What's Your Favorite Candy?

[Leith]

My favorite of all time is plain M&Ms.

Second is Maple Nut Goodies.

What's yours? It doesn't have to be fancy. Just something you make sure not to run out of.

[Skittles]

1. SHOULD I GIVE YOU A HINT?

[Leith]

6. Heh Heh Heh

Gee! I dunno!

[Major Nikon]

48. Educated guess...

[dawg]

59. Pretty sure it's these ...

[lapucelle]

120. I don't get it.

[Skittles]

121. well, my DU name is Skittles

but lately I have been getting into these gems: chocolate ball with candy inside, along with a couple of stickers.....cool!

[Hayduke Bomgarte]

2. Turtles

[Laffy Kat]

3. Right now it's M&Ms.

Mainly because I can get a choco. rush w/o loads of calories and sugar. If I wasn't afraid of developing diabetes, I would eat high-quality dark chocolate truffles. Godiva. Oh, and now there's this brand spanking new chocolate store across the street and down the block from my house called Stam Chocolatiers that is to die for, better than Godiva's IMO. Dangerous.

[rsdsharp]

102. We've had Stam stores in the Des Moines area for years.

For special occasions I'll get her a pound of the dark chocolate butter cream truffles called hedgehogs. They are her favorites. I order on line and have them delivered because they look at you like you're an idiot when you order a pound of the same thing in the stores, and then take 20 minutes to pack them.

Stam leaves Godiva in the dust.

[Laffy Kat]

106. I didn't realize it was a chain.

At any rate, I'm happy (I think?) that I have one so close to me.

[rsdsharp]

110. It isn't really a chain, but in the last few years

they've been expanding, and some of the stores in the US are franchised.

They started as a family business in Amsterdam more than a hundred years ago. They are now a corporation, but they still use the family recipes.

[Laffy Kat]

111. I can tell. Nothing mass produced about those confections.

Man, it's good.

[nevergiveup]

4. "Old Henry"

candy bars.

[First Speaker]

5. Reese's peanut butter cups

[OriginalGeek]

117. Always and forever

As much as I love other candy, nothing beats a slightly chilled, full size Reese's.

Except maybe 4 of them.

[Dulcinea]

124. Have you tried the white chocolate ones?

Normally I'm not a fan of white chocolate, but the white Reese's cups straight out of the freezer are an orgasm for the mouth.

I love all things chocolate & peanut butter. And Snickers. I don't understand people who say they don't eat chocolate.

[First Speaker]

125. Oh yeah...white chocolate is very cool...

...though generally, pure chocolate of any kind is a little too sweet for me. I prefer it with a contrasting taste--the peanut butter, or white frosting on a chocolate cake, or even a little whipped cream over chocolate fudge. And I think, with great satisfaction, of all the solemn members of the Food Police who'd stop me from enjoying this if they could...

Yum.

[CentralMass]

11. The Payday seems to be my goto candy bar.

[forgotmylogin]

41. I like it too.

It could almost be justified as a decent snack due to peanuts. The saltiness is appealing also!

[Luciferous]

12. Snickers

[Phoenix61]

13. Twix

The perfect combo of candy and cookie.

14. Mounds for junk candy.

Lindt chocolates for the better stuff.

I'm all anal and dice them up and put them in my plain Greek yogurt.

[Hoyt]

16. M&Ms would be perfect right now, as would Heath Bars or some lime hard suckers.

Donuts would be good too. Left out bubble gum.

[Wawannabe]

17. Dark choc covered COFFEE beans

(Not to be confused with covfefe beans)

AND maple nut goodies, too!
I can eat the whole damn bag in a short time. Put em down..go back...put em down ...go back. Addicting!

[FM123]

18. Gummy Bears

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

19. I used to adore Mallo Cups.

Back when I was young they were larger and taller than the recent incarnation, although the formulation of chocolate and marshmallow filling is pretty much the same.

