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.

    that’s a tough one, cause my favorite candy is not technically a bar: reese’s pb cup. if that doesn’t count, it’s a toss-up between 100 grand and snickers.

    QOTD: I was all about the Reeses PB cups and Whatchamacallit bar when I was younger. I am still into the reeses but now my taste is more to the dark side. Dark chocolate with either sea salt or spicy peppers rock.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

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