“Discover the Surprising Chocolate Bar That Just Beat Out Your All-Time Favorite!”
Worst: Chunky is just weird
Adventurous candy aficionados probably appreciate Chunky because there really isn’t any other bar quite like it — with its combination of milk chocolate, peanuts, and raisins, it’s almost like an all-in-one Glosette.
While the hearty filling makes Chunky bars more than live up to their name, the ingredients themselves will be divisive. Peanuts are a tried and true staple in candy bars, but raisins are kind of a weird addition.
Best: 100 Grand is perfectly balanced
Once known as the $100,000 Candy Bar, 100 Grand costs considerably less — and while these bars are on the small side, they pack a ton of texture and flavor into every bar.
The bar consists of a generous filling of pure caramel covered by chocolate, while the top is enrobed in crispy rice pieces. These three straightforward components are perfectly balanced and complement each other incredibly well.
Worst: 5th Avenue is a poor substitute
If you have a Butterfinger craving and can’t find one on short notice, a 5th Avenue might be the best available substitute. While both bars share the same premise — flaky peanut brittle enrobed in milk chocolate — 5th Avenue just doesn’t match up.
The main problem here is sweetness. 5th Avenue’s predominant flavor is just sugar, while Butterfinger is a little more subtle with its sweetness, adding notes of peanut butter and salt.
