For me it would be candy corn, or dots.

M&M's, Reese's, skittles

All in the same bowl

White chocolate Reese's peanut butter cups.

Whoppers never make it to the bowl on my house. They're too good.

They're like Maltesers

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 hours ago

Thin chocolate coating on the outside, crunchy malted milk on the inside that will sort of melt in your mouth if you can resist chewing it. They are delicious and used to always come in a paper carton.

Joke's on you, I loved munching on those as a kid, they're basically savory candy!

If you're reading this and have never tried this, get some, it's a religious experience. You might find god. God might be a very sick cat.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 hours ago

Some of that is amazing.

If you ever see a Pantteri Mix bag, pick one up.

Some or most salty licorice is pretty shit tho imo

Whoppers are good but the risk of getting a bad one is not worth it. Ech

[–] [email protected] 12 points 14 hours ago

Airheads.

They taste like I imagine flavored window caulking would.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

This is correct

[–] [email protected] 25 points 17 hours ago

Bouillon Cubes

Whoppers are 95% great. It's that gross 5% that really makes me savor the rest.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Are you taking about those weird chewy ones? Because those are my favorites.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 14 hours ago

I found my people here.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 19 hours ago

Yea, the periodic weird one really makes it an exciting gamble.

How about circus peanuts?

The first bite of circus peanuts tastes to me like an alien artificial intelligence had to create a sugary treat and only had petroleum by-products to make it with.

The second bite tastes like accepting your fate.

This is so wrong! Love sucking on them Whoppers

[–] [email protected] 7 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Did you mean to imply fellatio?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago) (1 children)

Frick no!

But for real though, I suck on the whoppers and let the malt center dissolve. Only downside is sometimes it makes the roof of your mouth rawπŸ˜‚

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 hours ago

You know what's up

[–] [email protected] 17 points 18 hours ago

WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS SLANDER

[–] [email protected] 9 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

What you do is you let them dissolve in your mouth, do that and they turn into at least an A tier candy trust

How about those stale tar-like hard candies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 hours ago

Molasses candy

Lavender candy

Professionally wrapped chocolate covered brussel sprouts.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Lol, you're something else, candy corn?? That stuff is vile.

The worst I can say about dots is they're just sugar, albeit glued to paper.

Will you come organize my candy bowl this year? πŸ˜†

[–] [email protected] 14 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

In the US, dots are hard gumdrops.

Also, if your candy corn sucks, it's because it's not Brach's.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

In the US dots can also refer to candy buttons as well as the gross gumdrops

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I like the gross gumdrops, but I don't care for the acid blotters.

You really need to try mixing the candy corn with salted peanuts. πŸ‘οΈπŸ‘„πŸ‘οΈπŸ‘Œ

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 hours ago

I was gonna say the same. Always hated candy corn till someone had me try this.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 17 hours ago

Chunky bars. Kids like raisins in their chocolate, right?
