3 Musketeers

3 Musketeers is a simple but iconic candy bar made of just a fluffy aerated nougat that is surround by milk chocolate. The bar is named after the book by Alexandre Dumas titled The Three Musketeers.
You’re probably wonder why the heck it’s called 3 Musketeers when it has only two noticeable components? Well, the original bar that was introduced in 1932 was similar to Neapolitan ice cream in that it consisted of three small bars of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. Mars did away with the strawberry and chocolate components during World War II due to cost considerations.
Taffy
Taffy is a type of candy that is characterized by its chewy and stretchy texture. It is made by stretching or pulling a sticky mass of boiled sugar, flavorings, and colorings until it becomes aerated and light. This process incorporates air into the candy, which provides its chewy consistency.
Tangy Zangy
This is a brand of sour chewy candies. They produce some unique creations and flavors such as Hot Chili Chewy Candies and Milk Chocolate Sour Fruit Slices.
Take 5
This is a candy bar produced by The Hershey Company that is sold as a Reese’s product. The 5 portion of its name is in reference to the five major ingredients used to make the bar: pretzels, caramel, peanut butter, peanuts, and chocolate.
The Take 5 wasn’t always made under the Reese’s brand. In 2019, Hershey rebranded the bar under the Reese’s brand name and started using Reese’s peanut butter as the PB of choice to make the bars. The change was in response to lagging sales and an attempt to spur growth.
Terry’s Chocolate Orange
Terry’s Chocolate Orange is chocolate shaped like a real orange that is wrapped in gold foil. When you unwrap the foil, the chocolate can be removed piece by piece like you would for the pieces of a real orange. The chocolate is flavored with natural extracts of orange.
Terry’s Chocolate Orange was first created in the UK in 1932. Over the years, it has become a nostalgic and beloved treat, especially during the holiday season.
Tic Tac
Tic Tac is a brand of capsule shaped mints that were introduced in 1969 by Ferrero. However, if you’ve ever tried the orange flavor, you’ve likely questioned if it actual freshens the breath. But, that’s another topic!
They are typically sold in small transparent plastic containers with a flip-top lid. The lid allows the Tic Tacs to be dispensed one at a time to prevent messes.
Their name comes from the sound the container makes when opening and closing the box. Its current noteworthy flavors include Freshmint, Tropical Adventure, Orange, Fruit Adventure, Wintergreen, Strawberry & Cream, and Sprite (flavored like the lemon-lime soda).
Time Out
Cadbury Time Out is a chocolate bar manufactured by Cadbury. It is known for its core of layers of crispy wafers that sandwich rippled milk chocolate. The wafer layers are thin and light, which provide a crunchy texture. The core is covered in a milk chocolate coating.
Toblerone
Toblerone is a popular Swiss chocolate bar known for its stacked triangular shape. It is produced by Mondelēz International, which was formerly Kraft Foods.
Toblerone chocolate is made from a blend of milk chocolate, honey, and almond nougat. The unique triangular prism shape of the chocolate bars is often associated with the Swiss Alps, and the packaging features an image of a mountain known as the Matterhorn.
The name “Toblerone” is a combination of the family name “Tobler,” the creators of the chocolate, and “torrone,” which is the Italian word for nougat. The chocolate bar was first created in 1908 by Theodor Tobler and Emil Baumann in Bern, Switzerland.
Toffee
Toffee is a type of candy characterized by its sweet and buttery flavor. It is made by boiling sugar, butter, and water together, which creates a rich caramelized mixture. Nuts or flavorings may be added to enhance the taste.
Toffee can be enjoyed in various forms, such as hard and crunchy or softer and chewier. Heath and Skor are examples of popular toffee bar brands.
Toffifay
August Storch makes the Toffifay brand of candy that we just recently tried for the first time.
It’s a unique concept for a candy in that it’s a small caramel cup with a whole roasted hazelnut sitting inside the cup. Covering the hazelnut is a topping of chocolate hazelnut filling.
The candies are packaged in a tray that you pull out from the box to grab a piece. I think I had a piece or two from they tray before I went back for more and it was empty. In other words, this is a super delicious candy certainly worth a try if you’re a fan of the ingredients we laid out.
Tootsie Pop
This is a classic sucker brand made with a Tootsie Roll center and a hard candy outer shell. The shells are flavored and colored to match their flavor. Some of the popular flavors include cherry, grape, orange, and chocolate.
