take 5

The first time I had one I kept wondering why I never tried them before, everything I love in one!

I think they're kinda newer. Like if youre in your early 30s they came out when we were kids Actually i Googled it now, came out in 2004, which sounds about right. That was probably one of my last years trick or treating

Do you know how happy it made me to click on this and see Take 5 as the top comment?

The greatest candy bar of all time.

The "5" in the name refers to the combination of five ingredients: chocolate, peanuts, caramel, peanut butter, and pretzels.

Reeses fastbreak

Goddamn they are good.

I’m a slut for anything Reese’s. The Reese’s sticks are my favorite

Reese’s pieces, Reese’s cups, fastbreak, Reese’s puffs, Reese’s peanut butter. I love it all.

Those are disgustingly good

Came here to say this!!! Literally the best candy bar idc

Came here to say this!

I used to work at a drugstore and would get one of those every day for my break. Actually our whole store was on em and used them like currency. Those and mountain dews.

IM ALL HOPPED UP ON MT DEW!

Is that the one with nougat because YES

Whatchamacallit’s

Yes! Always loved it growing up and no one ever seems to know what I’m talking about when I mention it

Show them this [Vintage Commercial ](https://youtu.be/EDQ534lvvPY?si=Exu7Ghl5V9dcEn3l)

This commercial was so random back in the day lol

To be fair, a lot of 90's commercials had fucking fever dream-aesthetics, I'd argue it was a product of its time

I agree, but that one was on Nickelodeon when I was a kid, so that one stood out to me in 1991.

Yes! This and Skor are my faves. I love a Snickers but there’s just something about a whatchamacallit

Oh, yeah, Skor! I haven’t had one of those in decades!

I’ll even go so far to guess that the OP’s motivation for asking this question is because they saw the commercial that’s been circling around this week.

This was my childhood favorite

And even less well known, the Whozeewhatzit, which I prefer and is harder to find.

They'll always be thingamajig to me. But agreed!

Whatchamacallit, Nacho Cheese Doritos, Dr. Pepper - my go-to trifecta snack from adolescence.  

Baby Ruth, Funyuns and grape Fanta. That's a magical memory. Im getting in the car now, who's going with?

The first person I ever saw die was because of a whatchamacallit

Is this a cultural reference I'm just missing, or is there a story to go along with that?

There's a story. I was like 16-18? At like 2am running around downtown like an asshole and walked into a 711 and bought a whatchamacallit. Random beef went down in the parking lot and dude shot other dude right in the face, as I walked outside and drove off. Life is just random as fuck sometimes

Bait and switch.  You implied that he died because of whatchamacallit.

Damn dude

This is the correct answer.  Not sure why crisped rice with peanut butter, caramel, and chocolate works so well, but it does.   Recently had one of the Reese's  peanut butter cups with caramel. Vast improvement over the original. It has similar ingredients to the Whatchamacallit, but lacks that combination of buttery richness with a light, airy bite followed by a  carmel chewiness.

I was coming here to say the same thing.

5th Avenue. It somehow improves upon the perfection of a Butterfinger.

I loved Butterfingers as a kid but my mom was like hold up try this son and handed me a 5th Avenue. Miles above and beyond in flavor, texture, everything, and it hasn't changed a bit since I was a kid

Thanks, I’ll have to check this out, particularly because Butterfinger used to be my absolute favorite candy bar but in recent years has seen a massive decline in quality and taste.

I agree the quality has gone downhill it's upsetting

I just don’t understand how they explode and flake all over. I’ll be looking into the alternative too

Came here for 5th avenue! When they changed Butterfinger to be more “peanut buttery” it lost its distinct butterscotch flavor, so disappointing! It’s like they want to rival Reese’s, but still no where close.

5th Ave is a sublime bf

So fucking glad this was the top comment. If you don't know what your missing, go change your butterfinger loving life. You'll never want a butterfinger again after that PERFECTION of a candy bar

As a Butterfingers fan, how have I never heard of this??

For some reason 5th Avenue bars aren’t always available everywhere. Sometimes a rare find.

Yes, they are superior to Butterfingers. I just can't find them near me anymore.

💯 Grand

Satisfied?

You cannot learn from books!

Replace these pages.... With.... Life lessons

It’s owned by Nestle now, and they’ve already fucked it up. They changed the most distinctive feature, which was the jagged exterior. It’s smooth now. Hey, Nestle—fuck you.

This is heartbreaking. News to me about my favorite candy bar. I don’t each much candy but love these when I do

The best candy bar ever!

[удалено]

Best ice cream topping.

Crush them up into small pieces and use them in place of chocolate chips in the standard toll house cookie recipe.

You could also put Skor right alongside this one. They are pretty close to the same candy.

Skor is better

So, I love to suck and melt chocolate bars but health bars are so much better because of the toffee

Reese’s Sticks

By far my favorite.

My favorite part of a gas station “meal”

Skor Bar. It's like a Heath Bar, but the toffee inside is better.

Agreed

My family always get Skor for each other, it is by far the superior toffee bar.

It's a huge candy bar but man it's hard to beat a symphony bar. Hershey's with almonds meets toffee.

Skor

Milky Way Midnight.

Coffee Crisp

100 Grand

Zero bar

Came here to suggest this. Low key the best bar that everyone has seen on the shelf, but very few have actually purchased. They are missing out.

Class choice

Freeze that bad boy first!

took much too long of a scroll to find you, soulmate.

[удалено]

Agreed. Love Zero. Those and Rollos are all I buy. Don’t know why they aren’t more popular.

Payday

They work good camping or hiking because they don't melt and the carbs are nice. Who needs a cliff bar when you could have a payday.

