What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

Based strictly off of opinion, what do you all think the top 3 Best and top 3 Worst types of candy ever made are? I will start it off.....

Best:
1. Crunch
2. Snickers
3. Skittles

Worst:
1. Candy Corn
2. Nik L Nip
3. Necco wafers a.k.a. candy Tums (particularly orange, green and purple)

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

It appears that the two of us have similar tastes in candy,
Best:
1. Skittles
2. Crunch Bars
3. Coffee Crisp

Worst:
1. Popcorn flavored lollipops
2. Popcorn flavored lollipops
3. Did I mention popcorn flavored lollipops?

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

Oh god... I don't even want to see a popcorn flavored lollipop.... It sounds god offal. I cant believe that would be classified as candy...

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

My favorite 3...(1=best)
1. Baby Ruth. THE BEST.
2. Sour Patch Kids
3. Zours! Mike n' Ike's

Worst... (1=worst)
3. Those generic brand Halloween candies, you know, those oddly wraped chocolates that your never really sure about...
2. Peanut Brittle
1. Black jelly beans. (yuck)

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

What about popcorn flavored jellybeans? :rolleyes:

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

I wanted to put black liquorice on mine because that is really bad, but, I would rather eat it then any of the three I put up, even if it does taste like burning plastic.

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

top three:
snickers
nerds
reeses peanut butter cups

worst three:
unidentified chocolates you've never heard of
cinamon jolly ranchers
the weird jelly belly flavors (ie marshmallow and popcorn)

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

Sounds equally as nasty. I dunno what the marketing manager(s) who decided to try to sell popcorn flavored candies were thinking. Must have been something like "Sweet and sour chicken is good, so lets make them buttery, sweet and salty, like butter-fried Krispy Kremes with anchovies!"

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

Best:
1. Reese's peanut better cups. Whenever we have them at the shop its always interesting to see who gets their first and buys them all....
2. White Chocolate. Any and All.
3. Nerds.

Worse:
1. Popcorn flavored anything
2. Cinnamon flavored anything
3. Candy Corn

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

Oh, now I just have to say yuk.
Just yuk.
Something as wonderful as a butter-fried KK covered with anchovies is so wrong. Makes you want to gargle or drink diet coke or something.

my dad one time brought home some candy from work. I have no idea the name of it, but let me tell you, this stuff was awful.
It was basically crystallized ginger... burned your mouth and throat, and made you want to puke. Yes, it was a candy, and it was imported from Africa (i believe).

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

I have to say that Americans are deprived of amazing Canadian candy like Cherry Blasters, Aero, Crunchies, Fuzzy Peaches etc. all of which are absolutely delicious.

I'd say that the worst thing ever to come into the name of candy is the really cheap chocolate you get at like a dollar store or something. Its not real chocolate, it actually has no taste. It's just disgusting.

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

Best:
1. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Close 2. Raisinets (or really any chocolate-covered raisins)
3. Hershey Cookies and Cream Bars

Worst:
1. Reverse Reese's (had them once at Hershey Park (I think), they made me gag)
2. Anything with a creme filling
3. Dark chocolate (not my cup of tea)

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

Best:

Strawberry shoe string "licorice" laces
Gobstoppers
Peanut butter M&Ms

Worst:

Chunky candybars (ick, raisins!)
Black licorice anything
Candy Buttons (made by Necco), you know, those hard candy dots on sheets of paper that you bite off and eat along with the paper still stuck to the back of them... yuck!

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

Best:
1. Whatchamacallit
2. Candy Corn (I'm in the minority, I can eat these all the time)
3. Reese's

Worst:
1. Circus Peanuts (You know... those orange, marshmallow ones)
2. Anything Coconut
3. Gobstoppers

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

Alright.... pretty good list with the reeses and whatchamacallits, but you went way off track with the candy corns.... Candy corn is solid vomit. It is one of the most god offal candies created by man.... I don’t think that I can even describe the taste besides saying it tastes like garbage.... It kind of has like a buttery kick at the end that no "sugary" candy should have unless it is chocolate. I have to put this out there.... I think that we need to start a thread talking about why candy corn is so bad, and I am sure it would get a lot of attention.... Candy corn ranks up there with black liquorish which is equally as offal. Anyways...... Yah dude everything besides the candy corn... That stuff is friggin offal!

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

those pumpkin shaped candy corn things are pretty good

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

While I'm not sure I'd give candy corn a top-three ranking, I find them rather addicting in the fall. Especially the ones that have a good separation between colors so you can eat the little white piece off the top then the yellow and save the brown for last.

And the different shapes are good too - pumpkins in the fall - I tormented my kids at Easter by buying a bag in Easter animal shapes- bunnies, chicks, duckies - all yummy, and all mine apparently after their reactions! :]

I think your critique is just a little harsh - but I know who to trick or treat with now... I also really like necco wafers and I'm not too fond of crunch bars so we could divvy the candy up quite well. :rolleyes:

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

best ;

- White Chocolate Crunch bars
-Aero bars ;)
-sour patch kids



worst;

-licorice
-dark chocolate
-anything marshmallowy

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

Now that is the right way to go.... Add candy corn to the worst, and you are pretty much my favorite post so far..... (aka I think that you have great tastes in candy)

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

I personally love candy corn. The only thing I dont like about it is that its almost impossible to get them other than around Halloween. I was really happy to find some for Easter this year.

Its hard to pick a top 2, I'd take almost anything not in my bottom three.


Bottom 2:
Anything with raisins
Any combination one wouldn't expect to have for candy (one Halloween I got a PB&J bar)

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

I like my air free and breathable. I wonder how much they save on chocolate costs by mixing air bubbles into the candy bar? :)

I always liked Dots - they often gave those out at Halloween.

ET had it right, though - Reese's Pieces are the best.

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

I agree dots are pretty good.... I usually can find them at the local CVS in the candy isle, but its not like you can just get a small package, you have to buy a big box, and that kind of stinks....

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

just to follow up on candies ;
Is there anyone out there thats a fan of AbbaZabba ?

(I had this obsession with them and then i got braces.. but now theyre off lol)

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

Best candy hands down is THE HEATH BAR!

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?

Going on...

2. York Peppermint Pattie
3. Extra Dark Chocolate

Worst:
1. Licorice

2 areo
3 smarties

Worst
1 popcorn jellybeans
2 black licorice
3 Coconut flavour anything

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

Yah... They are pretty good, but they have to be somewhat new (less then a year old) if they are too old, they get extremely hard and hurt your teeth... AbbaZabbas were huge in the movie Half Baked with Dave Chappelle if you have ever seen that....:) (Great Movie)

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?

1. Snickers
2. black licorice or black jelly beans, just as yum =]

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
 

There is a neat store here in Austin that has lots of candy bins, like the candy bins I used to see when I was young and lived in Kirkland Lake, Ontario, Canada. I could leave early for school and stop by and ooh and aah over all the colors and flavors in those glass jars and bins, nose pressed to the glass. Great memories.

When I shop in those bins and jars now, I shop for black licorice wheels. Those are great fun to eat.
Root and plant based candies such as licorice and ginger are pungent and strong - some would almost consider them medicine and they have been used for that as well. Licorice is not for the weak or faint of heart. (waxing poetic here) . :)

Re: What Is The Best/Worst Type of Candy?
