Kit Kat in the US is made by Hershey's, not Nestlé, fun fact.
Reese's should be #1, peanut butter and chocolate is the perfect combo.
Almond Joy, sometimes you feel like a nut 🥥
3 Musketeers is just air with chocolate lol
Snickers really satisfies, deserved #1.
Butterfinger got better after Ferrero changed the recipe
Heath bar in ice cream is life.
Payday is so underrated, salty and sweet.
Baby Ruth, Caddyshack forever 😂
