I gotta agree with Clinton about chocolate being overrated. And candy is for wimps - you gotta go right to the source. If you want sheer flavor, nothing, but nothing, beats a big tablespoon full of black strap molasses dumped straight on the tongue. And if you gotta have sweet with it, a spoonful of dark brown sugar is a distant second. (being said by a man who can't do sugar in any form anymore) Limiting oneself to candy, Seafoam (a.k.a. sponge candy or spun molasses) is tough to beat. Texture and consistancy of malt balls, slightly burnt flavor of toffee, and chocolate coated. If it weren't for the chocolate, Seafoam would be my number 1 choice, but that designation has to go to Maple Nut Goodies.
