that being said, I am very glad they brought it back. it tastes better far and away. whatchamacallit tastes ok to begin with, if it is fresh, which it nearly never is and when it is not fresh the caramel layer gets way too hard and the bar is difficult to cut with a sharp bladed knife much less eat with your teeth. it does have a catchy name though, and is def. no where near the worst candy bar i have tried.

Thingamajig however is easy to chew, has a true cocoa flavor and a nice balance with not too much chocolate or peanut butter either one, unlike modern day reese’s cups which keep reducing the amount of chocolate covering until you are almost eating a glob of peanut butter on a spoon or may as well be.

Also, I’m hoping the mars bar is back for good and not just for a year and then pulled back off the market again.

&Please can someone convince hershey to bring back the Krackel bar or make a bag of minatures with just them in it again. It was crazy to take what was always their best selling candy bar in the grocery stores and fundraiser boxes the entire time i was growing up and suddenly pull it.

Also, Please do not get me hooked in High School & College on this relatively new concoction Reese’s Sticks and then make it so I can only find it in one truckstops near where i live now and one or two convience stores an hour away in the charlotte nc area.

Krackel needs to come back, the only alternative is the crunch bar from Nestle, which i have never liked. there has never been any comparison between nestle chocolate and hershey chocolate, and it shows blatantly when comparing Krackel vs Crunch bar. the crunch bar is often too stale or hard to chew, the rice doesnt taste the same and the chocolate always has a bitter or starting to go bad/rancid type taste to it. There is no substitute for the Krackel bar. The closest thing I’ve ever tried is the Thingamajig bar, which is good in its own way and fairly close except for the peanut butter, and is more of a complex or premium bar in comparison, but sometimes nothing can substitute for the simple delicious Krackel Bar. It’s been my very favorite candy bar my entire life, and it needs to return in bar form or bag of minatures of just Krackel. I can still buy a hershey or mr. goodbar if i wanted those, and i can’t stand hershey special dark and never could, it nearly makes me sick to my stomach just tasting it.
