@@fuzzybanana0123 Seriously. I would get weird looks buying 100 grands and I would swear up and down that they were incredible. They're the #1 "chocolate bar" for me, followed by Snickers.
White Mystery is actually a combination of the run offs of what doesn't get used to making all the other flavors. They just combine them and don't add dye. There is no consistent recipe, so every batch is slightly different.
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.
This is actually great to know I can’t hand out candy this year due to a surgery scheduled the same day but I bet the kids would love these more than the Annie’s bunnies gummies I hand out
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.
Yeah, I personally don't like Butterfingers very much, and they would have been tossed out first round in my bracket. But everyone has different preferences for their sugar cravings.
I'm obsessed with the texture of butterfingers but haven't ever been able to eat them because I get an INSTANT headache every time. Not sure if it's just the concentration of sugar or something else...
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.
Wrong... try asking the kids, and you will get the real winners. Peanut butter cups are the number candy that kids go for in our neighborhood hands down.
Though he was incorrect to pick Tootsie Pops over Starbursts, I think Reese's would have fared better if it was a straight up ranking best to worst rather than a bracket.
I honestly never thought I’d ever see the day someone admitting to butterfinger being their favorite candy online, I feel like people would judge so hard. I love them and I wish they still did the Reese’s cup collab
I just want to make sure someone puts it out there that Swedish Fish aren't red flavored, they're elderberry. I agree the children are the tastier of the two candies in that bout, but I think it's important to note it's not just a red flavor.
100 Grand is my favorite candy bar! I love that they're almost always on the shelf because few people like them! As much as I love pb and chocolate, I've never really cared for butterfingers for some reason.
I like Butterfingers - but they get caught in my molars. Also, I know a lot of people say that Mounds and Almond Joy were their worst Halloween candy, but not me - they were some of the best. As a matter of fact, I would feel gypped if I DIDN'T have at least one Almond Joy or Mounds in my trick-or-treat bucket.
_Love_ Almond Joy and Mounds. Like the taste of Butterfingers, but *hate* that the toffee always gets stuck. Always. You need a metal toothpick to pry those bits out. Butterfingers are cavity-enablers.
These are actually both my two favorite commercially produced candies and usually the only ones I'll eat on and off throughout the year. Interesting to see Andrew with a similar opinion on candy.
As an Australian, it was interesting watching to see what is very different to our versions of these sweets, or simply what we don't have. Our Milky Ways are basically what the 3 Musketeers bar is here, and our Smarties are like better tasting M&Ms.
British but same and I assume it’s the same for you that what we call Mars bars is their Milkyway? Also Kit Kat, Twix, Starburst & Skittles are just British anyway 👍
Butterfingers always get stuck inside the crown of every one of my teeth. I wish he reviewed Whoppers. Those are my favorite and super easy to trade for on Halloween.
Really, the entire candy division can be wiped off this bracket and Snickers, 100 Grand, Reese's Cup and M&M's (maybe with an Almond Joy or Heath Bar Spoiler) should have been the final 4. Butterfinger? Really?
I also just recently stumbled upon 100 Grand bars after 20 yrs of aliving, and they completely changed my perspective on chocolate. The only thing that can top them is the discontinued 100 Grand Dark limited edition version which I unfortunately never got to try. Ferrero please bring them back
The basic milk chocolate Hershey bar is definitely the worst - I remember even liking the cookies 'n' creme bar better as a kid, even if it's super artificial tasting.
@@RunFanatic The problem with basic Hershey is just what's the point? It's not amazing gourmet chocolate, so why not just go with any other more interesting candy bar? Most candy bars are just Hershey + more.
I'd never had 100 Grand as a kid for whatever reason, then as an adult I had them as the fourth candy in a halloween variety mix for trick-or-treaters. I reasoned since it wasn't that top billed candy, it had to be mid. Not so. 100 Grand, Butterfinger, and Whatchamacallit are the top 3 of non-regional candy bars easy. The crisp factor just hits different.
Reeces Pieces were introduced to the American public for the first time in the Movie, E.T. (1982)- The top case of early 80s product placement. Eliot uses the candy to lure E.T. There is a trick-or-treat scene in the movie with the candy as well, I think.
Here's Babish singing the praises of the Butterfinger, and here I am with the Zagnut as my favorite candy bar, possibly favorite candy overall. For those that don't know, 5th Avenue is Hershey's version of the Butterfinger and Zagnut is the same but replaces the chocolate with a toasted coconut exterior.
I love candy corn or harvest mix. I don't care if it is mostly sugar; it has a great flavor, and you can bite each color off, which is really great if you get the ones with the chocolate bottoms.
My favorite form for butter finger is the butter finger cups. They're hard to find, but its everything you love about butterfinger (flavor, texture, crisp etc) in the form factor of a reeses cup.
In case it wasn’t posted already, the flavor of Circus Peanuts is banana. Once you realize that and try it, you’ll get it. The orange marshmallow thing throws you off.
As someone who’s not dead and has purchased, tried, AND ENJOYED Circus Peanuts, I’m glad someone else knows the flavor is banana. Yes, the overall sweetness, texture, color, and name “peanut” all throw most people off haha
@@coyotelong4349 I think they'd probably do a whole lot better if they made it banana-shaped and colored? They say humans eat with their eyes first. If you were presented with something banana-like, circus peanuts wouldn't seem so odd when you put them in your mouth. But this orange peanut-shaped thing?! Why does it taste of banana?! The dissonance hurts.
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.
As a Brit I found it interesting that our Milky Way bars are 3 Musketeers in America while we call Milky Ways bars as Mars bars. Can't lie would polish off both
Mars bars sold in the US are similar to Milky Ways but made with semisweet or bittersweet chocolate. There was also a very common variety which had almonds on top of the caramel.
@@porsche911sbs Well I haven't tried an American Milky Way bar but based on some US chocolate I've tried, I'm inclined to agree. I don't think it's terrible like some British people do but it's just not quite got the same hit
Butterfinger doesn't even taste like peanut butter. I didn't know it was supposed to be peanut butter until I saw that commercial with Bart Simpson where he says 'crispity, crunchity, peanutbuttery', I thought it was supposed to be butterscotch. The clear winner is Reese's cups. Every time.
As soon as he went Butterfinger over Reese's, I knew it was over. Also, the omission of Red Vines over Twizzlers is criminal. And who hasn't ever had a Circus Peanut? And Baby Ruth always beats Snickers.
There is a reason why the Mars family is among the richest families in America. Their candy bars have stood the test of time, winning kids' hearts for generation after generation.
When I was a kid my sister loved all the sour fruity candies and I preferred all the chocolate ones. Some of the best bonding we ever did was completely swapping our selections after trick ‘r treating.
To me you can't compare candy vs chocolate, it depends on my mood! My chocolate winner would be 100 Grand, SO underrated! My candy winner would be Nerds, it was point of pride as a kid to just toss back the whole mini box at once
They can be VERY hard to find, is probably why. It may be a regional thing? It's not like a Hershey bar, that can be found in pretty much every store, you can very well go years without seeing a Zero! Even at the same store in a different place! I love them though and always have.
I’m one of those people who likes Dots, so those would win the candy division for me. I’m also a fan of York, but I always reach for the baby ruth on Halloween.
Strawberry Nerds hit both my taste and smell receptors, in that they remind my senses of being a kid in the early 1970s... bookstores, greeting card shops, fluorescent colors, Peter Max.
Regular Butterfingers beating Kit Kat is insane. The chocolate is better, the texture is better, and the Butterfinger shards get stuck in your teeth. THEN he criticizes the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup for losing some of its chocolate on the wrapper, but loses some of his Butterfinger when it falls apart after the bite Madman
So glad Butterfinger took the crown! That combo of milk chocolate, peanut butter and corn flakes just packs a taste and texture that has always been at the top for me.
That was a wild move tearing the Starburst and Now 'N Laters with the teeth. There are only a few more effective candies in existence for tooth damage when eaten with that technique.
you get wildly confused pretty easily. things are called different names in different countries.... what's so confusing about that? In the US, the same mayonaise brand is called Hellman's on the East Coast and Best in the Midwest and beyond

