I think Ryan is confusing Krackel with Crack again.

Wrong. It's a well-known fact that Rice Krispy Treats are the best crisped rice-based refreshment.

You better enjoy both now, Ryan, before you go vegan.

What? Ryan's going vegan? In that case you can check out veganstore.com. They have a fine selection of chocolates, including vegan imitations of Whatchamacallits, Reese's cups and Almond joy. Mmmmmmm, vegan.

Well, I don't know for sure, but he's a veggieboy now and going vegan is the next step, if one chooses to take another step.

And for my money, Mr Goodbar beats both. Nuts can't lose.

Elizabeth -- Not vegan yet... but someday, perhaps (see the Veg Blog for a full response to this question I get frequently).

Robert -- Mr. Goodbars are mighty fine, too...

Ryan,

Could you put up a video of the fight. I couldn't seem to get it on HBO and don't see it anywhere in the listings.

Unfortunately, I forgot to tape it from PPV. You should have seen the end, though -- chocolate was everywhere. The ring was a mess.

For my money (and that ain't much):
N-E-S-T-L-E-S, Nestle's makes the very best... chocolate.

Nestle's also owns Stouffer Foods, Inc., manufacturer of my favorite delicacy, Stouffer's French Bread Pizza. Two of those, a bottle of caffiene-free Pepsi and an NBA game and I'm set.

Awesome, Steve-O. I'm happy to hear I'm not the only conflicted individual who drinks diet soda while eating decidedly non-diet candy bars. No b-ball or micropizza for me, though...

Krackel is the best!...it's my fav. candy bar, sadly I found out from my bf who went to Hershey and asked, they stopped making it....except for in those variety pack things.....R.I.P. Krackel 1938-2005.....

In my 35 years of life, I don't recall ever seeing Krackel in any size but the teeny size in the variety packs. Maybe Hershey didn't market it well. There must be others like me for whom it's a surprise to find out that there was a full size version of Krackel.

Wow, how did I miss this Ping? Crunch wins, no question. I do not like Hershey's chocolate because it is waxy, the exception being the Skor bar.
