Interesting oddball episode. Shame there weren’t any candy bars from the UK as we all know that’s where the best ones all come from. My personal favourite is too close to call. A tie between Topic, Double Decker, Toffee Crisp, and possibly the daddy of them all, Munchies. Worst by a long way are Reeses…nasty.

    QOTD: Cadbury or Chunky fruit and nut if I ate candy bars which I don’t.

    Kind of a bait and switch with the beard.

    Nice concept for the show.

    QOTD: Barnone, defunct but awesome in its day

  • Really really good show, Gary, an absolute classic!! I really enjoyed it.
    Unfortunately in my experience all american chocolate is disgusting! You’ve got to get some proper European Choccy quick! ; )
    My favorite bar is Bournville and I eat it with wine all the time!

  • Mojave Joe

    How can you eat all of those candy bars?

    QOTD: Hershey with almonds

  • Great show GV, although you’ve lost all credibility with my wife, doing an entire show on candy bar pairings… :)… No matter, she’s not a wine drinker anywho…

    QOTD: Coffee Crisp all the way baby!!

  • Awesome episode! When I taste wine, I drink the same bottle over a course of 3-4 days. Since I generally cook different food each night, I try the same wine in 3-4 different contexts. It’s great! One of the contexts I like to try for each wine is with a candy bar – just like this episode!

    QOTD: Reeses. I know it’s not really a candy bar, but it’s just so good.