5th avenue outclasses butterfinger at every level.
This makes so much sense why almost every butterfinger Ive eaten sucks except for one random bar I had like 10 years ago
Chic - o - sticks is the butterfinger insides without the mystery chocolate
100 Grand is massively underrated, glad it only got trounced by the GOAT that is Butterfinger.

I suddenly want to see Babish make his own homemade Butterfingers.
Pro tip if you didn't know the secret sauce inside butterfinger is candy corn mixed with peanut butter. Mess with ratios to find your ideal mix.

tootsie pops are one of the top best american candies they are timeless
I’m one of those people who likes Dots, so those would win the candy division for me. I’m also a fan of York, but I always reach for the baby ruth on Halloween.
BRING BACK THE BUTTERFINGER BBs!
The thing you gotta be careful of on Halloween night: if your Butterfingers get cold, they get hard and the texture loss is devastating
The fact that butterfingers made it out of the first round is nuts to me.
babish talks the same way my internal monologue does
Strawberry Nerds hit both my taste and smell receptors, in that they remind my senses of being a kid in the early 1970s... bookstores, greeting card shops, fluorescent colors, Peter Max.
*names three fruits*..."what are these, vegetables?"
The thing with candy corn is that of you stack them on their side like a circular shape high enough it resembles an ear of corn
Regular Butterfingers beating Kit Kat is insane. The chocolate is better, the texture is better, and the Butterfinger shards get stuck in your teeth.
THEN he criticizes the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup for losing some of its chocolate on the wrapper, but loses some of his Butterfinger when it falls apart after the bite
Madman
100 Grand let's goooo!!!
Butterfinger, and other peanut butter containing candies, have more protein than a lot of the others so are a bit more filling I’d think
So glad Butterfinger took the crown! That combo of milk chocolate, peanut butter and corn flakes just packs a taste and texture that has always been at the top for me.
I was far too invested in this outcome. Butterfinger is my all time favourite.
Why does he think it’s peanut butter flavored when it’s toffee brittle?
That was a wild move tearing the Starburst and Now 'N Laters with the teeth. There are only a few more effective candies in existence for tooth damage when eaten with that technique.
Any other Canadian wildly confused when he called the Rockets Smarties...
Nobody lives in Canada. Thats a myth
me
you get wildly confused pretty easily. things are called different names in different countries.... what's so confusing about that? In the US, the same mayonaise brand is called Hellman's on the East Coast and Best in the Midwest and beyond
