"I know it's heresy for some, but I once tried a cadbury egg....it was vile."

I agree! ! ! ! 100% ! !

Rusty

Oh, yeah, I can eat a lot of concentrated sugar, but those Cadbury Creme eggs are horrendous.

Salted licorice is the worst but I love most other candy licorice

Bit o' Honey is a favourite but there is no where in Canada I can get it. Maybe US Amazon but shipping is too much

Favourite chocolate bar is a Big Turk

I once asked a BIG woman, she was a baker in a grocery store, what candy was her favorite. She said Necco wafers. She said she could eat ten packages of them easily! SO...I'm surprised to see so many dislike them as much as I do. Yuck....

Nasty list: Popcorn flavored jelly beans.

Liked Candy: Ferrero Rocher hazelnut chocolates Or...Lindor Truffles.

Well, I ran to Kroger to get a few things and somehow ended up with a box of Good N Plenty and small bag of Dove dark chocolates with almonds. Had to stop myself from running to Walgreens to get some Almond Rocha. Kroger doesn't sell it.

Does anyone remember 7 Up Candy Bar, similiar theory to the Skybar, but 7 flavors? As a child I loved the 7 Up bar but have never liked the Skybar.

Agree Neccos are really bad. That said, it seems I have had worse, thinking super cheap chocolate. Not a candy corn fan either.

Love good black licorice. Dark chocolate, is my favorite, including several of the See’s candy varieties, Trader Joe’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and their Dark Chocolate Orange Sticks.

I ate one of the Dove dark chocolates and they aren't great. Super sweet. Been awhile since I bought any, now I wish I hadn't.

Here's a hard licorice to try. It is strong and not too sweet. Bizarre picture on the cute tin which my wife likes to save for stuff like buttons and safety pins.

I love good n plenty. one of my favorites. I dont mind circus peanuts or Necco Wafers (except the black ones). I liked Bonomo turkish taffy when i was a kid. We would freeze it and crack it. And Pop Rocks! I loved those.

My bil gives me See’s truffles every year and I cant stand them. I give them to the staff at the library. Laffy Taffy is pretty disgusting, too.

I also dislike many of the previously mentioned candies. Another I can't stand is the Cadbury eggs. I don't get the appeal.

I think my favorites are Snickers or peanut m&m's. They are 'healthy' as far as candy goes. Lol!

I like most of what’s been written here. The one I’ll definitely agree with is all those funky jellybean flavors. Coconut and buttered popcorn get spit out unceremoniously, I’m sure there are others. And yes, bad chocolate can be pretty bad.

One that I’m not familiar with the circus peanuts. I see my supermarket sells a store brand version, for a buck I’ll check out what the disgust is all about!

Like Lars, any thing with peanut butter...like Reese's. I can choke down a Baby Ruth, which has peanuts in it, but I'd like it better if it didn't. My favorite is any good quality truffles. I also like hard candy like Napoleon Bonbons, the lemon ones filled with sour lemon powder but I haven't seen any of those in years.

Cadbury eggs are pretty gross. So is Hershey chocolate.

Feel free to send the Dove dark chocolates here.

I find Peeps disgusting. IMHO, their highest and best use is in the diorama contest the Washington Post used to have. I hope they have it this year; I could use a laugh.

Something else, that I suppose falls into the category of candy, that I hope never to taste again are candied flowers - violets & rose petals are what I had. Yuck!

I am pretty much with Graywings. Even the candy I don't particularly enjoy, I will happily eat!

I will say though of all the chocolates ( and I LOVE chocolate) something about the hazelnuts with chocolate is for sure my least favorite. The Perugina and the Ferrero . I have been gifted some recently and I know it was a very nice thoughtful gift but I am probably going to offer it on our buynothing. (Unless I have some company and can put them out to serve).

All the others people mentioned, the circus peanuts, licorice, candy corn. I don't really care for but if you bring me a bowl, I will do a number on it!!

Only one? Candy Corn.

I went to a lavender festival in Friday Harbor WA once and my sister bought us each a lavender chocolate. We all popped our chocolate into our mouths and we each spit them back out... why anyone thought lavender and chocolate was a good combination I'll never know.

There are a couple of Jelly Belly Jelly Bean flavors I don't care for, but I'm not sure which ones.

Dark chocolate M&Ms are just about my favorite, but most anything within reach is fine by me.

raee, odd that you mentioned candied flowers. I have never tried them. I recall when it was popular to put flowers in salads....nasturtiums, for example. (Heck, it may still be a thing....I don't know), but I have seen pictures of candied violets, and I have always wanted to make some. There is a big patch of violets at the edge of the woods by my old barn....this may be the year to try to make them. They are small, and with enough fine sugar sprinkled on them...it might not be so bad.

Nasturtiums are pretty good.

I bought the circus peanuts. I realize taste is subjective, but I really can’t understand how these are something that anyone would eat. Unless like me, they tried them out of curiosity after hearing how bad they are.