I can sometimes find them at various outlets, but they are almost always stale, with the marshmallow filling old and hard. Sigh. Maybe I should just order them online.

I also loved Welch's fudge.

These days I'll settle for a Baby Ruth, but again, all too often they are stale and almost inedible.

[zanana1]

75. I didn't think they still made Mallo cups.

And Welch's Fudge was fabulous.
Now I have a craving for Mallo cups.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

80. Yes, they do.

You can order them on line. Sometimes I'll see them in the candy section of a convenience store, but I've stopped buying them there as they are often stale, the marshmallow filling very hard.

I've never ordered on-line, but I'd hope that source they'd be a lot fresher.

[doc03]

122. I saved Mallo Cup coins back in the day, never got enough

for a free Mallo Cup.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

123. Clearly you didn't consume enough.

I did, more than once. It helped that the rule about whatever monetary amount of those coins you needed was helped by the fact that every so often "coins" of a larger denomination would show up.

[Kahuna7]

20. Snickers. nt

[area51]

21. Does fudge count as candy?

If not, York peppermint patties or Reece's peanut butter cups.

[zanana1]

76. If fudge is candy, then Swiss Fudge is to die for.

Sometimes I make it myself, but it always tastes better if somebody else makes it.

[Freddie]

22. 2 kinds of candy, "chocolate" and "other"

Chocolate: Twix or Mounds
Other: Twizzlers or Werther's chewy caramels

[mithnanthy]

23. I'm probably a rare person.

I don't like sweets of any kind. I like lemons and vinegar. But i am a nice person. What's up with DAT?

[zanana1]

77. I don't understand.

I just don't understand!

[becca da bakkah]

24. I've Always Had a Major Sweet Tooth.....

...or should I say "fang"!? My favorites are, in no particular order, Milky Way, Butterfingers, Cherry-A-Lets (much better than Big Cherry bars, IMO), Rocky Road for chocolate and marshmallow...but not the mint variety. Marshmallow & mint...UGH! For mint and chocolate I adore York Peppermint Patties, and always keep those in the house. Boyer's Peanut Butter cups. Far superior to Reese's, again IMO....IF you can find them.

M&M's; plain and peanut, Mounds, Almond Joy, Forever Yours, now called Milky Way Dark, I believe. A name change not for the better, if you ask me. Baby Ruth, Payday, and Snickers. The ones I will pass on every time are Nestles Crunch, and anything Hershey's.

I just got back my latest blood glucose results. Surprisingly, I'm NOT diabetic! Yippee!!

[Lotusflower70]

37. Say what?

What is a Cherry-A-Lets?

[becca da bakkah]

65. Sorry For My Slow Reply......

....I had to wade through candy wrappers to get to the computer, don't you know! Cherry-A-Lets are a now defunct candy bar, popular back in the 1950's and 60's. A medium-size mound of milk chocolate, with finely chopped peanuts, cherry paste, and a candy cherry in the center. Do a google, probably a better description there than I could give. They seem to have been replaced with Big Cherry candy, an inferior product, IMO. A fond memory from my childhood.

[Lotusflower70]

67. Lol

I had to pick up some candy wrappers as well. Thanks for the description, I appreciate it. I tried to Google didn't have much luck. Thought I might ask my mom as well since she grew up in the 50's. Childhood memories are so cool.

[WinkyDink]

44. Sugar can do a number on organs other than the pancreas.

[becca da bakkah]

66. Indeed! Agree Totally.....

....Sugar, by far, is more damaging than fat. There is "good fat", but I've never heard of good sugar. Trouble is, it's highly addictive. Some say even more so than heroin.

[Still Blue in PDX]

83. Anything like cherry Mountain bars?

I bet I haven't had one in over 50 years, but I have a sudden craving. I forgot they even existed, but the words "cherry" and "bar" in close proximity brought the memory rushing back.

[LeftInTX]

25. Milk Duds and Turtles

I also like pistachio nougat and salt water taffy

I don't keep any of this in my house!!

