Reddit mentions: The best candy & chocolate bars

/u/MeishkaD said that my entry disappeared, so here it is again. I've deleted my previous entry now (after you said it disappeared), just to make sure it doesn't show up twice.

---

1.) Something that is grey. [Not on wishlist]


2.) Something reminiscent of rain. [Not on wishlist]


3.) Something food related that is unusual.


4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!)

This is for my classroom mostly. One of the projects the student's like to do is making board games. They like using various types of die, but when we made cardboard ones, they fall apart.

5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it!

I can't give too great a reference. This book is on my wishlist, as I've not read it, after all. It's supposed to be really funny though, with an interesting story. The downside is that getting the whole series is too expensive.


6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related! [Not on wishlist]


7.) Something related to cats. I love cats! (keep this SFW, you know who you are...)

These are pretty awesome.


8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it. [Not on wishlist]

I've wanted one of these for ages, but they're not useful enough to justify.


9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why? [Not on wishlist - I own it]

It's incredibly funny and almost everyone has seen the film it's based on. A lot of people have never even seen a parody movie, so it's a new genre to a lot of people and thus a new experience.


10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain.

A bit of a different item than normal. When the zombies attack, we're going to need to be well rested. Baseball bats and the like are common enough, but a good pillow is hard to find.


11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals. [Not on wishlist, as Amazon.co.uk item]

A book about learning to become a Primary School teacher. After my current teaching job, I want to go back and train as one in my home country.


12.) One of those pesky Add-On items. [Not on wishlist - the base game is on wishlist].


13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why?

Playstation 4. It's not on my wishlist as I think anyone would ever buy it, but more to remind myself that it's region-free and only $400 in the US if I can get enough giftcards someday. In my home country it's about $550. The why is mostly Kingdom Hearts 3 and Final Fantasy XV - both series which I've gained a lot of enjoyment from. There's also that some of my favorite series such as Disgaea are Playstation-exclusive.


14.) Something bigger than a bread box.


15.) Something smaller than a golf ball.


16.) Something that smells wonderful.


17.) A (SFW) toy.


18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school.

(For reading digital textbooks on)


19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be.

Disgaea D2. My current obsession has been trying to convert my old Disgaea 3 save, which has 120 hours and my Disgaea 4 save which has 95 hours, so that I can use it on another PS3.


20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand. [Not on wishlist.. but it should be]

The toilet throne. It's amazing that someone has thought of it, if nothing else. Now you can feel like a Queen or King, while going to the restroom.

1.) Something that is grey.

Silver is grey, right? ;)

2.) Something reminiscent of rain.

When I think of rain I think of cuddling up with a good cup of coffee.

3.) Something food related that is unusual.

Coffee chocolate Not that weird... but pretty amazing.

4.) Something on your list that is for someone other than yourself. Tell me who it's for and why. (Yes, pets count!)
Bones for my dog because he hates being alone!

5.) A book I should read! I am an avid reader, so take your best shot and tell me why I need to read it!

I haven't read this yet, but it's supposed to be amazing!

6.) An item that is less than a dollar, including shipping... that is not jewelry, nail polish, and or hair related!

This book

7.) Something related to cats. I love cats! (keep this SFW, you know who you are...)

meow.

8.) Something that is not useful, but so beautiful you must have it.

I don't think any nail polish is useful, but I love this color

9.) A movie everyone should watch at least once in their life. Why?

Shawshank Redemption Come on, it's amazing. And sad. And Stephen King.

10.) Something that would be useful when the zombies attack. Explain.

These would be particularly useful because I could keep my hair out of my face so I can see zombies better to kill them!

11.) Something that would have a profound impact on your life and help you to achieve your current goals.

skip for now

12.) One of those pesky Add-On items.
Apparently you can straighten your nose with this interesting little item Ohhhh, China.

13.) The most expensive thing on your list. Your dream item. Why?

This book is the most expensive item on my list. Dream item? Nah. A kindle would be my dream item, but not feasible to have on list right now.


14.) Something bigger than a bread box.

This big enough?

15.) Something smaller than a golf ball.

This ring is itty bitty!


16.) Something that smells wonderful.

This air freshener. Mmmm



17.) A (SFW) toy.

Amazon lists this as a toy, so I'm going to have to go with that!

18.) Something that would be helpful for going back to school.

These would be great to hang papers and reminders up on the fridge.

19.) Something related to your current obsession, whatever that may be.

I'm obsessed with books, so uh... most of my wish list. Or this bookmark that symbolizes all that is books.


20.) Something that is just so amazing and awe-inspiring that I simply must see it. Explain why it is so grand.

I'm sure you've seen this but come on! It's John Snuhhhh!

Bonus! Oregon Fruit

Fear cuts deeper thank swords! Thanks for the contest. =)

My absolute favs:

Taza Super Dark 85%

Tastes great but also the texture is amazing to me. I normally don't like very very dark chocolate because it's so hard and doesn't melt in your mouth quite right. But the texture of this is so crumbly and soft and it melts just beautifully.

