Starburst made a better showing than I’d anticipated, but the overall candy champ, my friends, is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Congratulations to the PB pucks; it’s a damn fine candy.

I’ve (re-)discovered a few things over the course of the recent Days Of Rage. Some of them are great!
I found it while researching a murder (…this is a sentence I have more frequent use for than most), the true story of a neighborhood legend from my childhood. I grew up in a leafy, …
There was never a question in my mind. Two great tastes that taste great together FTW!
I don’t doubt that Reeses will win, and I do like them well enough, but… there are too many chocoholics out there anyway. :> I have to vote for the non-chocolate entry.
Aw, drat. A chocolate allergy knocks out Reese’s for me (I love Reese’s Pieces though, cute litte non-chocolate bites), and I just recently discovered that Starburst contain gelatin. As a vegetarian that doesn’t work for me either. So I have to abstain from this one.
Chocolate gives me migraines, so Starburst it is! There’s this candy shop in Berkeley, though, that makes really amazing white chocolate peanut butter cups. They’re better than Reese’s PBC (which I used to be able to eat). They might be my favorite thing to eat. Ever.
You know, I never liked Reese’s, but ever since my roommate started making her chocolate cupcakes with pb frosting, they’re even more disgusting to me than they ever were before. Starburst ftw!
Go Amie: For a little while Reese’s did a white chocolate PBC, and the miniature ones were awesome. (I can eat white chocolate but not milk or dark.) Anyway, I think the minis had a better PB-to-confection ratio than the standard size, or something. The big ones were overwhelmingly sweet. That said, I am certain the candy shop’s version is far, far superior. Yum!
MizShrew: I’ve had the Reese’s white chocolate version, and I’m not a big fan, sadly. It was tragic because when they came out I was so excited that I bought about four bags of the miniatures, and then I didn’t like them. :( But they’re still available on amazon, so you should treat yourself!
NO – Starbursts contain gelatin?! Aack. I had to give up Junior Mints because of the cursed gelatin, but it never occurred to me to check the Starburst ingredients. Drat.
I guess I’ll be eating as many of them as I can while I’m pregnant, since I’ve had to rescind my vegetarianism temporarily due to the oddities of pregnancy tolerances.
Reese’s Cups for the win, and I feel so strongly about it that I’m gonna go get me some right now.
Oh Starburst, you poor deluded little candy…
Hmm. Maybe it’s a Canadian thing, but I don’t consider peanut butter cups “candy”. Candy = glorious sugar boiled down into various confections. Chocolate = glorious milk and cocoa butter, etc. Not the same thing, people!
Meh. Voted for the cups anyway.
