Mmmmm 3 Musketeers

3 Musketeers is my favorite candy bar.

It's not too chocolately.
It has no peanuts to get stuck in my teeth.
It's not filled with a dozen freakish ingredients like cookies, coconut or raisins.

What 3 Musketeers has is a certain purity, comprised solely of chocolate and nougat.

(As a side note, I dearly love the two best peanut-butter candy bars, Butterfingers and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but 3 Musketeers is my favorite.)

Here's the thing. When I was growing up, 3 Musketeers came in a white paper wrapper. It was awesome. The wrapper was fun to open and smelled of candy bar and paper. The foil wrappers they introduced some years ago don't smell like anything and basically suck.

The end.

I also like Reese's PB cups. Skor bars in the freezer are, if I may, da bomb. For a long time I listed Twix as my favorite, but I've gained a fondness for Whatchamacallit. Also plain M&Ms, and the new dark ones.

When pressed for my all-time favorite, though, I'd have to say the Cadbury Creme Eggs at Easter are the top.

Oooh! Skor and Heath bars are awesome, especially cold. I like the way you think.

I really like Cadbury Creme eggs but they've been replaced as my favorite easter candy by the completely awesome, I've actually eaten a whole bag in one sitting, Whopper's Robin Eggs. I've already had four bags or so this season and I'm diabetic.

Those are good, too! However (too much detail coming...), malt tends to make me poop. A lot.

Thanks for the heads-up, Erik. We'll be sure to watch your candy intake at Babycon this year.

Actually, that was Jeff. Still, good thinking.