[Freddie]

30. A sad story about Milk Duds

Another one of my favorites.
Couple days after Halloween I'm watching my grandkids and eyeballing the contents of their overflowing goodie bags. The 2-year-old must have had at least TEN of those little boxes of Milk Duds...he's not going to miss them, right? A delightful snack while watching the election results in a few days! So I stuffed them in my purse. Tuesday night started bad and of course kept getting worse. Forgot all about my snack.
Couple days later, done crying, found the Milk Duds in my purse. A reminder of how quickly things change. Ate them anyway.

[eppur_se_muova]

85. I loved the original Milk Duds.

The new version, not so much, but I try then from time to time.

I also loved Black Cows as a kid, partly because I could only get them at Grandmother's, which meant once a year at best.

[kimbutgar]

26. Red vines licorice

They are my bad candy. I only allow myself 3 at a time.

[Jack-o-Lantern]

27. Dark-chocolate covered orange peels.

[furtheradu]

28. My Mama's PEANUT BUTTER FUDGE

But it only happens at Christmas.

[DarthDem]

29. Oh, So Many

I'll say Reese's Pieces, but . . .

I also dig lemon footballs, Smarties, Spree (the non-chewy kind that are basically akin to Sweetarts), Tic-Tacs, Tootsie-Roll pops, root beer barrels, and Dots. I have a slight allergy to chocolate so I only have M&Ms every now and then, but those would make the list as well.

[TlalocW]

31. REESE'S!!!

Reese's anything!!!

For non-chocolatey goodness, I like Brach's Jelly Nougats. Those can be kind of hard to find as a lot of grocery stores don't have Brach stations anymore where you can fill a sack with miscellaneous candies, but a nearby grocery store put one in, which made me happy until I took a sack of candy up to the register, and the teen running the register called them, "Braks," instead of, "Brocks."

Hot tamales, cinnamon fire jolly ranchers, gummi bears and lifesavers, sour patch kids, red vines, twizzler's, jelly belly jelly beans, sour straws, cinnamon bears

[jmowreader]

40. Two kinds, really...

If I'm not feeling super motivated, Ghirardelli squares.

If I AM feeling super motivated, the hard candy I make myself. It is both very easy and very dangerous. Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:
2 cups granulated sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup - get non-foodservice Karo, it has no HFCS in it and all the others do
1 one-dram bottle of Lorann Candy Oil flavoring
Gel food coloring in whatever compliments the flavor
Nonstick cooking spray
Powdered sugar

You MUST use these flavors and colors - regular baking extracts and liquid food coloring won't survive the heat.

Equipment:
For almost all flavors:
Hard candy funnel - this is in two pieces, a funnel and a rod with a ball on the end which serves as a valve
Silicone spatula
Candy thermometer
Hard candy molds - they are white, DO NOT USE CHOCOLATE MOLDS FROM WILTON FOR THIS BECAUSE THEY WILL MELT!!!! I usually need six sheets of molds to handle one batch

If you are stupid enough to try making mint or cinnamon flavors
Army surplus gas mask with good filters

My recipe differs somewhat from the one everyone else uses in a couple of ways, and I'll explain why in a second. The "official" recipe calls for 1 cup of water; you stir the corn syrup into the water, heat it up then start adding sugar.

My version omits the water. You simply measure the corn syrup into a pot, heat it until it's as thin as water, then melt your sugar into it.

Once all the sugar is in, start stirring it until it boils. Once it starts to boil, it's self-stirring and you can just sit there scraping down the sides of the pan because the hot mess will throw sugar crystals off; if you don't get them back into the syrup and melted they will give you grainy candy.

In either case, your mixture will undergo a phase transformation at somewhere around 210 degrees F, where it will become a "boiling liquid." If you put no water in your candy, the transformation is a nice orderly affair; at 205 degrees F it'll be a nice runny hot liquid and at 210 it'll start bubbling. If you put water in it, when this crap hits 210 it will immediately attempt to boil over no matter how big your pot is and it will keep on doing that until you reach 220F. So leave the water out, m'kay?

