N Candy AA: The Championship Round

May 2, 2010

Confused? Hungry? Searching for answers? Look no further. Bracket is here, voting is now.

1 Reese's Peanut Butter Cup vs. 5 Twix. It's been a long road. Getting from there to here. It's been a long time, but Reese's dominance is finally near. I like Twix a lot, but there has been no stopping this peanut butter-chocolate juggernaut who secrets delicious powers in the sharp ridges of its cupcake papered sides. Last round, I argued that Twix would take down Kit-Kat because of its comparatively varied flavors and consistencies. However, where RPBC is concerned, that argument is out the window. Where RPBC is concerned, the Oscar-Felix marriage of peanut butter and chocolate has trumped every other candy it has come up against. If Snickers couldn't beat the salty-sweet, there is no way Twix will. --Keckler

I can make the argument that Twix "should" win -- it has more flavors, more subtlety, more things to please more palates -- but what's the point. It had a good run, but it's going to get stepped on by the Cup. --Bunting
