Katie's Top Ten Favorite Candies

1.) Butterfinger - Don't lay a finger. Seriously, I love Butterfinger. By itself or crumbled on top of White Chocolate Mousse frozen yogurt (right, Izzy?), this is the best candy ever.
2.) Peanut Butter M&M's - I love the chocolate/peanut butter combination, and this is the best form of it in my opinion. The peanut butter is way more sugary than real peanut butter - just the way I like it.
3.) Swedish Fish - I could eat these all day long. BUT I only like the red ones, so don't give me that lame "assorted colors" bag.

4.) Cadburry Mini Eggs - I think this is the only candy that appears on both Gib's and my list. These are SOOO good, and probably better because they play hard-to-get and are available only around Easter time.

5.) Plain M&M's - This might be a pretty boring pick, but I prefer to think of it as a "classic" pick. Melting M&M's in the microwave makes them even better. (But it also causes them to melt in your hands AS WELL AS your mouth...catch-22.)

6.) Hot Tamales - Lots of people think these are gross, but I think they are great. I love cinnamon flavor.
7.) Dove Caramel Promises - Dove chocolate filled with caramel. I can't decide if I like peanut butter or caramel better as an accompaniment to chocolate. Both are fantastic.

8.) Dark Chocolate Nonpareils - These remind me of going to the movies, but I prefer the real ones over the Snow Caps version. I feel like this choice makes me an old person...thoughts?
9.) Jelly Belly - First of all, shouldn't it be Jelly Bellies? I have always pluralized it, but no: google told me it's singular. Anyway, I think these are the most fun candies to eat, because you never know what you're going to get (similar to a box of chocolates in that respect).
10.) Twix - Caramel and chocolate gets another shout-out on my list. Getting two bars instead of one is also a perk.

Honorable Mentions (in no particular order):

Rolo (incidentally, another one I've always pluralized: Rolos. This blog is also educational.)
Milky Way
Sour Patch Kids
Werther's Caramel
Hershey's Kisses

Gib's Top Ten Favorite Candies

1.) Cadburry Creme Eggs - Delicious Milk Chocolate on the outside, gooey goodness on the inside. When I got Easter Baskets as a child, the other candy I received might languish in its plastic egg for months to years, but these suckers were gone within a couple of days.

2.) Cadburry Mini Eggs - I describe these as “M&M’s on steroids.” Thin candy shell covering probably the most delicious milk chocolate I have ever tasted. I bought three bags of these the last time I was at Wal-Mart.3.) Nerds - Love ‘em. One of the loudest candies to eat, but the little crunchies are strangely gratifying to chew. I like Strawberry the best.

4.) Reese's Pieces - At one time these were an everyday purchase at my school’s cafeteria. Shout out to Mr. Reece for inventing them.

5.) Gummi Bears - The white ones are my favorites. I also used to enjoy biting the heads off of one color and transferring them to the body of another color.6.) Almond Joy - I prefer nuts. Apologies to my wife if she was unaware of this.

7.) Sour Skittles - I can’t decide if I like the taste or the face that they cause me to make. Maybe both?

8.) Sour Patch Kids - Same story, as number 7, different texture.
9.) Peanut M&M's - I really really prefer nuts. Sorry Katie…10.) Jolly Ranchers - I would gladly get tooth decay in honor of these candies…

Honorable Mentions (in no particular order):

Atomic War Heads

Snickers

Dum-dums

Raisinets

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

In honor of Easter....

Our next list will be our top ten favorite candies, in honor of the upcoming holiday. You know, in case the Easter bunny forgot what we like.

Turns out this is one of those lists where Gib and I differ completely...I think we only have one of the same candies listed...most of his choices are gross ;)

This list was kind of hard for me because I am not really a "candy person". I like it, but I rarely go out of my way to buy it. Cake over candy any day.

What are your favorite candies?