Endangered Species Panther 88%


This is the sweetest and smoothest dark chocolate I've ever tried. It's really delicious.


Theo Pure 85% is also pretty darn good.



Edit: Oh wait - you said somewhat affordable. That kind of excludes the Taza - I only get it as a sometimes treat because of the expense.
The other two are on sale at Whole Foods often for 2 for $5 I believe.

These are awesome and you should definitely get them for your friend, they are a little under 5 bucks and free shipping!

I'd love this if I win

Thanks for the contest! Tell your friend Happy Birthday!! from me! :)

1. My new favourite Disney movie is Frozen. I like that it shows someone being utterly herself and shows that as a good thing. I like that it actually, openly mocks the common Disney trope of "I just met you, and this is crazy, but my name's [something], now let's have babies!" I like that it emphasizes non-romantic love as being able to be true and life-changing and truly unconditional. I like that it tells my (special ed) students that even if everyone else thinks they're cursed, even when it's terrifying to even be around other people, they can still be loved completely, for who they are.
   
   
2. These amazing chocolate bars that I found in Australia that will change your life! (Or at least taste delicious.)
   
   
3. See ya real soon!
   
   
4. This book written by a friend of mine.
   
   I've sadly never been to any Disney theme parks. Cost has always prohibited.

Trying to change too many things at once?

What's so bad about enjoying chocolate/chips/junk in moderation? If it's a weight-loss thing, then all you gotta worry about is total calories. If it's just general health, it might be better to change your diet one food at a time. A couple years back, I was able to lose 20lb while having a diet that consisted mostly of junk and restaurant food just by only worrying about my total calories.

Something that seems to drive me towards healthier food is training for something like a half marathon. The farther I get into the training program the more I seem to crave healthy food.

I still crave junk food but it's more a taste thing. For sweets, I found that having a piece or two of 100% dark chocolate https://www.amazon.com/Montezumas-Chocolate-Absolute-Black-Cocoa/dp/B072K1B8VL seems to tide me over for a whole day. I still haven't found a suitable equivalent for when I'm craving something savory.

Also, general advice, you better have a damn good reason for why you want to hit the gym, mediate, do yoga, tidy up, and so on. If it's because that's what "successful people do" then you ain't gonna get anywhere. If you have more internal reasons for them, you're much more likely to be successful with your plan.

My fitness motivation went through the roof after seeing a 400lb coworker struggle walking up just 3 stairs. I'm under 200lb but I could easily see myself becoming him over 20-30 years and I felt viscerally disgusted by the loss of mobility from being 400lb.

I meditated for about a month and half to help with minor anxiety. It worked but my desire to meditate went away with the anxiety. I don't care if some CEO says meditation is required for being successful, to me it's just a waste of time right now.

Water at work is easy if you're an office worker. Fill up a big bottle and drink every time you're bored. I can easily get 8 cups of water before lunch this way.

AMAZING CONTEST!!! my favorite movie of all time is kill bill and I would like to win this for myself. I don't really have any spending money and I haven't bought make up in months, I would love this pack!

I would enjoy this yummy .89 cent candy

Thanks for the contest! Sprout :)

THESE ARE DELICIOUS AND CANADIAN AND GLORIOUS AND WORDS JUST CAN NOT DO JUSTICE TO HOW AMAZING THEY ARE. PLEASE LET YOUR TASTEBUDS GRACE THIS DELICIOUS CONCOCTION ONCE IN YOUR LIFEEEE

Pour Some Sugar On MEHHHHHHH

1. Holy awesome that's fabulous!
   
2. OMG! Wonderwoman here for reals.
   
   

1. I don't know about you but I love dark chocolate and KitKats. =D
   
2. Surprise if I wins?

DON'T KILL ME GINGER but /U/PUREBREDGINGER, I love your ginger head. I think it suits you. But I totally understand the need for change. I would say that a dark color would look great on you with your pale skin. Maybe a chocolate brown. Yeah! Do that!

I love candy!

You'll want to putz around with the consistency (start with about a cup based on the above recipe and add from there, will probably be closer to 3c but I can't say for sure) but your favorite nut flour/meal ought to be a fine structural substitute for the powdered sugar - I'd suggest hazelnut or pecan ideally, but almond or walnut will work just fine as well - and just add in some artificial sweetener if it's not sweet enough for your taste.

As for the chocolate, you'll want to get the darkest you can, at least 70% but this would be my personal choice, and if you want more of that milk chocolate taste you can add a little sweetener and HWC when you melt it (not too much though, esp. of the latter).

Of course for the peanut butter you'll want to either make your own or get some with no sugar added.

Also don't really see what purpose the vegetable shortening serves that can't be taken care of with a little bit of butter instead, and that's going to be a much healthier fat than the shortening.

Doing that and following the recipe you linked, best guess you're looking at ~2-3g net carbs per piece.

