What are the best candy bars?

Everyone loves candy bars. Or they at least like one. Everyone has their favorite that they go to again and again. It doesn’t matter if you’re a peanut butter and chocolate person, a caramel fanatic, are crazy about peanuts or can eat your weight in coconut, there is a candy bar that fits your specific tastes.

Even if chocolate isn’t necessarily your thing, there’s a candy bar out there for you. We eat them at the movie theater, on Halloween, Easter, and Christmas, and just when we need a pick me up after a stressful day.

Candy bars come in all shapes in sizes whether they be the round shape of the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, the flat rectangle of the Crunch Bar, the lumpy rectangle of the Milky Way or Snickers, or the mound-like shape of an Almond Joy or…Mounds. They may all look different and have different ingredients, but they all have one thing in common: they taste amazing!

Over the past century, candy bars have been created, tested, and tasted and they’ve either stuck around long enough to make an impression on our culture or they didn’t work out and we probably don’t even remember they existed.

This list of the top 25 candy bars of all time includes classic candy bars that are still around, a few forgotten ones that can still be found in the candy aisle, and some that were great but are, unfortunately, no longer being made. Let’s take a look!
