Can't Fight The Urge...

There are thousands of candy bars out there in the stores just waiting to be bought and eaten. Snickers, Twix, Hershey’s, Baby Ruth, and Three Musketeers just to name a few. They come in all different mixtures, some with caramel, nougat, nuts, no nuts, peanut butter, you name it. Any taste or texture you want and there’s bound to be one that you like. Although most are packed with calories they are a great pick me up for those times when your busy running around.
I personally love Snickers. I always have. Even though I’m diabetic and it’s a big no-no I still cheat now and then and sneak one. I’ve never been fond of candy bars without nuts…I like something crunchy in it…Twix is an exception to that…the crunchy cookie in it is just right. Sometimes I’ll get one of those bags of the mixed minis and that way I get a good variety…I just have to pace myself.
What’s your preference? Do you prefer smooth chocolate or something with a crunch to it? Do you like the little mini ones for more variety?

I have four main favorites... PayDay, Snickers, Baby Ruth and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Any of them will satisfy the urge quite well, although my absolute favorite would have to be the chocolate covered cherries.
Since my wife isn't supposed to be eating a lot of sugar, a lot of times she will buy me some combination of candy bars and then beg for one.
It is so cute, and who can deny their wife when they beg so sweetly... hmmm?

I go through streaks where I like different things. I have always loved dark chocolate. I love several different candy bars but I have a habit of eating a buch for a while then I loose interest. I really like the chewy bars but I love to suck on some of the small kisses or mini chocolate bars. Then I get away from chocolate and would rather have hard candy. Then I eat a bunch of them till I get tired and move on to something else.

Well, I love snickers and three Musketeers ,but I usually don't eat sweets because I'm trying to loose weight ,and I feel very proud of myself because I have lost over 20 pounds and I feel great. I'm no longer fat and my clothes look great on me ,so I can probably treat myself maybe once every two weeks.

I love chocolate! My favorites are Milk Duds,Snickers and Baby Ruth.I can eat chocolate all day. That is a big downfall for me.I like candy with peanuts and caramel in it.I don't even buy the snack size ones because I end up eating all of them.Thanks for this fun discussion

My favorite is Milky Way. And, there is a special edition Hersheys that has Peanut Butter in it. Somehow it is creamy, not like what you get in a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. It is almost like caramel but not gooey and sticky. However they do it, it is so good!
But, Milky Ways are my absolute favorite. I like the creaminess and, I make it last by breaking it apart almost like an oreo cookie and scooping out the creamy center with a finger or my teeth and tongue and then eating the chocolate shell. OMG! Now I want one! Thanks a lot! LOL!
And, I do like the little mixed bag minis. I like Hershey's with almonds, Snickers, and other peanutty candy bars. So, I am good with either the crunchy of the soft but, that Milky Way will always be my first choice.

I love my peanut butter cups I have those alot so the next runner up would be the hershy chocolate bar w/ almonds. I buy a bag of each in the mini size so I have enough for a while and I snack on them when I am in the mood for them. I see that chocolate and I can't help myself but buy it.

Actually, because of the nuts, Snickers is probably a good choice for you, and the minis are great if you can take one at a time. I enjoy a square of Dove chocolate from time to time. I really like peanut M&Ms, if I am not so stressed that I gobble them all down. A diabetic educator I know suggests ten peanut M&M's as a snack.

I love candy bars- I don't buy them often as I would eat them all up! My favorite is the Snickers :) Caramel and nuts ! I also love the new Milky ways-- they have more caramel... I love twix too and Caramello--- I am pretty sure I love them all because of the caramel :) and the nuts and the crunchiness and the cookies :) Love them!
I grab a Snickers every so often in the store--- I freeze the Caramellos-- I like the caramel frozen! I even get Resses PB cups-- and freeze them then put them over ice cream!

My favorite candies are: gummy candy, three musketeers mint, york peppermint patty, and three musketeers. My new love has been Reese's Whips. Ayayayay, they taste so good. I need to stop eating all these candies because they aren't good at all for my body. Thanks for your time.

I love chocolate but I can fight the urge. Usually the motivation is that my wallet is a little too close to being empty, and so I don't buy unless I'm hungry or need something small to fill me up.

Oh I love any kind of candy bar, but snickers was my favorite when I was a kid, so I guess it still is, though I will eat any kind..

I think your inner urge is stronger then you and you are making it more stronger by obeying it. Since you are a diabetic then that means you need to control yourself very much. Whenener you feel the urge try to focus your mind in anyother creative activity or hobby and this can help you or try some yoga which will help you to keep fit.

My tastes in chocolate varies as much as my moods do. Some days I want just plain chocolate, others I want nuts or a cookie-type like twix.

hey twoey! Oh my gosh, but Snickers and Twix are also my favorites!! Ever since high school I would have either twix or snickers... I love nuts and caramel! Which is why I also like ferrero and cadburry hazelnuts. But still snickers is my all time favorite! ~
