I used to be a voracious eater of anything sweet, but now that I'm older a lot of candy tastes too sweet to me. Mostly I eat dark 72% chocolate.

There are a few candies I like a lot more than I should, especially the chocolate variety.

Last month I bought a bag of Werther's Original. They were hard candies with soft caramel centers. They were excellent. I bought them because I was having problems with my ears and I heard one way to treat it is to suck on candy. I don't know if it's true, but it was a good excuse to buy it.

I also like Reese Peanut Butter Cups, and in Canada we have a number of chocolate bars that can only get here and maybe the UK, like Cadbury's Crunchie, Wunderbar, and Nestle's Coffee Crisp.

I also like soft, chewy gummy candy, especially Gummy Worms. I also recently bought some gummy vitamins that are so good I'd eat the whole bottle if I wasn't afraid of getting poisoned, because too much of a vitamin can be bad.

I'll likely like whichever sweet candy you pass around...but, given a choice: Reese's Take 5.

Americans have a MUCH broader definition of what the English would refer to as boilings.

I would lean towards Oxford dictionary's definition #3

1925–
slang (originally and chiefly North American). Narcotic or illicit drugs; esp. cocaine. Cf. candy man n. 4.
Attested earliest in nose candy n.

If you're specifically aiming at chocolate bars, USA has completely different range to Oz, which is surprisingly different to UK, considering ours are largely made by the same companies.

My favourites are

Im like that with candy too, now that Im older toooo much candy seems like too sweet & toooo much sugar anyway, I can get sugar overloaded. Im also this way with cakes, I used to live near a bakery, they have sandwiches, drinks, coffee, salads & other stuff too, I used to walk there alot before I broke my ankle, I would get croissants, danishes, one slices of cake, I could pig out on pastry, but in my 40s, cakes can be tooo sweet for me, like tooo much chocolate.

My fave candies are Reece's Peanut Butter Cups & Snickers, my mom fave candy was Snickers, I got some after my mom died, Snickers were comforting food. I don't eat candy too much, too much sugar. I buy candy for Halloween for myself, but I can't but candy this year, Im at a group home :cry:
