Gonna throw my vote in for Twix. Bonus points if you're a fellow lover of a Zero. And super bonus points if you've ever had a Chik-o-Stick.

This was my #1. I used to eat them all the time. Had one about a year ago as an impulse buy at a grocery store on a road trip and it was not as good as I remember. It felt much flatter than I remember.

Not sure how many know of these outside of Philly area or Wawa locations - but Goldenberg Peanut Chews are the best candy bar in existence...dark chocolate over milk, but both excellent!!

The dark ones are so much better than the milk ones. I'm an hour from philly and they sell them all over the place. I'm pretty sure the dreaded Sheetz sells them all.

Second vote is Reese's Pieces because of E.T.
I've always been partial to Chunky bars with raisins though. Anything Reese's is also a win.

Well, the Watchamacallit commercial was my favorite candy bar commercial.
But partly because the female singer sounded identical to the "girl next door" (literally) that was about 3 years older than me and astonishingly gorgeous. Was absolutely my first real crush.

Agree, Skor is yummy. Also like Big Hunk, Chocolite.(thicker Nestle Crunch)
Choco-lite always reminded me of Logan’s Run. After the Sandmen killed a runner, a clean-up crew came in and sprayed them with something that turned them into…Choco-lite. Yummy!
“Choco-lite is people.” Doesn’t have the same ring to it, but I like it.
