My Controversial Takes on Candy
As a candy blogger and self-professed lover of almost all things sweet, I have my takes on what candy bars are "good" and which are "bad." Still, of course, these opinions are my own, as candy is very subjective!
People can be chocolate lovers, gummi fanatics, or just love a mix of everything. I am a chocolate lover, but not exclusively.
Of course, occasionally, I enjoy an excellent gummy or sour treat. My favorite candy is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, precisely their Big Cup.
Throughout my life, I have learned that some of my takes on candy are controversial because my opinions aren't commonly held.
Having Reese's as a favorite candy is not a controversial take; it's a popular one considering that over 200 Million - yes, 200,000,000 - are sold yearly.
To go through my controversial takes on candy, let's start with my "likes."
These are candies that I find to be delicious, but they are less popular with other people.
First off, I love Baby Ruth bars. I fell in love with them when their miniature version appeared in a candy bowl on my mother's desk in the lower school at Winchester Thurston, one of the oldest schools in Pittsburgh, where she works and where my sister and I went to school.
Although this candy bar isn't nearly as popular as its competitors, it should be.
My next take is that Mr.Goodbar is also incredibly delicious.
Unfortunately, this candy bar gets hidden in the candy world. However, it is highly prevalent in Halloween fun-sized mixed bags. This is a shame since the peanut adds so much texture to this highly underrated candy bar.
My final take is on the 3 Musketeers bar. It is my second favorite candy of all time!
Every year on Halloween, when I was younger, I would end up with many 3 Musketeers bars because many of my friends wanted to get rid of them.
Now time for my even more controversial takes on candy.
I don't want to come across as being negative, but as any candy lover knows, we have our favorites...
Many people would assume that because I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, I would automatically love Butterfingers. After all, they both have a delicious base of peanut butter. However, I am not fond of the texture of Butterfingers.
I recently wanted to try them again to see if I still didn't like them. So let's say I won't be opening another Butterfinger again soon.
Finally, my last two takes are certainly the most controversial, but I must say them. Finally, I prefer something other than Starbursts or regular Skittles Fruit Chews. Of course, I will eat them both, but let's remember that I am a chocolate lover at heart.
Some people dislike chocolate - I have difficulty comprehending how this can be true - while others dislike fruity tastes. However, this may be why thousands of candy bars exist, and here's a fun fact.
Did you know that 65 percent of all American Candy Bars have been around for over 80 years?
The beautiful thing about candy is that there is one for everybody.
So the New Year is a perfect time to try new things and, in this case, SWEETEN your horizons! This is undoubtedly one resolution that will be easy to keep!
