So what is your favorite candy bar?
When I was very young it was Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. As I grew older it became Snickers Bars.
Now my favorite candy is one that I make on special occasions, almonds covered in honey and stuffed into a date.
Nope - not even close. Clark bars are better by far.
I agree, but it's been awhile since I had a Clark Bar because they aren't sold west of the Mississippi (although fans can order them from several online sources, including the ubiquitous Amazon). I grew up in Pennsylvania and lived for many years in Pittsburgh, so I've eaten more than my fair share of Clark Bars for this lifetime. The candy bar was created in 1886 by Irish immigrant David L. Clark in Pittsburgh. His original formula is still used today even though the bar is now manufactured by NECCO.
His company also developed the Zagnut, a candy bar made of a kind of peanut brittle, dusted in cocoa and covered with toasted coconut. Zagnut bars are said to be one of the candies most often sent to Iraq and Afghanistan because it has no chocolate to melt. That candy bar is now made by Hershey's.
The building on Pittsburgh's North Side that housed the D.L. Clark Candy Company for generations is now the home of the Clark Bar and Grill, a popular sports bar located near Heinz Field and PNC Park.
My favorite cady is several See's options in Dark Chocolate. Bu tcandy bars woukld be Moiunds Bars, Hershey dark chocolte, and Milky Way (dark chocolate).
Of currently available candy bars I like caramel Almond Joy, Twix, Milky Way and M&Ms. I don't like regular Hershey bars, but I do like the milk chocolate Symphony in the red wrapper.
My absolute, most favorite candy bar got discontinued in the early 90s.
Unlike most peanut butter in candy bars that's all hard in a dry lump, the PBMax had peanut butter just like you would scoop out of a jar and spread on a sandwich. Apparently it got the axe because the Mars family didn't like peanut butter. RIP PBMax.
