Hello, GAF. I was thinking how to start this topic, but let's make it simpe: russian guy loves candy. We don't have a lot of tastes out here. For example, the biggest thing right now is white chocolate Twix. No peanut butter Snickers, only two variants of M&Ms (chocolate and peanut), standart Mars' and KitKats. I was really surprised to see Wispa one day at store, but it's a rare one. Recently Reeses became available on the marked. I love them. And i've tried some stuff before - i really love coconut KitKat. Honestly, i love everything with coconut in there.

Thing is, my friend comes to Russia this May. He's a nice dude and asked me if i wanted something from US to bring here. Of course i want sweets. That damn 2 kilo Jelly Bean jar! Chocolate bars, jelly, gum... everything that comes to mind. But there's nothing really comes since i've tried only a few imported sweets. So i'm asking you to help me and name some of your favorite sweets.

Oh, i've been talking about choclate bars mostly, but it doesn't have to be it. You can just name every candy you have in mind.

TD;LR: Friend from Chicago comes to Russia, which sweets/candy should I ask him to bring?

Seriously though, my favorite candy bar here is the Three Musketeers bar. i think something similar is available in Europe, not sure about Russia?

 

[Zombine]

Best chocolate ever.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Do you guys have the Hershey's Cookies & Cream bar? Normally I stick to dark chocolate, but this thing is on a whole 'nother level, as far as low-cost candy goes.

EDIT: Beaten, huh, lol.

How about chocolate covered pretzels?

 

[Alucrid]

i would be obese if not for my self control

C'mon, he should at least go for the OG.

Also, OP, do you guys have Junior Mints? If not, ask him to bring along some of those.

Yeah, we have Hershey's Cookies & Cream thing. It's been my favorite since my godfather gifted me boxes of this when i was a kid.

Also, OP, do you guys have Junior Mints? If not, ask him to bring along some of those.

Nope. Never heard of it.

watermelon ones are way better than regular sour patch kids

 

[chimpden]

The only sweets I import.

 

[Xe4]

Fantastic.

 

[Kas]

These things are amazing frozen.

 

[Jigolo]

Kit Kat bars are the GOAT

 

[Poodlestrike]

Like hell they are.

 

[Floridian]

They're not candy but they sure are good.

 

[Kitsunebaby]

I'm really sad we didn't have the candy swap last fall. I always had a blast sending over tons of different US candies to some gaffer across the globe.

 

[brochiller]

Crispity, crunchity, peanut buttery.

 

[shem935]

Hmmm. Begrudgingly retract my non candy recommendation.

Spoiler

Op should still have them smuggled in though.

Not just Europe.

 

[kirby_fox]

Try all of the kinds of M&Ms. There's so many of them.

But everyone knows Crunchy is the best kind.

 

[glow]

These are the best candy bars in the world.

 

[rtcn63]

 

[Rhomega Beta]

Nope. Never heard of it.

My favorite candy.

 

[Dr. Benton Quest]

I second these. Godlike.

 

[JimJamJones]

A god among men.

 

[GamerJM]

These are good, but freshmen year of college I bought like multiple boxes of them with my meal points and ate all of it. I still like them but I always feel like that was enough for a lifetime.

 

[SalvaPot]

 

[gsrjedi]

Sweettarts Gummies
Butterfinger Cups

 

[kamakazi5]

Probably the best chewy sour candy. I recently discovered these which aren't as sour but still good.

I wish I could find find some chewy candy with the sourness of Warheads.

As for chocolate OP, dark chocolate Almond Joy are pretty good.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Twix, it's the only candy with a cookie crunch.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Skor

 

[braves01]

Reese's Crispy Crunchy bars are the holy grail of candy here

 

[Nickle]

So good

I ate gobstoppers or jaw breakers the Willie Wanka kind all the time when I was young. I couldn't watch a movie without them.

Now it's nicotine gum and a diet Pepsi.

 

[Conor_Fool]

Where do I obtain one of these? Looks awesome

 

[NervousXtian]

Gummy cola bottles.. fuck that.. gummy anything.

 

[Duress]

Skittles!
