Favorite Foods: Vol 4

Candy Bars are not only bars.  They can be small, long, square, or circular chunks, but are in perfect snack sized packages.  They are usually chocolate based and mixed with one or two other ingredients.  Here is my list of favorites:

Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
Reese's Pieces - I pronounce it 'Ree-sees Pee-sees'
M & M's - Plain, I sort them into colors before I eat
Snickers - Nugget, caramel and peanuts
Milky Way - Nugget and caramel
3 Musketeers - Just plain nugget
Hershey Bar - Plain, but great milk chocolate
Hershey Kisses - Same great chocolate in a cool form
Twix - Absolutely the worst nutrition-wise
PayDay, Nutrageous and Baby Ruth - All nutty! What is the difference between these?
Kit Kat - Break me off a piece
Butterfinger - Hey, don't you lay a finger...
Heath Bar and Skor - They are the same darn toffee thing!
Whatchamacallit - Crispy crunchies with a caramel and peanut butter
Krackel - Chocolate with crispy crunchies throughout, I wish they sold larger forms of this
Crunch - Nestlé’s larger version of Hershey's Krackel
Raisinets - Addicting
Zero - I always think this should be frozen at zero degrees
York Peppermint Patty - Mint is an acquired taste and can also make me sneeze!
Tootsie Roll - To the left, to the left...

Chocolate Company Winner: Hershey's
Second Place: Mars
Third Place: Nestle

Ice Cream


The picture on the left is just about the perfect ice cream dessert for me.  It is found at Friendly's and includes:

1. Waffles
2. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
3. Reese's Pieces
4. Peanut Butter Sauce
5. Whipped Cream
6. Cherry
7. Two scoops of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup ice cream

Ice cream has become more and more a special treat for me especially with all of the new specialty items out there.  Just like in the fro-yo shops, there are many flavor choices and toppings to choose from. It's not just a simple vanilla and chocolate Dixie Cup.  I feel like I have more options, and with variety, I enjoy the experience more.  This is true about most food and is dangerous because I will eat more and don't get sick of it.

Any ice cream with peanut butter and/or chocolate involved is great for me, as long as the toppings are abundant. 

Here are some other flavors and goodies worth checking out:

Ben & Jerry's Karamel Sutra - Core of Soft Caramel Encircled by Chocolate and Caramel Ice Creams and Fudge Chips

Nestle Drumstick - A complicated ice cream cone that is more chocolaty goodness than ice cream.

Chipwich - Where-oh-where is the original found?  These were bought out by Nestle and now have their own Toll House cookie version.  The original is the best: two chocolate chip cookies sandwiching vanilla ice cream and chocolate chips around the edges of the ice cream.
