    As someone who knows a lot of people with food allergies, I will say that Sour Patch Kids are nut free, dairy free, gluten free, and vegan, so in terms of a great candy that most anyone can enjoy, I would say they reign top. It really sucks to do all that trick or treating, and only finding a few candies you can actually actually eat.

    The problem with Butterfingers is that they get stale. The peanut brittle stuff in the middle absorbs moisture, so gets a weird chew to it and it gets stuck in your teeth. A fresh Butterfinger is a beautiful thing, and something to be cherished. If you're looking for the freshest ones, skip the gas station/convenience store and go for the grocery store. The "impulse buy" sections of the checkout lines get a way higher turnover than gas stations, so the Butterfingers are MUCH more fresh.
    Also, Nestle Kit Kats are in a different league than what we get in the US.

      Everything was generally paired off first round based on similarity. I'm nostalgic for Swedish Fish because for some reason, I don't think I had a Sour Patch Kid until I was ~10 (maybe the adults in my area were just hoarding them for themselves), but SPK's were a revelation, and at least to me, they taste like Swedish Fish except you're trading the pleasant waxiness for candy beatitude.

    Nougat is a sweet that dates even to the 18th century in France, Hapsburg Empire and others. It was a confection that was prized by the aristocracy mixed with nuts like pistachio and sugar and even natural flavorings like rose water or orange water. The nougat that is in the 3 Muskateers bar represents the trickle-down effect as society started to enjoy these types of sweets. I am surprised by Andrew's response. Nougat comes with dried fruits and also has different types of nuts.