Edit to add: Did a bit of Googling and found this. Seems like you're not the only one who's wanted these on keto, and seems like I'm definitely on the right track above.

Ok so here are some numbers and products:

Lindt Excellence 99% (99% Cacao) If you can find it, (and enjoy it) this is the best of the best (imho)

Net carbs for the entire 50 gram bar is 1g of carbs. Just keep in mind that this will be intensely chocolatey and not very sweet at all, you really need to enjoy that kind of bitter real chocolate taste in order for this to satisfy you. Lindt also has a few lower percentage chocolates:

90% Cacao - about 7g net carbs for the whole 100 gram bar. About 2g net for 1/4 of the bar

85% Cacao - about 13g net carbs for the whole 100 gram bar. About 4g net for 1/4 of the bar

Green & Black's Dark Chocolate (85% Cacao) This is what I have at my work desk right now.

(The german one I mentioned (Scharffen Berger 82% Cocoa) has the same net carbs as the G&B bar)

For 12 pieces (about half the bar) the net carbs are 11g. The pieces themselves are about the size of the last digit of your pinky finger, and I typically eat one row of 3 pieces at a time.

For 3 good sized blocks it is about 3g of carbs, and is very satisfying.

Ghirardelli Intense Dark Bar (86% Cacao) I list this one because you are very likely to find it in any grocery store.

For 1/2 of the bar, the net carbs are 11g. For 1/4 of the bar, 5.5g. This is pretty much the highest carb super dark bar I have come across, but it will do in a pinch.

Of course there is always 100% cocoa baking chocolate that is completely unsweetened, but I think the people who greatly enjoy this are few and far between, so anywhere from 85%-99% are good choices.

Happy birthday! Make a huge red-velvet cheese cake! In fact, go multi-layers! I have no idea how to make it, but I am imagining it, and it looks so yummy! Happy Happy Joy Joy, indeed!

Chocolate would make my tummy so happy!

I love those little summer sausage bites: http://www.johnsonville.com/products/beef-deli-bites.html

Got this recently at Kroger and it was great, but it's already been discontinued at my store: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Z21YDQ4

Lily's Chocolate Bars are really good, but pricey: http://smile.amazon.com/LILYS-Chocolate-Variety-Coconut-Original/dp/B00PHMC9L4

Microwave Pork Rinds: http://smile.amazon.com/Lowreys-microwave-chicharrones-original-1-75-Ounce/dp/B000UPFWW6

Other than that, maybe individual sized packs of nuts, string cheeses, little sample jars of fancy nut butters (or like those squeeze packs of Justin's Almond Butter).

Congrats on the whole family getting on board. That's great.

Thanks! a few blueberrys are great for sugary fix, and montezuma do a really great 100% cocoa chocolate I have found it amazing how these high cocoa chocolate bars start to taste really sweet! Everything tastes much sweeter. Looking at your post im guessing your weight and goals are pounds, mine are KGs!! :D

I may or may not be a bit drunk and hungry, but I'd LOVE these m&m's right now. I'm pretty sure they discontinued them, and I must have them in my BELLY.

And my name is something my old internship boss used to call me. My name is Zamantha, so he always called me Samantha with a Z. But that's too long of a username, so I just went with my nickname, Zamie. :D

Thanks for the contest!~

Oh wow! I have such admiration for EMT's! Good luck! I'm sure it will be hard work. EMT's are awesome! adasdadgas

IDK, but even if there is, [THIS] (http://www.amazon.com/Crunchie-Milk-Chocolate-Honeycomb-Center/dp/B0007U5J40) beats Twix by a million billion miles.

OMG Crunchie ♥♥♥

Chocolate because it's almost Easter!

A friend of mine was moving across the county to be closer to her girlfriend here in CA, so she had her boxes mailed to my place instead of the apartment. The UPS guy who delivered the boxes was SO KIND and made sure to handle every single package gently and even helped me move them inside and organize them. Normally their job is done once they get a signature, but this guy was so nice and helpful. I hope he had a good day.

Oh my. That... That is the tastiest thing I have ever seen.

Snickers Almond.
http://www.amazon.com/Snickers-Chocolate-Candy-Almonds-1-76/dp/B0051OKGCM/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1375418235&sr=8-9&keywords=Snickers+almond

I'm going to mix it up with some white chocolate! Here's a white chocolate coconut bar. They are awesome! Again another expensive example. :( Lindt is pretty expensive anyways. We have a grocery store that sells a generic version that is just as tasty.
http://www.amazon.com/Lindt-Excellence-Coconut-Chocolate-3-5-Ounce/dp/B000H299JY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375418445&sr=8-1&keywords=white+chocolate+coconut+bar

We get this one as a generic too. It's coffee flavored chocolate on bottom and white chocolate on the top for the cream. Coffee and cream!
http://www.amazon.com/Choceur-Coffee-Cream-Chocolate-Combined/dp/B003DX4HXW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1375418590&sr=8-1&keywords=coffee+and+cream+chocolate+bar

Wild card category?
I know it should be on Amazon, but I couldn't find it.
I found this at a local drug store. I couldn't not get it. It's granola coated popcorn. Both of theses flavors are equally delicious. It's one of my favorites for sure!
http://www.smartfood.com/granola-popcorn-blueberry-almond-vanilla.html

Haha, yes, ketchup :)

I LOVE BBQ sauce :3

I'm game!

I love chocolate/snacks. I favourite selection box is http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0000TA3BW/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1375385363&sr=8-7&pi=SL75 I don't know if you have them :) I just put in Amazon.com British candy XD

Crunchie's are delicious honeycomb filled chocolate bars http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0007U5J40/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1375385363&sr=8-2&pi=SL75

This looks amazing, but pricey o.o http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A4R2B6A/ref=mp_s_a_1_22?qid=1375385612&sr=8-22&pi=SL75

Eating larger portions of food, anything with lots of carbs and protein, meats like beef, lamb and the such have higher fats. Getting yourself a bag of protein shake powder to make up milkshakes and such can really help, if you have a fast metabolism like I do, get one that is suitable for fast metabolism.

One I might suggest is Optimum Neutrition, you can mix up a milkshake by adding other things into it which will significantly increase the calories you need, but also provide other necessities of neutrition for your body. I'd get yourself a 6 pound tub of Nutella or some other that you can mix into it, mix up with ice cream and full fat milk. As for snacking I'd get yourself Calorie Mate, its about 200 calories per 2 bars, there's 4 bars total bundled as 2's in foil wrapping in 1 box, it's enough to keep you fuller for longer. They come is small box packaging so you can easily have bundles of them stashed away for snacking on, there's a variety you can get, Cheese, Chocolate, Fruit, Maple, Plain, if you've never had them before I'd recommend buying one of each to see which ones you like most, but I personally recommend Maple or Fruit.

Oh hell yeah, if you're dealing with your cravings with cucumber and honeydew, you're killing it. On my worst days I break my fast with a slice of bread with cheese and then feel so bad about myself...

On good days it's lemon water and almonds and then I feel like a fuckin champ.

So I assume you're in the states since you said Whole Foods, if you're not I'm not sure I can help :)

I really like this brand "Lily's" for stevia sweetened chocolate. I've definitely seen it at my local WF, but it's cheaper to buy in bulk on Amazon so that's what I do: for example this, and for baking, this. Stevia is def my fave sweetner- I'm not big on sweets but when I'm craving sweet milk chai that's what I reach for! I know some of these are kinda expensive... but I'm betting you're saving money just by eating less, I know I am!

​

Also OMG 800cals is amazing. I need to get there.

Hello!! Not to encourage bad habits.....But you could also just eat very dark chocolate. Since I quit sugar I can eat 80-90% dark chocolate and am fine with it :) 5g of sugar won't kill ya! And honestly these are big chunks so I usually only eat two with a side of nuts (mixed or almonds) so 2.5g of sugar DEFINITELY won't kill you.

This one is my favourite: https://www.amazon.com/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Intense-Midnight-3-17-Ounce/dp/B001G0MG2I

Edit to say: If you're swearing it off as in not indulging AT ALL -- Then nuts are a great go to! And oddly enough, broth satisfies my cravings sometimes.

I would love to try this cadbury fudge. I found it earlier today. I love fudge and Cadbury creme eggs. Hoping this is equally delightful so

Pour Some Sugar On MEH

Thanks for contest

I just started keto. I'm on DAY 4. For so odd reason, I'm craving sweets. Funny thing is I never really craved sweets when I was not on keto. Anyways, do you all have recommendations on sweets, preferably chocolate, that is available online to order? I searched amazon and this caught my eye. It's a keto friendly dark chocolate made by ChocZero. It's 70% dark chocolate. I don't mind dark chocolate recommendations if yall have any. If you have recommendations on regular milk chocolate, that's fine too. Thanks in advance.

https://www.amazon.com/ChocZero-Chocolate-Alcohol-Artificial-Sweetener/dp/B01LWDYH5Q/ref=sr_1_7_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1525990054&sr=8-7&keywords=keto%2Bchocolate&th=1

Is it safe to assume that your brother is in the military deployed in Okinawa? If so, american candy is readily available on the stores in the base so if you'd like to save room you could possibly leave a little out.

I would recommend sending some ethnic snacks and trinkets which he probably won't see much of in Japan such as Pulparindo or Chili covered lollipops . If he favors more of a standard fair, you could possibly get him some Salt Water Taffy.

If your brother is a beer person you could also maybe get him some souvenir glasses / coasters / or growlers from a local brewery.

Respectfully,

Juunbugs

Crunchie! Because I'm awesome, and I deserve candy. Also, I have never had these before, and I would love to try them! :)

Thanks for the contest!

If possible... add these 88% dark bars (the carb levels are low enough that you can fit it in, and it's very hard to eat more than a few squares) to your stash.

