York, Peppermint Patties Dark Chocolate Candy, 40 Oz

I am a York peppermint pattie fiend and the bag and price at Walmart cannot be beat. Product is always fresh and I never buy any where else except Walmart.

2013 was my first Halloween (as an adult) living in a place where the kids do trick-or-treating. So: I ordered tons of candy (very cheap here online), and basically I ordered one package of every variety of candy bar available - because as long as I was ordering candy, something I normally never purchase, I wanted to see which candy bar tasted best. Some varieties were new to me since they were not made when I was young enough to trick-or-treat! I compared these (in order of my rating): - York Peppermint Patties - Milky Way - PayDay - Nestle Crunch - Three Musketeers - Take 5 - Baby Ruth - Mr. Goodbar - Butterfinger - Twix - Mounds - Almond Joy - Snickers - Snickers Almond - 100 Grand - Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate - Hershey's Cookies & Cream - Halloween (White Chocolate) Kit Kat - Heath I found that my tastes have *mostly* not changed since childhood. I was surprised at the taste of Hershey's Special Dark Chocolate, which I have tasted recently and which seems to taste much *less good* than it did just a few weeks ago. Perhaps the flavor is seasonal, or perhaps they recently altered the formula? Also, the Snickers bars seem heavier and less pleasant-tasting than I remember (though in this case my memory is several years old). The Nestle chocolate was, in general, superior to the Hershey's, so bars that are mostly chocolate did well for Nestle and poorly for Hershey's. PayDay was surprisingly good (joke name - it's mostly peanuts - and to be honest, I'd rather have just the peanuts, that's what made it taste so good). Conclusion: I was pretty surprised to discover that my tastes in candy bars have not changed much in 40 years. York Peppermint Patty is still the best, Milky Way still second-best. Good stuff if eaten in moderation!
