Since it's Easter, I thought I'd start a thread about what sort of candies everyone enjoys. Not necessarily just for Easter, but whenever. My list of favorites:

1) Ice Breakers Sours: I'm addicted to these things. I buy a pack a week.

2) Gum. Usually Dentyne Ice, but I buy other brands too, whenever they're on sale. I'm not too picky here.

3) Reese's Peanut Butter cups: actually, not the normal cups. Those are, IMO, the lowest form of Reese's. Well, after the waxy formed items, that is. The best is the seasonal candies - eggs, trees, pumpkins, whatever. They have the perfect balance of chocolate to peanut butter, and are almost always extremely fresh. The small foil-wrapped Reese's are good (when they're fresh), and the Fast Break bars are good too, as are Reese's Pieces. They also make extremely good Reese's cookies, as well as the Nutrageous bars, and the Reese's Sticks, and... Ok, enough Reese's stuff, I guess :)

4) Milky Way bars.

5) Dove dark chocolate - currently my favorite 'plain' chocolate. It has a nice sharpness that I like.

Other than the key lime mints my favorite Mexican restaurant passes out with its bills, I haven't had any candy in six months or so--since I was diagnosed with diabetes. My wife has put some life savers in my car for hypoglycemia episodes, but I' scared they'll sneak out and strangle me.

Were I normal, I'd prefer dark chocolate, orange slices or fresh pecan pralines.

Man, you guys are making me want to go buy candy. I am very fond of the black licorice flavored Jelly Belly beans.

If you're ever near Fairfield, CA go visit the Jelly Bell Factory. Some cool stuff there.

Never been there. I've been to Hershy, Penn. I'd recommend it.

Hey Sagio, I thought I was the only peeps fan here. They have to be a bit stale to be good eating IMHO.

Jawbreakers. Not the cheap ones found in the grocery store, but the good old fashioned big solid ones. Melt slow enough so they don't jack up my sugar and you sure can't smoke with one in your mouth.
