The Candy Mandate, or: The Heap Talks Treats

Crystal

I was just getting some candy and got to thinking what everybody else likes.

What are you favorite and least favorite candies and snacks?

• Three Musketeers
  
• A lot of mint things.
  
• Cookies, notably snickerdoodle, chocolate chip, mint, and white chocolate.

Anything with chocolate and peanut butter in it is grand, especially buckeyes. :3

Epitome

With the beau on stale Peeps. Those are baller.

Personal favourites are saltwater taffy of various sorts; toffee/almond Symphony bars; candy canes, particularly Bob's, especially peppermint and cherry although weirder flavours are welcome; knockoff Korean Pocky, snack mixes with wasabi peas and various Japanese bean pastries, which I got into before I went full weeb, thankyouverymuch; crème brûlée; all sorts of ice cream; roasted marshmallows and fresh s'mores; German chocolate and red velvet cake, although plain old chocolate with vanilla-almond icing will *certainly* do; petit-fours and fudge drop cookies, particularly from a certain bakery in Fox Chase; and cream mints, or really minty melting candies of any description.

oh i guess if we're talking snacks in general, im more of a salty snacks person (sweet stuff is ok in small amounts but i cant deal with stuff like anything larger than a slim slice of cake)

so in addition to the things mentioned, i like beef jerky, low sodium lays potato chips, nuts of all sorts, cheese and crackers...

Crystal

Yeah snacks in general. Like, I love white chocolate cookies, 3 Musketeers, can't stand Starburst, like spicy and cream and onion and plain chips in moderation... burnt cream is a gift from above... any bar-type snacks with coconuts are awful though. Also apples, bananas, pears, some other stuff, although those have also just been combined meals for me so it's a bit of an overlap.

It's "candy mandate" because I imagined how amusing it'd be to me if Princess Alice badgered The Handler for something like that, only for her to pass it through on her own terms (which are not as silly). I kept it because it's cute to me.

Creme Eggs and Crunchies

also jelly beans

i don't really snack on those though, they're a very occasional thing

for snacks i'm more likely to go for a bag of crisps, or fruit (apple, orange, grapes or banana, usually)

Toolsie

Chocolate raisins 

I fucking love chocolate raisins and could quite easily eat my body weight in them.

Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate, I <3 chocolate. About the only kind of chocolate I don't like, oddly enough, is Whitman's...it tastes weirdly plasticky. Beyond that, I can even deal with Hershey's or Easter-bunny chocolate if that's all that's available. Dark/unadorned chocolate is the best kind, though, and so I find myself eating a lot of 3 Musketeers and Lindt and Junior Mints.

Starburst I don't mind. Things with nuts other than peanuts I can take or leave (though Reese's anything is good). I like coconut, though.

i don't like sweets with peanut in them

not big on nuts in general, it seems kinda like eating wood?  not sure what the appeal is

almonds are nice though, and hazelnut is ok

i can eat salted peanuts.  peanut butter is awful though, it makes me gag

I am fine with peanut butter, but I think it's gross with chocolate

Tachyon

oh!

haribo fizzy cola bottles

when i was a kid, every sunday, dad would take me and my brother to the newsagent's to pick up a paper after church, and they used to have all these little boxes of haribo sweets behind the counter, a penny each, gummy bears, sugary fizzy cola bottles, those little ring things, fried egg type dealies, the ones that are a red heart on the front side and white on the back, you know?

we were allowed one little paper bag each, it ruled

peanut and chocolate should not be mixed, imo

Chocolate coated nuts are great. Chocolate brazils~

My mom.

Although she would be more specific and say peanut butter and chocolate. Or broaden it to any nut butter and chocolate: Nutella is her natural enemy.

Good candy/treats

thin mints

lindt truffles (dark chocolate, especially)

crunch bars

ginger chews

Dark chocolate in general, but I'm rather picky. Not a huge fan of Hershey, et cetera. 

those wafer candy things?

Does plain whipped cream count

and if so does hot cocoa with whipped cream, peppermint/candy cane crumbles, and cinnamon count also

CHOCOLATE COVERED RAISINS. I almost forgot those, but they are so good. 

Bad candy

low quality chocolate (shameless chocolate snobbery, but... I'll still eat shitty chocolate if it's available, I'll just be terribly disappointed and dissatisfied >_>;;)

everything with coconut in it

snickers

To Be Continued...

One time near the end of high school we made "chicken chocolate chip cookies" as a joke. The first person we served them to was the person who came up with the terrible idea. He said "These aren't chicken chocolate chip, are they?" and we all laughed like "of course not, that would truly be too absurd to be considered" and then he was like "Ok, good. Hey, this cookie is kinda...moist?" 

Crystal

Sounds amazing.

Haven

Someone later contended they might have been alright if we hadn't used seasoned chicken.