I recommend that brand because the flavor is consistently excellent, but it's bitter enough that it is a good gateway to even higher percentages.

Try not to eat conventional chocolate even as a cheat -- 80-95% is incredibly sweet when one is full-on avoiding refined sugar, but IMO it tastes much less sweet and satisfying when one has had <60% recently.

Awesome that you halted your dive into the candy bag!

I love the Endangered Species chocolate at 88% cocoa. 10% of net profits are donated to helping endangered species. It's about 4.5 net grams of carbs for three pieces which is very doable depending on carb intake. It is VERY chocolaty and on while on a keto diet satisfyingly sweet. I usually get about 3 pieces a day in and it keeps me from craving anything else. Some days I skip it altogether.

http://www.amazon.com/Endangered-Species-Dark-Chocolate-3-Ounce/dp/B000EUF9CK

This and this both look and sound delicious. I would be happy with either one <3



Thanks for the contest :)

pour some sugar on meh.

[These] (http://www.amazon.com/Crunchie-Milk-Chocolate-Honeycomb-Center/dp/B0007U5J40/ref=wl_it_dp_o_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=1PRII2BIRNFS3&coliid=I1CY46884RM2YJ) things are so good. They are sweet and crunchy. They also crumble a bit. My mouth watering right now. When I was growing up we called this type of candy seafoam. There was a local farmers market that my grandma would always buy some at. So they pack a nostalgic punch as well. I love these too because Cadbury chocolate is ma favorite!!!

Toffee bars are the best! I have not tried Toffee Crisps, but I imagine they are the most perfect candy, as they aren't available in the US. UK candy is always so much better.

Pour Some Sugar On MEH

Thank. You.

Seriously, thanks for the contest!

munchies AND muchies just in case :) Nice to see I'm not the only one awake!

I have this and this on my Under $6 wishlist--pick whatever you like the most if I win :D

My guess is 638. =]

Best of luck bowling and thanks for the contest!

I have these Crispy M&Ms on my list! I want them because they're discontinued in the US and have been for YEARS, but I still have lovely memories of eating them with my grandmother when they first launched here. They're a very nostalgic food for me!

I plan on taking the bag and filling up my TARDIS cookie jar with M&Ms. :)

I love num nums more than I should. :))
I would love to try these bars.

Thanks for having a contest!

Would love these

I have been stuck in bed, sick like a dog. This candy will most definitely fortify my taste buds with the rich chocolaty goodness, that it so greatly needs.

My kingdom for a Crunchie bar! These are the BEST.

Also, I was totally going to suggest to you to eat toast with peanut butter and banana, drizzled with honey. That's the best. <3

I’m not sure if they are sold in stores anywhere, other than an Irish/UK novelty store, but you can [[WARNING!]] purchase them on Amazon!

They aren’t crunchy; they basically crumble in your mouth... the chocolate is like the chocolate from the Cadbury Creme Eggs. So delicious! I believe Cadbury makes a crunchy bar too, but I’ve never had it.

Chewy caramel, stretched like a pretzel over a long bar, covered in chocolate. Curly Whurly It's chewy, it's fun, it has holes in between to aerate your mouth. It's delicious.

Pour Some Sugar on MEH, and don't do the third thing.

Thanks for contest.

These and these are really nomtastic !

This is my kitchen-y wishlist and this is my <~$5 snack wishlist.

I'm fine with whatever, but I'd prefer this lunchbox and/or this lunchbox to make lunch more fun ;) (they're under the kitchen-y wishlist)

I think this might be the cheapest thing and these are probably the most awesome candies I've ever eaten.

Flake

Violet Crumble

I would also buy your friend a Crunchie bar. It is like a Violet Crumble but with better chololate as per internet comments.

Some Buy-Low locations have an ok international candy selection. It is separate from the normal candy.

This because it is so darn delicious. I love British chocolate. Cheap enough to buy 2, even! ;)

Thanks for doing this!

I have these Chocolate Flake Bars on my WL!

Thanks for the SWEET contest! And congrats to your son. I remember how big of a deal it was when I was a kid to lose a tooth. And I get all excited when my own children lose one as well. gummi bear

$2: This decal is pretty cool ($1.67)

$4: Another decal! ($3.30)

$6: Mmmmm...candy....($5.99)

$8: This one was easy ($7.99)

As your taste changes, you can accommodate super dark chocolate. This Taza Wicked Dark (95%) is one of my favorites.

I tend to eat a quarter bar (one snapped off section) which has 7g carbs minus 4g fiber. A nice little treat that easily fits my carb limit.

The reviews are pretty funny.

>I use these a lot in remote Russian wilderness to recover large portions of my stamina bar, also works well as a distraction if thrown. 5 out of 5 would recommend

Crunchies!

fly away home

That's pretty awesome that your flight is SO much cheaper! Where are you coming from/going for it to be so much?

1. Curly Wurly Bars. I really want to try them because they are from England, and based on what I've learned here...if the candy is as good as the people, they must be delicious.

Thanks.

Honestly you're better off if you just avoid all sugar alcohols except erythritol. Last time I did low carb I was eating the sugar-free Werther's, Russell stover, Reeses, etc, and I lost very little weight. I learned more recently that something about those sugars can still affect insulin and other processes, and I learned about this just after I had bought a whole bunch on sale. So now my SO eats them for me :)

Lily's chocolate 🍫 is good and is made with erythritol and stevia... and for me, for the first time in my life, I can have just a little, and not eat a whole bar. So even though they're a bit expensive, one bar lasts me about 3 days. So worth it. Here's the amazon link but honestly they're a little cheaper at Whole Foods, at least they were last week when they were on sale.

I love food! The weirdest thing I've eaten would probably be frog's legs. They were delicious!

num nums I would love to try this Curly Wurly! Thank you for the contest!!

Here you go: https://www.amazon.com/Montezumas-Chocolate-Absolute-Black-Cocoa/dp/B072K1B8VL

Absolutely no sugar, milk, or anything else: 93% chocolate liquor, 7% cocoa nibs.

Trader Joe's usually stocks it cheaper than Amazon, if you have one around.

Yes, it takes some getting used to. I basically trained myself to like it. If you have already cut out sugar for a few weeks it really helps. Once you get used to it though... I don't even like sweetened chocolate any more, it tasted diluted, and this is so much richer and and just amazing. The texture is likely unlike any chocolate you have had, and the taste lasts for a long time.

Wish list: Giant Toblerone

Actually purchased: Shark cordless vacuum, because some bloke on here said they were really good once and if you can't trust a random comment on /r/casualuk then who can you trust? Edit: I should point out I have been looking at these for a few months and it is actually a decent enough offer compared to the usual prices.

A chocolate gummi bear? Where have I been!?

Flake bars! Never tried them, but they look delicious!

Does this count? I know it's $0.55 over the limit but I'll pay for that myself. You can send me a gift card or I can send you a gift card for it. num nums

I just had a really good kind! Raspberry with salted caramel filling. Sooo good.

I really want to try these!

I would guess about 1% of Calgarians will do so. I would peg my guess at 12,500 people. This would be further reduced by people without homes and who will not be giving out candy, so reduce that number by half.


So to answer your question, 6,250 people will be giving out full size candy bars this Halloween in Calgary.


I am not buying full size candy bars for kids this year. I am handing these out:

​

Only 4.5 KG per bar, but that should make those kids happy.

If you have a Trader Joe's near you, I highly recommend trying Montezuma's Absolute Black with Cocoa Nibs ... it's so good !!!

​

https://www.amazon.com/Montezumas-Chocolate-Absolute-Black-Cocoa/dp/B072K1B8VL?th=1

​

Dangerous though... don't believe those people who say, oh, you'll never eat the whole thing !

​

I've eaten the whole thing. Only once, but it did happen LOL.

RAoA has made me happen when people here talk to me on the daily/nightly threads and the discussion threads and stuff and actually continue to conversation! It makes me feel like I actually have something to contribute!

Candy also makes me happy. Which is probably why I was eating the oreos I got early, and am trying to not eat the rest of the cake I made yesterday. ><

Because I'm Happy!

You're welcome. And you'll get to be "expecting" as an added bonus!

Sugar-free chocolate that comes in 1 oz individually wrapped portions - here's the Amazon link. I just finished my two boxes of the dark chocolate with hazelnut, and I just ordered the dark chocolate with almonds. They're really good! Only 2 net carbs per portion (some of the flavors are 3 net carbs). Satisfies my sweet tooth.

Choc Zero also makes several varieties of sugar-free syrups. I tried the maple syrup and it was totally gross though, so I don't really want to try any of the others. I'll stick with the chocolate!

Pour Some Sugar On MEH!


Crunchie Milk Chocolate with Honeycomb Center! I have never had these before but they sound amazing! :3

Why are peppers so nosy?

because they jalapeño business!

Why was there no food left after the Halloween party?

In memory of my grandfather Bill Higgins. I visited hime every year in California and we would take long walks down the beach, which I took for granted. Now that he is gone, I realize how special our time together was. I wish I could just take 1 more walk. These candy bars

Fair warning, these aren't the Crispy M&Ms from your childhood, they're the European ones, so the chocolate has a Nutella-y flavor to them, but they're still fucking delicious. I ate the whole bag before I went to work.

Yeah, Mr. White! Yeah, Science!

If you'd like, especially since it's october, I suggest recreating my ooky-spooky contest from last august. Contest creation rules may have changed since then though.

Make me smile, Rasta! These Flake bars were my mom's favorite! I haven't had any in years!

