Candy Bars

For a long time, if I wanted a candy bar, I would choose one of the ones with all the stuffings... nougat, caramel, nuts, tunnels of fudge, etc... My favorites here were 3 Musketeers and Twix. The Mars company triumvirate has always facinated me. You start with 3 Musketeers, just chocolate and nougat. Then when you add caramel, it becomes a Milky Way. Finally with the addition of some type of nut (peanuts or almonds), you have a Snickers. Offshoots of this include Twix and Mars Bar. I've never eaten a Mars bar so I don't know what differentiates them.

Recently though, I have been getting the simple chocolate bars and really enjoying them. I think it has to do with seeing the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, because I started doing this this summer. I just finished eating a Hershey's Special Dark, and found it quite good. It is still nothing compared to European chocolate bars, but it is still a nice, simple treat.

Anyway, this is just a message to remember to get out and enjoy a candy bar every once in a while. It's good and it will help brighten your day.

As long as I've known you, you have always loved chocolate and hated soft drinks. I don't know why, but that has always amused me! :)
