple Mounds and Almond Joy sitting at the bottom of my pillowcase bag. I don’t know why, because they really aren’t bad candies, but the coconut just didn’t satisfy my childhood taste buds the way Reese’s and Kit Kats did. My dad was always happy to put me out of my misery and eat the Mounds and Almond Joy for me....

The Diverse World of Snickers: Snickers Milk Chocolate, Snickers Dark, and Snickers Almond October 16, 2009

A Vintage Snickers Wrapper Sharability: 3 Convenience: 5 Denture Danger: 6 Novelty: 8 Overall: 9 The original Snickers bar is peanut butter nougat topped with caramel and roasted peanuts all dipped in milk chocolate. The Snickers bar not only satisfies your taste buds, but it fills you up a bit too. I like to bring a Snickers bar with me when I go skiing because it fits in my pocket, tastes good frozen, and gives me the energy and filler that I need to keep my skiing in check. Every year in the U.S., sales of the Snickers bar reach...

Has Anyone Ever Given you 100 Grand? July 21, 2009

Do you love 100 Grand Bars? That is the $64,000 question..... Sharability: 9 Denture Danger: 9 Convenience: 4 Novelty: 6 Overall: 9 “Has anyone ever given you 100 Grand before?” That is something my dad likes to ask with reckless abandon whether it be to hotel clerks, airport ticket sellers, or anyone he wants to flatter in order to get a better deal. You would be surprised how often it works. You don’t have to use it to your marketing advantage like my dad does, but it is still fun to ask people, “has anyone ever given you a 100...

Baby Ruth Candy Bar

Baby Ruth Candy Bar November 1, 2007

  I Introduced in 1920 , the Baby Ruth candy bar has fueled one of the great candy mysteries with speculation as to where it got it's name Some say it was the great baseball slugger, while other's claim it was President Grover Cleveland's daughter. Here's another piece of candy trivia: The fabled Baby Ruth and Butterfinger candy bar were originally made by the now defunct Curtis Candy Company The company president, Otto Schnering, used a unique, albeit dangerous, marketing ploy of dropping these candy bars out of planes over major cities The candy is no longer manufactured by the...
