Food and Drink Candylicious: Round 3, Heat Set 5

**Rain Man** · 06-07-2016, 12:39 PM

You know the rules by now. Pick one from each pair based on your preference at this very moment.

Heat 17: Mr. Goodbar versus Starburst Jelly Beans

Heat 18: Chocolate Peanut Clusters versus Snickers Peanut Butter

Heat 19: Lindt Truffles versus Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Heat 20: 3 Musketeers versus Rolo

**Rain Man** · 06-07-2016, 12:44 PM

My votes:

Mr. Goodbar over Starburst Jelly Beans. I think this is the first vote I've cast for Mr. Goodbar and I'm still annoyed about that Midnight Dark Milky Way thing, but I'd rather have chocolate than jelly beans.

Chocolate Peanut Clusters over Snickers Peanut Butter. Snickers shouldn't be peanut butter. It just shouldn't. Chocolate Peanut Clusters are low-profile, but really good, so I'll go with them.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups over Lindt Truffles. Ooh, this is a tough one. They're both top-notch. My reason for voting RPBC is kind of lame, just in that it seems more like candy in the spirit of the competition. The Lindt Truffles seem like they should be in a different category. These are both superb choices, though.

Rolo over 3 Musketeers. This is my first vote for Rolo, which gets a friendly shrug from me. I'm not a 3 Musketeers guy. There's not enough there there.

**TimBone** · 06-07-2016, 01:15 PM

Heat 19 is a juggernaut.

My votes:

Starburst jelly beans over Mr. Goodbar. I definitely like Mr. Goodbar, but I have had those jelly beans and they are very good. They would be my preference at the moment.

Chocolate peanut clusters over Snickers Peanut Butter. The peanut butter snickers is probably the worst of all the different snickers variations.

Lindt Truffles over Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Look, I'm not gonna complain about having to eat either option here. Both are delicious. At this moment, though, I'm taking the Truffles.

3 Musketeers over Rolos. Rolos suck.

**Rain Man** · 06-07-2016, 01:18 PM

Does anyone else ever think of a rhesus monkey when they hear the name Reese's Peanut Butter Cup?

I think it would be good marketing to have a monkey logo and rename it the Rhesus Peanut Butter Cup.

**TimBone** · 06-07-2016, 01:19 PM

Wow!!!.....looking at the voting, we might as well declare Reese's peanut butter cups the overall winner right now. If it's smashing something as delicious as the Lindt truffles, it's gotta be the favorite. I guess a more commercial candy, like a twix, could give it a fight...but I honestly don't consider the truffles all that obscure. I assume most have had them.

Yeah, it's a shocker, but I think accessibility is coming into play here. Rhesus Peanut Butter Cups are so readily available (and delicious) that they're easy to pick, compared to Lindts, which are also delicious but not as common on every store shelf.

Rhesus versus Twix for the championship? I could see it happening.

**Rain Man** · 06-07-2016, 01:34 PM

On another note, the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup has fantastic packaging. It's very recognizable and really jumps out on the store shelf compared to other candies.

**Fire Me Boy!** · 06-07-2016, 01:37 PM

Starburst Jelly Beans. Me. Goodbars suck.

Snickers PB. Those clusters just don't look very good.

What a brutal matchup for Lindt. Lindt is by far better chocolate, but Reese's is just a really good combo. I'm going Lindt here.

Rolo. 3 Musketeers is always disappointing.

OmahaChief · 06-07-2016, 02:19 PM

Reese's for me is the perfect candy bar. There is not much more I love to eat then a fresh Reese's and a glass of milk. I literally gain about 5 to 7 pounds from Halloween to Easter eating the Pumpkins, Trees and Eggs. The seasonal stuff is always the freshest.

They have pumpkins?

I hadn't thought about the freshness angle. Interesting.

See, I love Reese's but part of that is that the balance of flavors works really well. When it comes to the other products you mention here though that balance is lost and is not nearly as good, IMO.

DJ's left nut · 06-07-2016, 03:25 PM

I'm voting against Rolo's despite preferring them over 3 musketeers because it just doesn't seem right that they advanced and Reisen didn't.

Apart from that, Mr. Goodbars still suck, Starburst Jelly beans most assuredly do not. Snickers over nut clusters.

Peanut Butter cups over Truffles if only because the a S'mores made with Reese's on a cinnamon graham cracker makes all human suffering worthwhile. I'm convinced that the discovery of this concoction is why man was put on this earth.

**luv** · 06-07-2016, 03:52 PM

Starburst Jelly Beans
Snickers Peanut Butter
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (This was hard. I really like Lindt Truffles. Had to go with the classic.)
3 Musketeers (I love Rolos, but I hate that they're individually wrapped.)

Will definitely be trying this sometime this summer.