Once the candy gets into a nice boil, you no longer need to stir it as it'll do that all by itself. Stick a candy thermometer in it and scrape down the sides of the pan. (The best way to scrape the sides of the pan is to stick the end of your silicone spatula into the boiling candy then kinda make an arcing motion up and down the side of the pan. Try it and it'll make sense to you.)

While the candy is boiling and you're scraping, put on this wonderful and quite appropriate educational film and spray your molds with a little nonstick spray, then wipe them out with a paper towel. You'll be up to temp by the time it's over.

&t=404s

Eventually the candy will reach 260 degrees. Add some color. The motion of the candy as it boils will stir it in for you. Then pick up your bottle of flavor and...

Anything but mint or cinnamon: pour the whole bottle in. It contains less than a teaspoon of flavoring and it'll be plenty.

Mints or cinnamon: don your Army gas mask and add HALF - no more - of the bottle to the candy. I am not shitting about the gas mask either; the fumes coming off a five-pound batch of mint candy would have been enough to clear Ammon Bundy's friends out of Malheur. (I have no idea how anyone survives a stint in a candy cane factory...for some reason, I doubt the M17A1 is NSF-approved.)

The other change I make is to target temperature. Most recipes will tell you to take the syrup to 310F - "hard crack" stage. I very rarely do that; sugar begins to caramelize at 300F, so you wind up with a brown candy. Keep this in mind if you're making a flavor that should be brown, like chocolate or root beer. For every other flavor, 285F - "soft crack" gives you a candy that's still hard but is much prettier to look at.

Spray your funnel and the valve rod with non-stick spray. Put it in a coffee cup and pour in your candy. Then fill each little indentation in your molds one-by-one. Once they're full, just let them cool down.

Get either a container with a lid or a gallon-size ziploc bag, and put a cup or so of powdered sugar in it. Unmold your candy into said container and shake it around to coat the candy with powdered sugar - this sops up any oil on the candy's surface. Then dump candy, sugar and all into a sieve and shake gently to get most of the sugar off.

42. Has anyone tried sohan papdi? (soan papdi?)

It's an Indian treat that is like nothing I've ever tried before.

I would describe it as "Imagine if someone made cotton candy out of butter flavored with cardamom and compressed it into a block like fiberglass insulation about the size of a very small brownie or piece of fudge." It's buttery spiced gossamer fibers that dissolve in your mouth. That doesn't sound appealing at all, but it seriously is delectable.

[left-of-center2012]

45. What are those green things on it that look like pickle? n/t

[forgotmylogin]

56. The green is sliced pistachio nuts

Ground or sliced almonds are often also added.

Believe me, if it had anything to do with pickle I'd steer far away.

I watched a video, it's basically sugar cooked to the soft ball stage, flavored with ghee and cardamom, then pulled like taffy and looped and folded and stretched over and over until it starts breaking instead of stretching into what looks like Rapunzel's blond hair. Then it is fluffed and separated into strands which are packed like spaghetti into a mold or a tray and compressed and allowed to dry.

When you eat it, it falls apart into threads or flakes which melt on the tongue.

Here's a picture of three people working together stretching it as it approaches the "hairlike" stage.







As I said, it's the most unusual thing I've tasted and can only describe as "delicious edible fiberglass insulation".

[LeftInTX]

87. Yum-yum sounds really good. Maybe I can find it at my Indian store

I was all excited to try gulab jaman. (Fried milk balls) I bought them, but they were soaked in rosewater. Rosewater is a big turn off for me.

There is also a similar Turkish treat called pişmaniye. I frequent a Middle Eastern store and they have a large Turkish candy section, so I will hopefully find it there.