Unless money is of no object, you probably don't want to rely on pre-packaged products that label themselves as keto friendly.

|Product|Cost|Cost / 2000 calories|
|:-|:-|:-|
|Next Mile Meals Sausage Scramble |$9.50 |$35.85 |
|Next Mile Meals Beef Tacos|$14.00 |$48.28 |
|Keto Brick (single)|$12.00|$24.00|
|Keto Brick (seven)|$50.00|$14.29|
|Keto Brick (thirty) |$180.00|$12.00|
| Choczero |$14.99|$41.64|

You can make your own nut and seed mixes that come in around $5.00 per 2000 calories. Noatmeal can be made for about the same price, or a little more if you add brand name protein powder to it.

Just a word of caution about Choczero. It is made with monkfruit, which has <0.5 grams of sugar in it per tsp. Due to labeling requirements, products that have 1 tsp of monkfruit per serving can list it as zero carbs, as Choczero does, making it look like zero net carbs. One teaspoon or one serving of Choczero won't be a problem, but it's a source of hidden carbs if you consume chocolate like many other hikers. Additionally, some artificial sweeteners have no impact in small doses, but in larger doses can kick some people out of ketosis. Like most things keto, your mileage will vary.

Maybe with some candy to fill in the price.

CONGRATULATIONS SHORINBB!!

Cassie May conked out. She has never fallen asleep like that ever again. She was embarrassed after the fact I think because she is too prim and proper to sleep in such a manner! She is spoiled, I love her.

just put RAOs pasta sauce, cheese, pepperoni, sometimes red onions and sauteed mushrooms in garlic and butter and basil melt it in the oven (use whatever random tortilla pizza recipe) then roll it up. or if you are even lazier, omelette pizza crust or just pan fried cheese pizza crust too.

Wings!
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FK9ANSU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Bdubs has a great lemon pepper seasoning and I am lazy so I got it off amazon prime. So I put frozen wings into my air fryers for 45 mins at 400 and I toss them like every 15 mins or so. I put the season on afterwards then I take chiptole mayo or aioli and put trader joes everything bagel seasoning in it and i spoon it on as I eat.

Smashed burger with cloud bread
http://www.webtoons.com/en/slice-of-life/cooking-comically/ep-102-the-smashed-burger-/viewer?title_no=622&episode_no=102

https://ketologic.com/recipe/bratwurst-pepper-onions/

Sides
Bagged veggies (the nuke for 5 mins frozen veggie bags, cauliflower, broc, etc) then butter or aioli topped and mixed around.

Keto mac and cheese but usually we just eat it all in one serving so its not really a side.

Asparagus with garlic and lemon

There is some more but I cant remember at this time.
also Keto chocolate squares from amazon.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LWDYH5Q/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

edit: I cannot recommend Headbangers Kitchen and Ketoconnect youtubes enough.

Clarkport Pantry on Sheffield used to have a shelf of nothing but British candy but they closed. I was super pissed when I went to see my friend who lives over there and it was boarded up.

However, I've found that non-perishable food stuff can easily be fulfilled by Amazon. Bought a metric fuck ton of flake and penguins on there a year ago. Still working my way through them.

Cadbury chocolate :D omnomnom.

Pour Some Sugar On Meh

I've honestly been wanting to try these for awhile I hear a lot of people on here talking about them, I'd like to try them! Crunchie

cheapest thing

most awesome, coolest thing

I bought some 95% and it was bitter as heck, but i loved the stone ground texture. i'll eat a piece every now and then..

https://www.amazon.com/Chocolate-Amaze-Ground-Organic-Wicked/dp/B00SNEJ83U

These Crunchies because I've never had them, they don't sell them here, and I've heard so much about how great they are!

I would love this toffee crisp because it's delish and we can't get it here :(

My favorite food, not just candy, is Reese's peanut butter cups.

A nice candidate I would like to suggest would be the ultimate survival food.

I already got these from /u/BallsOnParade , but I eated all of them already...

My favorite candy though has to be Vosges' Mo's Milk Chocolate Bacon Bar <3

Food! :D

Here's one of my favorites, super dark vegan chocolate.

It says it has 4 grams of protein, which would fit into his allowance. Lower grades have slightly less protein as well. I guess cacao beans carry some protein in them.

Fun fact: you can buy them in the UK section gift shops of Disney World at Epcot (World's Showcase). I bought about 10 of them to take home with me after vacationing there. Unfortunately I ate them all in two days.

Also you can buy a case of them on Amazon

Yeah that's what they look like. You can buy them off of Amazon

My stepfather's Old English Sheepdog once ate most of a giant novelty-sized Toblerone bar (including the cardboard box and foil wrapper) that my stepfather had bought at an airport duty-free shop. Fortunately, it was really, really milky chocolate.

He didn't take her (the dog) to the vet (we were poor), and she was off her rocker for about 12 hours. At one point she dug up the root ball of a banana tree and ate about half of that. Interestingly, this seemed to calm her down a bit.

TL;DR Chocolate might not kill your dog, but it can definitely make him/her crazy for a day.

Ihatemydentist!
Cadbury Fudge from my Under 5 WL :D Thanks for the contest!

80 cm of fun times.

Link to amazon Expensive!

