› Forum › THE LOUNGE › JFF: What’s your favorite candy?
My favorite candy of all time are Cadbury Mini Eggs. They’re basically little milk chocolate eggs with a sugar shell, they don’t sound that exciting, but something about them makes them perfect! Of course they only come out in the spring, so I stock up. I’m actually eating some right now! I’m not much of a candy person in general, so these are really the only candies I ever buy (which is probably good for my waistline at least).
So, what’s your favorite candy? How often do you eat it?
Once a year favorite, yeah……those Cadbury eggs. Only have to eat 2 during the Easter season and you don’t want chocolate for weeks 😉
Year round fav…….Hersheys Almond bar.
Do you get the big Cadbury eggs? With the filling? I’ll admit I’ve never tried those – I’m not sure if I’d like the filling part. Plus they’re so big! I like the mini ones where I can grab a handful – and no creamy filling. Plus I love the sugar shell on them – it’s like an M&M shell, but a bit sweeter.
I forgot my other favorite candy – Wilbur Buds. They’re exactly like Hershey Kisses in shape, but made by Wilbur Chocolate Company in PA. They’re fairly regional, so I had them all the time growing up but most people don’t know what they are. Something about their milk chocolate formula is just perfect for me. At my last job, our purchasing department would sometimes buy chocolate from Wilbur, so the Wilbur people sent them a huge tin full of Wilbur Buds for Christmas. Of course I sat right next to the purchasing people and ate my fair share of Wilbur Buds. Yum.
oh, I’m sorry, yes, I mean the large eggs with the white and yellow goo that makes it look like a real egg. Makes your teeth itch for hours they’re so sweet.
Hahaha. Itchy teeth, eh? Maybe I’ll have to try them!
Any kind of peanut butter candy like Reese pieces, Reese cups…. Right now my friend got me a big bag of Peanut Butter M&M’s…I could eat the whole bag!
I can only have one or two of the big Cadbury Eggs, they’re so rich I feel like I get a cavity just thinking about them lol!
I have to admit… my sweet tooth is sizable, much to the detriment of my waistline. lol. It does, however, make me pretty much an expert on candy… I love those Cadbury creme eggs, even though they make my teeth ache. And mini eggs are just perfect. I also love gummy candies like Swedish berries and fuzzy peaches. mmm… candy…
I try not to buy candy often because, if I do buy it, I must eat it. All of it. Immediately. lol
I buy it and give it to my son to hide. I mean really hide, not in the fridge or desk drawer…lol. Then he can ration them out to me when he sees that “hand over the chocolate and no one gets hurt’ look on my face.
i’ve sadly never been a fan of the cadbury creme eggs. i think i would like the ones without filling, but i never can seem to find those.
my favorite candy is probably a caramello bar. it’s so incredibly decadent and rich. i can’t and don’t eat them often, but it’s so heavenly when i do.
not much of a candy person, moreso a chocolate person.
fun thread. =)
My favorite candy is Nerds… If it wouldn’t potentially kill me I would attempt to live on Nerds alone lol
I like the big cadbury eggs witht he caramel in them… mmmm…
My usualy candy is skittles tho.. or Ghirardelli caramel chocolate… mmm

The mini eggs are very easy to find – they’re in a purple bag, usually near the creme eggs. You can get a big bag, or a single serving bag.
I’m a big fan of the Jelly Belly Jelly Beans. Also Twizzlers (which is why I had a rabbit named Twizzler). Of course Toffee as well – have a rabbit named Toffee too.
Reeses Peanut Butter Cup …
Once a week or every 2 weeks..
Oh, and Ritter Sport. Its a brand of German chocolates that are taking over America lol
OMG Sarita, I looove jelly bellys. Tangarine are my fav flavor
Toblerone bars have been my favorite lately- especially the fruit and nut Toblerone. And Dove chocolate is always a favorite- the chocolate is so smooth! I like milk chocolate better than dark chocolate.

red sour patch kids! i wish they sold bags of only the red ones. i also love laffy taffy. the cry baby sour gumballs are really good too. it sux bc i got braces last april and now i cant have any taffy, gum or chewy candy. boo :o(
I live like 10 mins away from the Jelly Belly factory and they give free tours on a little train. Afterwards you get a free bag of jelly bellys There is a shop attached to the factory with every single kind of flavor possible. They have the craziest flavors like dirty diaper, vomit, skunk, grass and nasty stuff like that. You can sample those for free but I wouldn’t dare
My fav. candy would be twizzlers and snickers. I love the milky way easter egg ones but I can’t seem to find them anymore
Those sound like the ones they make for the Harry Potter theme – Bertie Bott’s Every Flavour Beans.
Me, I like Glosette Raisins, mint Aero bars, Big Turk bars and Toffifee.

