      I really like them. My coworkers and family hate them, and mock me for liking them. But I get all of the unwanted Whoppers at Halloween, so it’s worth their contempt.

          They are a candy, malt balls covered in milk chocolate. Malt is one of those divisive flavors. The name is confusing!

    Literally anything from Aldi. Every single sweet they sell there is amazing, stupidly cheap, bafflingly well made.

    Outside of that, Easter egg reese’s pieces eggs. They have a way better ratio of peanut butter to candy shell than the little bits.

        I will give you a heads up that if you buy vinegar powder (acetic acid, basically) in an attempt to make your own, be very careful. I made salt & vinegar popcorn once, but the seasoning was too loose on the surface of the popcorn and if i breathed in at all while eating I got a hefty dose of burning lungs