[Danmel]

113. When we were in Israel, we had shredded halvah

It was like halvah cotton candy, melted in your mouth. Delicious. I also had halvah gelato.
I improvised a dessert with vanilla ice cream, shredded halvah and silan date syrup. I try to go light on sweets. I'm a very small woman and a few pounds really make a difference.
I do have a fondness for Cadbury milk chocolate mini eggs. Fortunately they are only around at Easter and most years, it overlaps Passover and they aren't kosher for Passover.

[eppur_se_muova]

86. Damn, now I have to try it !

How does that compare to, say, kataifi or halwah ? It sounds kind of intermediate between the two.

Ooh, Wikipedia led me to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pi%C5%9Fmaniye a.k.a "Turkish cotton candy" and the related "Chinese cotton candy" and "Persian cotton candy". Will have to look for recipes.

[LeftInTX]

89. I just looked into pismaniye

It should be available at Middle Eastern stores. Our local ME store has a large Turkish candy section. And it looks like pismaniye is mass produced and packaged.

[forgotmylogin]

91. I've not tried those,

but from the sites you linked, kataifi looks a bit more like shredded wheat possibly closer to baklava, and halwah looks almost like a rough pudding similar to grits or a chutney?

Soan papdi is commonly available pre-made and packaged as a sweet in international grocery stores.

Here's a home kitchen video of making soan papdi, though not in English the ingredients are specified and it shows how to get sugar to soft-ball stage without a thermometer, and you can see the texture of the finished product at the beginning and how much kneading and stretching is required.
I bet it's delicious home made though!

[eppur_se_muova]

98. Halwah has been compared to sweet peanut butter in texture ...

depending on how it's made, it can feel very fibrous, a little gritty, or fairly smooth but crunchy. It's firm enough to cut into slices or chunks, and sometimes served that way following a meal at Middle Eastern restaurants.

It's fairly commonly pre-packaged in Middle Eastern stores, delis and even some supermarkets. I've found plain, carob, and pistachio in delis. But the best (and best deals) tend to be in specialty Middle Eastern stores.

Thanks for the link. There are obviously a lot of ingredients in common among these sweet treats; boiled-down sugar and butter/ghee seem to be the crucial ingredients.

[LeftInTX]

116. I bought a bag of pismaniye...boy is it good!!!!!!

You can order it off Amazon.

That stuff was so addictive......

97. I first ate one in PA in the 1950's

I was a child and don't recall the brand.

This past week I bought something similar here in N.M. (which was a Mexican 'confection')
but it was not as sweet as the American candy.

50. I keep a bag of Snickers in the freezer...

... for when I feel the need of a sugar hit. Anything Truffle when I feel fancy. Frozen Snickers not as good as frozen Milky Ways, but the latter are too sweet for my tastes.

52. Atomic Fireballs. Also, those fudge-striped shortbread cookies from the Dollar Tree.

Atomic Fireballs are hard to find, because Pan Ferrara does not pay for shelf space in the mainstream media - I mean, grocery stores - as Hershey's and Mars do. The last time I saw them was at the Dollar Tree. They're gone from DT now too.

Little rectangles of white chocolate with finely ground pure coffee running through it.

Before they sold the company, I knew the founders, a very smart young couple from Sprout City. They sold out to another Belgian company for a fortune, but their store and products have remained remarkably constant. I still get asked by friend all over Europe and the USA to bring a box of these things with me when I visit.

The venerated old shop of Wittamer (wee-tah-MAIR) up on the Sablon has a very impressive white chocolate creation, too. It is bar #8:
https://www.wittamer.com/en/shop/bars-6-10
My sister back in the States has unfortunately acquired an uncontrollable addition to their number 8 bar with the raspberry taste, and she goes though withdrawal symptoms if I don't furnish a fix for her on a regular basis.
If anyone visits Sprout City, it's the lower down of the two Wittamer shops--NOT the one with all the lunch snacks and the cakes. Ask to try one of their assorted chocolates with the green-white covering and the passion fruit pulp interior--they are impressive, too.

I could never, ever, find it in NYC or Washington DC. Apparently, they were a southern thing because they could survive the heat and not melt.