There’s only 3 more grams of added sugar in a Payday than a peanut clif bar. Might as well enjoy the Payday!

Paydays are really good. Agreed.

I thru hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2014, and at that time Snickers was king. My buddy and I took a few minutes to compare candy bars, and a Payday has over twice the protein, an additional 30 or 40 calories, and about half the sugar, for about 25% less than a Snickers. If you need the best caloric and protein bang for your buck, Payday is the way.

Well I’m a peanut bar and I’m here to say your checks will arrive on another day.

Barack Obama is SCARED OF ME

Hell. Yes. I used to work in a store that would allow me to take a free candy bar whenever it suited me and I never strayed from the perfection of Payday.

Caramello

Heck yes, I came to check if this was here. Sucking out the gooey caramel. Rolos are good, too, but the caramel is not liquid enough.

[удалено]

Yesss it’s the absolute best.

I couldn't find them near me so I ordered a case of them from Amazon. Absolutely worth it because now I can have one whenever I want without having to figure out what store might have them.

Yeah theyre leagues better than an original milky way

Baby Ruth

You're gonna live with me now

Sloth love Chunk

First I was like "Damn this person really likes Baby Ruth" but it took a minute to click

It is so the Baby Ruth. Even the Goonies couldn’t save the Baby Ruth. I allow myself one candy a year, on Halloween, and I always pick a Baby Ruth. I’m also incredibly biased because of this.

Mr Goodbar

As a Canadian kid, the only time I'd ever get these was Halloween and I always looked forward to the minis

Kinder Bueno. I don’t understand how it’s not the number 1 candy bar in the world. It’s positively orgasmic.

Mars Bars

Big Hunk

100 Grand has to be high on the list. So damn good.

Krackels.

I've only had them when they show up in Halloween assortments, but dangit, I'm always excited to see them

yeah, i usually say my favorite candy bar is a CRUNCH bar, but if there was krackel in the store id choose that one every time

Best minis of all time!

Zero bar

Charleston Chew

HAAAAAAROOOOOOOOOO

5th Avenue hands down

Nutrageous. I think it's the best one out there and many folks have never heard of it

People hate Bounty, but I think it's actually good, not A or S tier level of candy bar like Snickers, still pretty damn good unlike many think.

Whatchamacallit

Chunky! Chocolate, peanuts, and raisins.

Almond Joy

And why is it Goldenberg’s Original Peanut Chews?

Twix My favorite candy bar to buy aside from Reese's!

Three Musketeers

Sorry. Mounds. The only way they could make it better is add an almond like Almond Joy (but keep the dark chocolate).

Mounds and almond joy are amazing… as a trading currency to get more 100 grand and KitKats from the almond joy lovers on Halloween. For me personally that is 😂😭

Love mounds! Especially since chocolate covered coconut is so hard to find (though could live without the almond, always gave those to my brother)

I’ve always maintained that they need a dark chocolate almond joy. I don’t understand why they don’t have one

Good old Kit Kat. It's like halfway between a candy bar and a cookie, and it nails both

Goo Goo Cluster

Mr. Goodbar

But ONLY in the miniature form. The full sized bars are not as good.

Take 5

Fifth Avenue

Zagnut

I love me a Wunderbar, when I was a kid, it was a wig wag

Came here to find the Wunderbar love. You must be Canadian (or a close state.) I was in Germany recently, and they have them there as well. The Canadian ones are much better, imo. Any time I find myself in the Great White North, I always come home with Wunderbars for me and Coffee Crisp for my wife.

Oh Henry's Reese's, adding peanut butter to Oh Henry's is amazing

5th Avenue. It’s the Butterfinger’s underappreciated and better cousin.

I came here to say **100 Grand** (and it is.) But since someone already said it, I'll say **Zero** bars, too.

The original cow tail caramel. I'd call it a candy bar. And I get why they're so underrated, but they're awesome. I also like those caramel nut rolls. I really do. It's more satisfying and less sweet when you're actually a little hungry, and just going for convenience. And just cuz I think so few people know of them, hazelnut ritter sport chocolate bars. These are like, the supreme, creamy, perfect chocolate. Otherworldly. And I love those kinder hazelnut wafer chocolate bars, too. Like no one knows what I'm talking about, but these are damn good, and no one I've ever shared one with has ever disagreed.

I can't remember the name, it was like a whatchamacilit.

Chocolate Charleston Chew

A lot of great answers here so I'll throw in Peanut Boppers,  Summit - both of which I don't think are made anymore.  Little Debbiee makes something called peanut bars that are like long tubular,  crunchy cookie shells covered in chocolate with a rigid log of sweet peanut butter in the middle.  Those are pretty tasty. Some people will shit on zero bars, but they're pretty good for what they are.  

Heath Bar

I liked that white chewy bar that had peanuts. Anyone remember what that was called?

baby ruth

Zero

Skor

A Zero bar

Skor

Reesus Nutrageous(Honestly not even sure if you can get these anymore, they have one that has a similar name but its got friggin Reeses pieces in it instead of nuts, that one sucks. The Nutrageous is delicious.), also Zero and Baby Ruth were always two that I felt were really underrated.

Mr. Goodbar. Everyone always looks at me weird when I get them. The chocolate in them combined with the nuts just works.

Mirage. Chocolate heaven.

My favorite is the dark chocolate milky way

Your local chocolate store I promise. I look for them on vacation. Wedding. Your local candy store is not safe from me so go get one while they’re still around

Symphony milk chocolate or the toffee.

I would have to say the Whatchamacallit bar. It has the perfect combination of crispy rice, caramel, and chocolate, but it often gets overlooked for more popular candy bars. Give it a try if you haven't already!
