I remember Mallow cups, which were marshmallow. All the rest were great too.

My favorite, probably only in the South were

Tom's peanut butter bars

Now that I am a grown up, Gimme dark chocolate. Somebody ate my dark choc reeses on the sly and replaced them with milk chocolate ones.
That is Criminal behavior.

I never invested enough time eating junk to develop a favorite. I didn't think it was that important in the overall scheme of things. And I didn't get fat so I guess I should feel left out, but I don't. I feel healthy.

Eating candy promotes weight gain and diabetes.

I don't know, I've always thought Yankee Doodles were the breakfast of champions.

I assume you're joking. What's a Yankee doodle? Is that what the Yankees did when they went to the men's room?

I occasionally buy a bar of baking chocolate (it's sugarless of course). Then once or twice a week I'll melt a small amount (thumb-nail size) in cooked steel-cut oats. Then I'll add some chopped nuts. Mmmm! I guess you could say that's my favorite chocolate bar.

Nope, not joking, but I only ate the organic not farmed version. It's all good.
