As far as regular candy bars go, I guess I like Almond Joy. No, not Mounds. I must have the nuts in there for the textural appeal. Otherwise it’s too mushy.
GV – I’m sorry you had to go all the way to Denver to watch the Jets lose in the rain. That’s a bummer. You are a true fan.

GV, with your cholesterol issues you have no business eating this many candy bars. Some good dark chocolate in a small amount OK but candy bars contain products that raise cholesterol levels considerably.

QOTD: Yes! 100 Grand is also my favorite candy bar and I think it is extremely underrated. This show was awesome, it was really fun to watch. I also liked the date idea, maybe keep stuff like that coming?

Awesome show. Nice change of pace!

QOTD: Used to love Marathon Bars (but they discontinued them )
By far. . . Snickers is the best (even the ice cream Snickers bars that you can get during the summer months!)

My favorite candy bar with wine is just a hersheys bar. I think it brings out the notes of my favorite cheap wine.LOL

The BIG question I have is…..

How the heck do you keep your teeth white after drinking a great red wine! I joke a lot about purple lips and teeth the morning after a fab wine night.

Just a dorky question cuz I refuse to adapt myself to white wine.YUCK!

Not a candy bar….but Sees boxed chocolates, the dark chocolate nut and chewy collection. Now, I know the wines that complement. All the best from Naples Kathy aka CHampagne Lady.

QoTD – Ritter Sport White Choc. w/ Hazelnuts.

Funny that your fave was the 100,000 Bar. They’re saying it’s a pale version of my childhod fave, the Peter Paul Caravelle.

QOTD: Anything Reeses. Especially the Fast Break. and Twix PB

The show was awesome. Going to go and find some of the Dolcetto.

Football is the best, but I bleed Purple and Black.

Gary!

Really a fun show! Looking forward to more interesting “food” / wine pairings. QOTD: In younger days, when my teeth were stronger, BIG HUNK bars. Probably would pull a few teeth out by the roots if I ate one of those now! These days I’m going with either the classic Twix or the new Take 5 candy bar.

Today’s show was “sweet”
Wondering if the dolcetto was too young to be drinking.
I’m not drinking any o7 reds of any kind yet.

QOTD: Hersheys symphony milk chocolate. Best bang for the buck on the market.

Not really a candy bar, but I like the Drost Pastilles in the little dark blue hexagonal cylindar.

SUPER EXTRA DRY Chocolates and Dry wines………like the chocolates with like 90 % chocolate……

GV – I know you’re a root beer fan so give this a shot –

Butterfingers + Root Beer = The Awesome.

Interesting show. I usually prefer a darker chocolate when pairing.

QOTD: Anything Versoge (sp). They have the funkiest choices: Bacon and curry, cinnamon and black pepper, etc, etc. These aren’t the exact the options, but you get the idea. I rarely, if ever, eat supermarket candy bars; they’re like McDonalds to me. Gimme a high cocoa, belgian milk chocolate or something really unusual any day.
