“Discover the Surprising Chocolate Bar That Just Beat Out Your All-Time Favorite!”
Worst: Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews are incredibly boring
Sometimes, you’ll see something on a grocery store shelf that feels like it belongs in the past. Goldenberg’s Peanut Chews — with their boring name and boring packaging — are one of these products.
Goldenberg’s deserves credit for making these bars vegan-friendly, but that doesn’t make up for their bland and boring texture. They’re a cult favorite in certain areas of the U.S., but there’s a reason they haven’t gained wider popularity.
Best: Caramello is caramel perfection
Cadbury produces both Caramello and Caramilk. They share the same deliciously smooth caramel but with different form factors. In either case, simplicity is the key: Devoid of extraneous ingredients like peanuts, the caramel-chocolate combination is absolutely divine.
Caramel is a welcome addition to any number of candy bars, but the bars that consist of milk chocolate, caramel, and nothing else are extremely underrated — particularly when the milk chocolate comes from a brand like Cadbury.
Worst: Krackel is the worst Halloween treat
Krackel is one of those bars that seemingly only exists in fun-sized Halloween goodie bags. It begs the question of whether the bar is worth producing, even in these smaller sizes.
Krackel’s closest comparable is Nestle Crunch. We weren’t big fans of Crunch bars either, but at least Crunch has some redeeming characteristics. Krackel is just a poor substitute, even if you get it for free at Halloween.
