Candy, Candy Bars and Chocolate

B00STED4V · 02-29-2008, 11:00 AM

Since the dawn of time, people have been eating "sweet stuff" to fill a certain craving that regular food wouldn't.
The ancient Greeks chewed mastiche a chewing gum made from the resin of the mastic tree. The Mayans chewed chicle which is the sap from the sapodilla tree, American Indians chewed the sap from spruce trees and passed the habit along to the settlers.
In 1854 The first packaged box of Whitman's chocolate debuts thus being the advent of boxed chocolates as we know them today.
In 1868 Richard Cadbury introduces the first Valentine's Day box of chocolates. In 1896 Tootsie Rolls debut, introduced by Leo Hirshfield of New York who named them after his daughter's nickname, "Tootsie".
In 1920 The Baby Ruth candy bar is introduced and is named for President Grover Cleveland's daughter not the famous baseball player.

more info here. Confectionary Timeline

Basically everyone likes candy, candy bars, chocolate and the like to atleast a certain extent. So what would you say would be your favorite candy, Candy bar, Chewing gum or Chocolate?

Just to name a few of mine...

Candy - Skittles, M&Ms
Candy Bar - Snickers, Good Humor
Chocolate - Godiva, Ghirardelli

Since there is basically a limitless amount of candy out there, this thread can't really have a Poll.

I very very rarely eat candy, but when I do it's almost always a Reese's. If I'm going to eat something that bad for me, it's going to be my favorite.

**DuckyBubbles05** · 02-29-2008, 06:13 PM

Hmmmmm.....

I like Reese's and Snickers for actual candy. I don't like hard candies like Jolly Ranchers or anything like that. And I love any kind of chocolate, especially dark!

**DuckyBubbles05** · 02-29-2008, 06:14 PM

Oh and the Russel Stover's chocolates......I really like the caramel filled ones!

Ernad · 02-29-2008, 08:38 PM

Candy and Candy Bars - not really
Chocolate - ooh la la, a few things here:
1. Dark chocolate with 60% to 80% cocoa (South American, African, European)
2. Milk chocolate (mostly European)
3. Choclate mixes like dark or milk or white and/or filled with raspberry/orange/almonds/nuts/etc stuff

And for the record, Hersheys tastes like puke.
