    I guess what they are trying to say is that it's hard to say which one is healthiest unless you literally took a bunch of candy bars and compared label to label their macros. When it comes to food, context does matter.
    true, but I've seen people on here go apoplectic over whether honey or agave was actually better than sugar in their tea in the morning. Don't tell me none of those people have an opinion on whether or not a snickers bar is better than eating sugar with a spoon ^_^

    Hmm. Maybe something with coconut? It's pretty high in fibre.

    How about one of those chocolate cherry things... at least you get fruit in there, even if it is swimming in syrup.

    Quest bars taste like candy bars but have all that fantastic protein and fiber!

    I am starting to appreciate dark chocolate. Never liked it before, but I started eating it and now milk chocolate seems lacking. I love green and blacks 85% dark chocolate. It is organic and non GMO, and super intense.

    My personal fave is almond kisses. 9 pieces for 210 calories. Almonds are 'nutritious' & delicious!

    My first thought is that Payday is the healthiest, since it is just a sweetened piece of peanut butter covered with peanuts.

    What about Cadbury fruit and nut bars. They have fruit AND nuts. Hateful, btw. Gimme some Dairy milk chocolate.

    Yes.

    Also, Baby Ruths now advertise themselves as if they were "energy bars".

    Most of the people responding in here so far, at least the ones I know, are in the "there's no such thing as unhealthy/junk food, food is just food, don't demonize any of it just fit it into your day" camp so they aren't going to have an opinion about relative health merits of individual candy bars.

    Once the sugar is addictive/evil camp folks get wind of this thread it will be a whole other ballgame because rather than telling you to eat whichever candy bar you like best, they will tell you to eat none of them because oh noes the sugar!

    Now I'm off to crack open a Vosges Smoke and Stout Caramel Dark Chocolate bar and a bottle of Malbec.

    Kind bar has a caramel/ sea salt bar and a dark chocolate,etc bar and they are right at 200 calories with lots of nuts. I also like their almond, coconut bar but I don't know but it doesn't have any "candy" (chocolate or caramel)

    OMG my husband loves zero bars. Cool to hear of another fan.

    OP- reese's peanut butter cups are my favorite, and somehow a pack of two has about as much calories as 2 tablespoons of peanut butter. So I say reese's.

    I'd say Almond Joy would be a top pick. Coconuts and almonds are both good, nutritious foods, and they're also freakin' delicious. And they come handily portion-controlled if you feel like sharing (I never do).

    Hands-down my favorite candy is Cadbury Nuts & Berries bars. No idea what's actually in them, I can't recall ever looking, I just know that they're the bomb.

    If you're going to have candy, have the candy you want the most. There's no point in wasting empty calories on something you don't REALLY enjoy. IMO. :)

    This gets my vote too - one of my favorites for sure, and peanuts and peanut butter are 2 of the 5, so protein (and caramel and pretzels covered in chocolate make it awesome).