I love all candy!lol.Overall my favorite is…..GUMMY BEARS!!!!!!!
You guys are making me hungry! *whines*
The Cadbury Creme Eggs come in an all chocolate flavor, that’s the one I like better than the egg-like one. But yeah, way too much chocolate for one sitting, and they’re no good if you nibble half now and half later.
The Mini Eggs hurt my teeth…and M&M’s (which I haven’t eaten since I learned they were tested on rabbits…I was going to try and get NO RABBIT TESTING put on a bag when they had that promotion for putting your own phrase on them, but didn’t want to patronize the company) just taste like chemicals to me the last time I had them.
I can’t believe Cadbury got bought by some Kraft. I don’t know how good Caramellos are going to be now.
I do like Reese’s, but only occasionally. I love gummy anything, especially sour/sweet.
Spree is a good fruity disc shaped candy…another sour/sweet.
Spice drops…spicey gum drops like Dots…mmmmm.
Sour Skittles are nummy, but hurt my teeth.
I love toffee types of candies, so I like to eat chocolate Riesen’s when I can find fresh ones.
My favorite has to be Sctochmallows by Sees.
One of my husband’s friends just gave me some gourmet chocolate bar from Indonesia that is actually a nice bittersweet chocolate that doesn’t give my stomach the same nightmare that US chocolates do, but I don’t think I want to spend big bucks getting another.
Tollhouse chips straight out of the bag…WOOT!
(see what you guys started? Now I’ve got diarrhea of the mouth! >.< )
Oh scotchmallows!! Those are fantastic! I also really like See’s molasses chips!
– Annette
Mimz, I’m also nervous about Kraft buying Cadbury. I’ve worked in the food industry and Kraft is kind of evil. Lol. I don’t really trust most of the brands they own.
It also makes me super mad that Hershey sold out and all of their chocolate is fake now. It’s gross. I tried to eat a Kit Kat on Halloween and actually spit it out. I used to love Kit Kats, but now the chocolate just tastes like wax 🙁
Malley’s has a Bourdeaux chocolate… it’s toffee covered in almond dust. MMM…..
Regular candy… I love snickers and twix.
red sour patch kids! i wish they sold bags of only the red ones. i also love laffy taffy. the cry baby sour gumballs are really good too. it sux bc i got braces last april and now i cant have any taffy, gum or chewy candy. boo :o(
Hahaha when I had braces I ate everything you are not supposed to…. I chewed gum, ate apples, bagels, gummys, hard candies,taffy, toffy… everything.
I’d say my favorite candy is gummy worms, I just love them so much – the sour bright crawler ones! They are delicious!
I’m not a huge candy person – I would rather have a chocolate chip cookie!
But I really like chocolate mints. One of the stores near me has “Mighty Mints” in the bulk section – YUM!! They are just like Junior Mints.
J’s favorite candy is skittles!
chocolate did someone say chocolate.
chocolate truffles
sixlets
easter bunny
I forget what these are called but they come out around easter. They are like an egg shape but have really really soft peanut butter in them.
dark chocolate
chocolate

Oh, yes, I definitely prefer chocolate chip cookies! Yum
moonlight wolf i am super careful when i eat that stuff now. im so worried that i will lose a bracket. since im 27 insurance doesnt cover them anymore and i would have to pay for any new brackets. blah! this is my second time around with them. when i was a teenager i had them and didnt wear my retainer and so here i am again. i LOVE gum and im just so scared to eat it. did the gum stick to your braces?
A Cadbury Creme Egg was the first thing my boyfriend ever gave me, many years ago. I still have the wrapper of that one. I eat them now because of him. I almost die from sugar poisining each time.
My favorite is Ferrero Rocher.
Mmmmm…hazelnut flavored candies…yum!
I used to love Toffifays, but I can’t ever find fresh ones anymore.
I meant to put a vote in for Jelly Belly beans as well…cherry and bubble gum are my faves!
I also like, but can’t find, Washington (sour) Cherries. Good eatin’! ^_^
Not really a sweets person-but I LOVE sour skittles!

What do you mean? Do you get old chocolates in Alaska in the store too? We do here. It is so gross. I buy chocolate and it is nasty old.
lol, when i used to eat twix i would smush them a little in the store to make sure they werent all old and hard before i would buy them. they taste so nasty when they are stale.
We get old everything.
I try to only buy eggs from local folks here because the ones up from the 48 are already about two weeks old and they end up if you put them in a cup of water. >.< Nasty!
I keep wanting to grow a garden in summer, but I can’t make anything grow but spore mold. Our produce is always pretty terrible too.
Then come the days when even something you know is well stocked is just out…none of it on the shelves. You ask why this thing you want is not there and you get a shrug. I tell you, it’s maddening. ~_~
The sad thing is, during the winter months, you have to take what you can get.
Sounds liek a lovely place to live….
We get nice fresh Toffifays here. I remember when I was little my grandma bought them for me for christmas all the time. Love them!
Hey, there’s a thought…now that Xmas is long past…
Did any of you get some favorite kind of candy regularly at Xmas? Or birthdays?
I know what I always loved at holiday-time was a nice box of petit-fours from Swiss Colony.
Evry year, never fails, we get After Eight mint patties. I swear, I HATE mint, but I love those. Can’t stand any other kind of mint-dark chocolate thing tho. Just after eights. Dark chocolate is wrong.
Jolly Ranchers (Watermelon or Fire)…See’s Nuts & Chews around the holidays & bite-size Chick-O-Sticks. I went on a “girls weekend” & my friend from Truckee brought some bite-sized Chick-O-Sticks and they were GONE quickly. Forgot how good those were; and remember Abba Zabba???

Not store-bought, but in my family these vanilla crescent cookies are a xmas standard. If you are anything like me you will be hooked after just eating one.
