Favorite candy?
Mr. Kleeb's unholy love of circus peanuts and all the threads about hating this and that inspired this rare positive UDL thread. As I mention on John's thread, I'm lately obsessed with Jolly Rancher gummies. Also crazy mad about Hershey's Cookies 'n' Cream, but they're so sweet even I (the fellow who ate 10X sugar by the tablespoonful as a kid) have to go a little easy. You?

11. It's close..
Butterfinger is SOOOOOO excellent.

Then again, the hospital I'm rotating through this semester has Ice Cream Fridays, where all hospital workers get a free cold treat from the freezer. This past Friday, I tried a frozen Snickers ice cream bar. Delicious!

26. Oh! My! God! Even the store-brand ones are good!
Also the raspberry-flavored ones (though the key lime one was a little odd).

33. Violet Crumble...
...this delicious Australian honeycomb dipped in chocolate that is kind of like a Crunchie but OH so much nicer. When the fam used to come visit from Perth, my mom would make them bring it by the ton.

And 72% Chocolat Suisse with bits of cocoa bean.

AND black licorice.

Hungry now. Must go find something sweetish.

39. Toblerone....
too bad they're expensive here in the US.

Symphony bars are an unreasonable substitute.

I also love Parma violets.
