Favorite Candy Bar 🍫

[ProudDad17]

As a kid one my favorite memories was when we went to the BX an mom said "yes" to getting a candy bar. A Whatchamacallit for me, a York patty for mom and (ugh) a 3 Musketeers for my older brother (He's still a weirdo). Wish the Whatchamacallit was still around. Today, any variety of Reese's is my go to.

But for something a bit off the beaten path, there's this:

And a good bar with dark chocolate with salted caramel.

Enstrom Candies (a Colorado-based company) almond toffee. So, so, so, so good!

Hershey kisses paired with a grocery store Merlot. This should be on the dessert menu of finer restaurants.

I forgot to mention this one, in either dark or milk chocolate. The chocolate is very smooth, and there is a satisfyingly huge number of nuts per square bar.

Dark chocolate goes well with red wine.

I've not seen the potato chip one, but will have to look for it. The one with the Reese's pieces is great.

Some have mentioned red wine and/or bourbon with chocolate. I really don't like chocolate so I will have a glass of bourbon (neat) and a glass of red wine to wash it down and leave the chocolate for all of you...

One of my favorite dessert combos: Port and dark chocolate. Mmm….

Apparently, a good pairing for peanut butter is Cabernet. So the next time I have a Reese’s…hmmm…

My older brother used to serve Reese’s with brunello di montalcino whenever I visited.

Good stuff.

Just looked it up. Stuff ain’t cheap. But I’m game to try! ☺️ Thanks for the tip.

No kidding. I never bought it. He used to buy it by the case for 2k.

Probably 13 years ago my brother introduced me to red wines with an expensive bottle. I swore it off when I drank half a gallon of cheap stuff in 1985 and got the worst headache.

He had a different price range than I did! I went with Kendall Jackson Cabernet Sauvignon. Loved it.

Now I only drink cheap stuff. Gallo Family Hearty Burgundy. Unbelievably good. 55 bucks a case. He drinks that now too.

@WT Door would probably join me in saying why not go for Sassicaia or Ornellaia if you’re in the mood. I could afford those when I was stationed there and liras were weak. Now, it’s a major splash. But fabulous with chocolate anything. Or - at the other end of the $ spectrum, Apothic Red, just fine with chocolate. Inexpensive doesn’t always mean cheap rotgut.

Lol Sassicaia is the expensive wine he got me hooked on - served with dark chocolate. Better than candy.

It is nectar of the gods good.

My brother just told me he was in Annapolis on a business trip (unrelated to Navy) in 2000. Saw a liquor store in Annapolis going out of business. Bought 1996 sassicaia - 36 bottles for 4k. Was so happy.

We can all agree perhaps that the worst candy bar is three musketeers.

No we can not!

 

[A1Janitor]

No we can not!

I am so sorry. I hate when people miss deadlines. It stands.
