I'm not really a fan of candy bars. Do granola bars count? They have tons of sugar in them so they might as well be chocolate.
What's your favourite candy bar?
I go through phases. My go to candy bars, when I actually want a candy bar, are -
Sky Bar - One chocolate bar with 4 separate flavor segments; caramel, vanilla, peanut, and fudge.
Charleston Chew - Chocolate and super chewy nougat (I like the vanilla flavor, also comes in chocolate and strawberry). They are god tier when frozen.
Three Muskateers - Chocolate candy bar with a whipped chocolate nougat filling. Very simple, very good.
The trend appears to be nougat fillings without nuts or crunchy stuff.
Pretty much anything with peanutbutter. Except Butterfingers, might was well pour caramel directly onto your teeth.
Nut Goodie, without question. Too bad they're nearly impossible to find outside of the upper Midwest. Any chance I have to go through the Minneapolis airport, I buy a box full of them.
@domineeto: I've always found Snickers to be oddly...dry. Maybe it's the nougat.
@jerkchicken: As someone who was about to submit his favourite bar as the Curly Wurly I can confirm this is true, although they are much smaller than the marathon bars but taste slightly better (could be biased as I was raised on one and not the other).
I'm actually going to throw my hat in the ring for the U.S. take on the Mars bar that was around in the '80s (I think?) Unlike the UK Mars bar which can be likened to a U.S. Milky Way, the U.S. Mars was most similar to a Snickers Almond. My grandfather used to always have a stash of them. Here's some comprehensive history on the U.S. Mars Bar:

The internet always provides the most detailed answers to the questions you never thought you'd ask.
Whatchamacallit (I'm a filthy 'murican)
I'm a recent convert to the church of Whatchamacallit. Before I'd stick to Kit Kat, Butterfinger (which would be an easy #1 if it didn't stick in my teeth), or a Twix. But after trying the Whatchamacallit I realized I had been missing out.
I haven't had a candy bar in a long time, but if I did grab one it would probably still be a Butterfinger. Yes, they usually come broken in at least three pieces, and they stick to your molars like none other, but man they are delicious.
I hate the way Butterfinger sticks on my teeth, (I'm sure my dentist feels the same way) but I can't quit 'em!
Does anyone remember a chocolate bar that had had a super-hero bunny with a cape featured on the wrapper? I can't for the life of me remember the name of it. This was early 2000's or late 90's.
I assumed it was a Nestlé related product for a while but haven't found anything similar.
