Top 10 Favorite Candy Bars of All Time: Family Vacation 01

Top 10 Favorite Candy Bars of All Time: Family Vacation 01 August 2, 2015

So we are on family vacation right now, and I typically suspend all pretense of eating well during these things. A week or so of culinary hedonism is good for the soul right? I choose to think it is. So when my wife read me an article from the food section at The Huffington Post on the Best 25 Candy Bars of All Time, I was all ears. There are a lot of convenience stores between here & Kansas, so I’m always looking for ideas. That was, until I heard her picks: the #1 all time best candy bar was… wait for it… Milky Way.

Milky Way? Is she serious?

Milky Way was what you tried to pawn off in your kid brother after Halloween, “I’ll give you three Milky Ways for that snicker bar”… knowing full well that Christmas would roll around & he’d still be holding that Milky Way, waiting for the day he was desperate enough to actually eat it. She had Three Musketeers at #3, and she didn’t even list the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, nor was the Toblerone on the list. It’s a travesty! Milky way might be top 25, but there’s no way it’s number one.

By sales, the top 5 candy bars are: 5. Cadbury Dairy Milk ($2.5 billion), 4. Milka ($2.5 billion), 3. Galaxy/Dove ($2.6 billion), 2. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups ($2.7 billion), 1. Snickers ($3.6 billion). I can’t do a full list, but here’s my top ten. Feel free to give your opinion… although if you say Milky Way I will lose all respect :-).
