Similar Bars and Ranking

1. Zagnut-The best bar, flaky and light, never had an “old sticky one”, has great crunch and instead of mocklate like the Butterfinger, it has toasted coconut
2. 5th Avenue, similar to the zagnut, chocolate is not great, has a good flavor though
3. Clark Bar, weak on the peanut butter flavor, but solid, oldschool bar, nice crunch and decent chocolate
4. Butterfinger, it falls behind because of the poor chocolate and artificial flavor, still, decent enough
5/6. Atkinson peanut butter bar/Chick o Stick, the first is the classic hard candy with peanut butter and the whole thing is encased in hard candy, I see them most often in twin cylinder packs, there is a smaller version, but they suffer even more from the problem below. Chick o Stick is orange, peanut butter/hard candy like all of these, but with coconut (making it close to a Zagnut), These two are harder to find nowadays and when you do, they are often stale, which means they will stick your mouth together (especially the first and the mini version of it EVEN MORE).

I would revise the rankings if you could get them all fresh, but with the little guys hard to find, that is rarely a given. That said, a frozen butterfinger is great at times!

Thanks for the Butterfinger history. Child, I had no idea! And you're completely right about the need for freshness. Here in the south, I only buy them in a busy supermarket. Too chancy at a crossroads gas station. It's like candy corn. Only good at Halloween. And again, only from a busy grocery.

Thank you "Lia" for your comment.
(We of course use quotation marks to respect the innocent.)

I updated the post to reflect that "Margaret" was indeed the review asker. And for you, "Lia," we shall do our best to humbly oblige a review of those orange things you so adore.

I love this post. I’m only sorry it was really a certain “Margaret” who wondered about Butterfingers. An uncertain “Lia” hoped someone else–meaning you, because who else does this important work?–found ten-star bliss in those orange marshmallow peanuts. Another friend of a certain “Judy” then pretty much threatened an intervention. She mocked “Lia’s” orange peanuts jones, saying they’d put her off orange-colored foods for the rest of her life. If you gurus don’t stand up for this candy, who will?
