my favorite is a brown & haley Mountain bar!

Mountain® Bars
The Mountain® Bar was first put on the market by Brown & Haley in 1915 as the "Mount Tacoma Bar". The bar began with a fondant vanilla center as would be found in hand-dipped chocolate of the period. Sitting before individual warm chocolate pots, the dippers would make a puddle of tempered chocolate mixed with freshly ground peanuts. After rolling the center a little bit more, they would take a scoop of the tempered mix, forcing the center into the scoopful of the mixture. Then, with the heel of the hand, the bottom would be smoothed off and deposited on a waxed card. After the bar was made, it was put in a blue, hand-folded box that had a picture of Mount Tacoma (now Mt. Rainier) on it. Today our state of the art machinery turns out 592 Mountain® Bars per minute under the strictest sanitary conditions.

By 1923 the name of the bar had changed to just plain "Mountain®" due to the fact that its sales were beginning to spread into regions beyond Tacoma and the name "Mount Tacoma" conflicted with Seattle's name, Mount Rainier, which was beginning to gain ascendancy.

A Northwest Favorite
When World War II arrived, Brown & Haley was making as many as 25 different candy bars. With a shortage of sugar, the company decided to concentrate all of its efforts behind the production and marketing of its leading candy bar, the Mountain® Bar. This had the effect of establishing the brand as a regional favorite. Shortly after that the company decided to change the name of one of its brands from Cherry Bounce to Cherry Mountain® Bar in order to capitalize on the brand's strength. In 1974, Brown & Haley introduced the Peanut Butter Mountain® Bar.

Hershey's Milk Chocolate with Almonds

followed closely by (in order)
Milky Way
Three Musketeers (frozen)
Almond Joy

I could live without any other candy if I had to as long as I could still have these 4.

For American chocolate, Mounds. For European chocolates, Leonidas pralines. For chocolate bars, Valhrona Chocolate.

I must say, however... I just discovered Reese's White Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. And oh my! Are they yummy!

well, it's a toss-up between a heath bar (if you have to buy a packaged candy; our homemade english toffee is to die for and it's my absolute favorite!) and some candy bar that's so weird, it's good. 'spud' i only found in idaho. it looks like a lumpy potato and is chocolate over something that looks like mashed potatoes! tastes good, though. i was so disappointed when an idahoan friend was coming to visit. she asked what she could bring and i told her ten 'spuds'. she said, 'well, that's a weird want, but i'll bring 'em'. and she brought me ten real idaho potatoes, which i can already get in california! i didn't have the heart to tell her i meant the candy bar...but i was so disappointed :-)
also, just an aside, it was interesting to stop at idaho rest areas. they are actually 'manned' about 12 hours per day. they have gift shops which sell potato items, such as potato shampoos and lotions!

Salted Nut Roll, tho I can't find them here in Kentucky. So when I go back to Iowa I stock up on them. But when I'm out my next favorite is ButterFinger Crunch.

I'm not a big chocolate eater, but when I absolutely have to have something, it's only going to be peanut M&M's.

wow, most people want a buck apiece for the spud candy bar. i got them in idaho falls 3/a buck...
i did find them for less on eBay, but they want over 7 bucks shipping. the same site had the mountain bars, too for under 12 bucks for a box.
i'll have to think about this! but i can sure taste that damn spud candy bar :-)
