Snickers was my favorite regular candy bar when I was a kid, but I loved Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and DeMet's Turtles were my favorite candy.

Now, I don't eat any of those ore any other candy for that matter.

Don't know where they're made, but the ones I'm buying lately taste just as I remember them. FWIW, I recently watched a TV episode of "How It's Made" that detailed how Clark Bars are made.

Another Zagnut fan here... this "Abba Zabba"... was that a regional candy? I've never heard of it.

Also Sugar Daddy.

It used to by Chunky, until Nestlé bought them.

Nestlé stopped using cashews in them, and substituted cheaper peanuts.

They are just not the same.

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.

Bounty. They were a thing for a little while, in the '80s. What I liked about them was they had a denser filling (and slightly thicker) than Mounds bars. Also, they were available with milk or dark chocolate, unlike Mounds.

Heath followed by Butterfinger as runner up.

For a long time it was Butterfinger then I my paternal grandfather got me hooked on 5th Ave and Zagnut.

I am glad that other forum members mentioned these. I thought I was the only person who enjoyed the 5th Ave or Zagnut.

I know when I asked most people about them they have no clue what they are.

I still get Zagnut from the candy store here and sometimes Cracker Barrel. I rarely see them in gas stations though.

A Heath Bar was my favorite in the 1950s and still is today.