Some have mentioned Reece’s, not always clear if pieces or peanut butter cups. I love the latter. Interestingly, my daughter will eat neither chocolate nor peanut anything in anything but RPBC which she loves.

worst: black licorice or black jellybeans

fav: Reese cups, milky

Zucchini flower petals are delicious. Breaded and fried in olive oil.

Candy Corn and Candy Hearts without a doubt thee 2 worst.

I think the worst ones I can remember eating were in childhood and my family visited friends with kids. While the adults played cards, we kids got to watch TV. And we were given a candy bar, but every time it was a Mounds or Almond Joy, which I just couldn’t gag down. Such a disappointment when candy was a special treat.

eta: Favorite is See's Butterscotch Square or their Bordeaux chocolates or bars. I'm glad there is no See's close to my home!

I also dislike the taste of Christmas ribbon candy. It looks so nice but takes like stale perfume or something. I haven't eaten it in decades but that is how I remember it.

Worst was home made fudge which my cousin accidentally made with SALT!!!!!!!!!!

Best milk chocolate and dark chocolate ever!

Don’t like fruit flavored candy.

Marzipan is the worst of the worst and the very best is treacle Toffee which I have not had in over 54 years. I am in general a fan of toffee but seldom have any.

I do not care for licorice but love black jellybeans. Hmm

Oh gosh yes...marzipan! E-yuck. No 'white chocolate' for me, either. Also cheap 'chocolate' -- made with what? Cocoa? Thinking of Russell Stover, Whitman's, other 'drug store' boxed candy.

Send all your marzipan to me - I love it.

Or to me. When i was a kid, my mother would buy me a few pieces shaped like little fruits made at a local bakery shop , for special occasions.

Marzipan stollen is my absolute favorite holiday treat!

I hated peanut anything with a passion when I was a kid and still don't care for most peanut candies - esp. those candied peanuts in Cracker Jack. They always tasted stale and a bit rancid to me.

And the mention of candy hearts reminded me of a Futurama joke that they're made out of bone meal and earwig honey 😄

Candy hearts are a sort of kissing cousin to Necco's. I actually like both but not the ones that are wintergreen or clove. Yick. Not favorite candy but I liked its blandness. I was always a huge fan of those soft peppermint sticks. Hard to find any more but I dont eat candy usually so I dont go looking.

The worst candy I ever ate was a Roman nougat from a box of See's chocolates. Absolutely awful. It tasted like hard, nasty, chunky bubblegum surrounded by otherwise good chocolate. It may have seemed extra bad because I was expecting so much more, given the reputation...

I miss See's, especially their dark chocolate raspberry creams. They used to have a tiny stand in the mall in the city but not sure it's still there. Could only buy boxes, not one or two so I never bought any.

So weird, my daughter just called from the airport and asked me what my favorite See's candies were. Isn't that weird?! After I just mentioned Sees on this post?

When I was working in CA, we would be given boxes of See's fairly regularly. I never really cared for them actually. Something always seemed odd about the chocolate flavor.

Licorice, Marzipan, white chocolate. Love candy with nuts, caramels, Mounds, caramel corn with candied peanuts.

Funny, I used to use Necco's when I made gingerbread houses at Christmas time. Made a cute roof and paths. Never ate them.

Ooh, maybe your daughter will bring you a box? That is odd that she called after you posted about them.

I use to love to get a box of soft center See's chocolates, but they changed the variety a couple of years ago and took out some of the ones I liked most. It was disappointing enough that I haven't gotten a box since. A friend resorts to having a box put together with his favorite varieties, but I'm too lazy for that. Nowadays I'll pick up party sized bags of dove chocolates or the Giradelli squares. I'm not really that picky when it comes to chocolate!

Quasifish, she hasn't said one way or another about the chocolates. I won't see her until Saturday. I can't remember the last time I bought any See's.

Now on the opposite end of the spectrum are simply the best truffles I've ever had. Ever. A local shop carries them, but sources them from here: https://danteconfection.com/truffle-flavors/ They are phenomenal!

Then for the adventurous, my neighbor gave me these with some most extraordinary flavors: https://www.vosgeschocolate.com/collections/exotic-truffle-collection including absinthe, olive oil or paprika.

My worst was probably the "chocolates" that came in the heart shaped box that my Dad gave me and my sisters for Valentines Day. The sentiment was sweet, and I cherished the boxes (and my Dad) but the so called chocolates were horrible.

Nekotish, your boxed chocolates brought to mind c-ration chocolate bars. When my dad retired from the Navy he had gotten a bunch of them, I guess to take camping/hunting. Those "chocolate" bars were very waxy. I don't know why I thought of them now.

Annie, those Dante chocolates look really good!

FWIW, I used to love Mary Janes so much I once ate and entire bagful in one day 😳

Just once.

I was 20.

I have dental work now, so that's never going to happen again 😅

I once pulled the braces off my teeth eating a Sugar Daddy.

Another vote for Necco Wafers

Oh man! I used to love Sugar Daddy - and Milk Duds too.

A.K.A. dentist's little helpers 😁

If it is still being made, you'll probably find it here.
