In future NCAA things, please put a description of the items in the write-up. I think that a lot of these things might be going on name-recognition alone, i.e. "something I've actually heard of" versus "what the hell is a Winkadamladooder?" Maybe for stuff like cheese it's difficult, but for candy and cookies you can at least say "it's chocolate with almonds in" or "it's a sugar cookie with chocolate frosting on one half".

Fudge vs. Chunky? Girl please! Fudge brings back memories of Christmas, and Chunky has raisins! No contest! But then you kick it up a notch. Twix vs. Milk Duds? Krackel vs. Whoppers? M&Ms vs. Ghirardelli?!? These are the Sophie's choices of candy! Some of these are just ridiculously outmatched. Fudge vs. Chunky? Girl please!

Almost all my favorites in one place, so I'm gonna have to support whoever gets out of that one alive (unless it's the Zero). That Reese's/Snickers bracket is brutal!

Though I really like 5th Avenue (or at least did until they changed to the fake chocolate coating), Whatchamacallits & Skor. For those who love Butterfinger, I would like to suggest you hunt down a Canadian bar called Crispy Crunch. Infinitely better. @Jen, you can find them in some of the "bulk candy" or "retro candy" shops like Sugar Mountain that sell out-of-market snacks like American & British candy and chocolate bars, but be prepared to spend about $2/bar for them. I have a particular hate for those stores that sell a Cadbury Fudge bar marked 15p for $1.69. Worse gougers than gas stations. Reese Cups for the win!

I... can't pick a winner. This is rough. On filling it out, Snickers vs Caramellos came out my final two. I… can't pick a winner. This is rough.