Does Costco have a suggestion form? :)

What is the difference between this and the many 95-100% chocolates available on, say, Amazon? Even major producers like Lindt have them - can even get these at my grocery store! Or am I missing something?

I really like ChocZero’s Keto Bark.
My only issue is they taste so good that I eat a million so I have to limit myself.

Lots of Gold Ms

I wouldn't so no to a month :)

It's funny because if you go to the "Also bought" section of the Amazon page for CalorieMate, you can see that MGS items are listed.

I hope it's a giant [toblerone] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004INT01A/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/190-8895502-2632129)

In 1999, Crispy M&M's were released. They were slightly larger than the milk chocolate variety and featured a crispy wafer center. They were discontinued in the United States in 2005. They are still available in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia.

I looked up CalorieMate on Amazon, and the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" section is hilarious.

Golden M&Ms

I'd prefer platinum-190

3 months please!

I was about to come back here and go "I don't know how people find cheap candies that aren't Japanese or something" when I found this insane thing.

1. Cadbury Curly Wurly Bar from England (Pack 6 Bars) Why I want to try it: One, it's only $4.08. Two, it's a candy that I'm betting is Britishland only and I'm always interested in trying things you can't get in America. Three, it has free shipping. Four, IT HAS FREE SHIPPING! Yes, I said that twice, but it's very important. It would be shipped all the way over from Britishland to America and it has absolutely no shipping or sales tax of any kind. That's insane. And there are six bars. For those reasons I very much want to try it!
   
   
2. "Pour Some Sugar On MEH"
   
   
3. Fourth thing!

And there are chocolate bars that have even fewer carbs. I actually like the taste of Wicked Dark over some 85% dark chocolate bars. The texture is a bit dry, but the flavor is really good. I also jus like saying Wicked Dark in a Boston accent; even though I'm not from nor even visited Boston.

Yep they have to come from germany, but they're worth it.

Here. I just checked eBay and I can get it from Japan for the same price. Looks the same to me. Just curious

Crispy M&Ms You can't get them in the US anymore :( I love crunchy food.

Exchanging is more fun but if it comes down to it you can order them off Amazon

>It tasted almost exactly like spiced fruit leather.

You made mead out of this, then.

Available on Amazon too!

Nah I'm sure we could buy it online

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B003UBFYK2?pc_redir=1409967782&robot_redir=1

Here it is on amazon. Or any local Mexican grocery store should carry them.

Theyre on amazon, if these are the correct ones. http://www.amazon.com/Crispy-Chocolate-Candy-Crisped-Center/dp/B003UBFYK2 Imported from Germany.

They're everywhere in Australian supermarkets. And you can buy them online from a German Amazon store.

I add vanilla to my coke when I go to Sonic and at amazon you can buy crispy m&ms

I'm on vegan CICO not vegan keto, but I know people who are and they tell me they eat: Beyond Meat (1 gram net carb), Beyond sausages (2 net carbs), Gardein chick'n strips are 4 net carb, Some nutritional yeasts are 1 net carb, Mushrooms 1 net carb, bell peppers are 3 net carb per 100 grams, 2 cups of spinach = 1 net carb, chinese cabbage = 1.5 carb per cup, some wraps are 1 or 2 net carbs, low carb bagels, low carb cookies, avocado pesto, low carb bread, shirataki rice & noodles. Here's an example of a low carb pizza wrap. Many of the more nutrient dense veggies are lower carb, so that's good, but really vegan keto is going to require a lot of creativity with sauces etc. Just doing low carb is much easier obviously.

edit to add - a few other lower carb meals I found looking through the sub I help mod:

• Vegan Chorizo Breakfast bowl
  
• Thai Lemongrass Soup
  
• Nacho Style Sweet Peppers
  
• Bánh mì style collard wrap
  
• Mongolian Seitan Lettuce Wraps
  
• Zoodle Pho
  
• vegan sausage snack plate
  
• Thai peanut tofu in lettuce wraps
  
• Broccolini Mushroom Stir Fry (pic is lower right)
  
• Beyond breakfast plate (leave off toast)
  
  Some other vegan low carb products:
  
  
• Choc Zero (delicious, but expensive)
  
• Peanut Flour (good for sauces)
  
• Lily's Dark Choc Chips

it depends on each person individually. I ate quest bars my first time around on keto and they increased my carb cravings. I started eating one a day and soon I was eating two, and then three, daily. I plateaued while I was eating them, especially when eating two or more per day, and began to dropped weight quickly once I stopped eating them.

If you'e looking for something that is a "treat" on keto I would reccomend Ghirardelli 86% dark chocolate http://www.amazon.com/Ghirardelli-Chocolate-Intense-Midnight-3-17-Ounce/dp/B001G0MG2I/ref=pd_sim_gro_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=08BZNMR3TZBPFBSZ5P1W) or bulletproof coffee.

Nope. It's cacao. It's stil gross when it gets up to those numbers. You should still try it though, if you enjoy dark chocolate, this is good stuff.
