A Tasting Treat

Recently I have found a simple joy. I have always loved treating myself to a delicious candy bar. I discovered that I was in a rut though. I was always getting a Twix Bar or Milky Way. Although those candy bars are quite incredible and undeniably delicious I felt the desire to branch out a little. You know take a leap out of the comfort zone. Let my taste buds get more out of life. With the support of my family we began a journey into the unknown. Every time we were faced with a large selection of candy bars (whether it be a gas station or grocery store) we would pick one candy bar we had never tried. When we were all home we would split it into fourths and each savor a new taste. Some were good. Some were bad. But most were good.
A common theme I have found while discovering new candy bars is that there really isn't a whole lot of new. Most of the time old flavors are just twisted and turned into new shapes and textures. M&Ms now have coconut flavors and pretzels. Milky Ways are now purely carmel. Snickers have fudge. It's cool though.
Here is a little run down on what I (with the help of my family) have discovered.
