Mine is Goldenbergs Peanut Chews original dark chocolate. I’m not a dark chocolate fan but Goldenbergs are the one and only exception.

Cracker Barrel sells them and they are available on line.

Peanut Chews were developed and, during most of their history, manufactured by the Goldenberg Candy Company, which was founded by a Romanian immigrant, David Goldenberg, in 1890.

Peanut Chews were first introduced in 1917. The candies were originally developed for use by the U.S. military as a ration bar during World War I. The high-energy, high-protein recipe and unique taste made it popular with the troops.

In 1921, Harry Goldenberg introduced the first wrapped Peanut Chews candy for retail sales. In the 1930s, the candy was converted from a full-size bar to small individual pieces.

In 1949, Harry and Sylvia Goldenberg (2nd generation) purchased the Peanut Chews Division of D. Goldenberg, Inc., to focus solely on the production of Peanut Chews candies. In 2003, Just Born, Inc., a Bethlehem, Pennsylvania–based candy company, purchased the Peanut Chews brand and the Northeast Philadelphia manufacturing facility.

Snickers. I like peanut butter and I like chocolate, but for some reason don’t care for the combo. A close second is almond joy.

I used to like the Sky Bar. You could cut it into 4 separate bars: vanilla, peanut, caramel, and fudge.

It was discontinued in 2018, but it came back last year.

Just kidding. Not a candy BAR, but the most delicious I know of is Enstrom’s milk chocolate-covered Almond Toffee. Oh, YUM! Buy it fresh in Denver or have it mailed to you (but not in Florida in the summer).

After time in Europe my chocolate preferences changed a bit and now I enjoy Belgian and Swiss chocolate, especially with truffles or hazelnuts added. Much of the "Swiss" chocolate sold in the USA is not manufactured in Switzerland but manufactured under license here. There is a difference in taste.
