Candy Bar Challenge

We challenge you to a candy bar contest.

Last year we invited neighbors over for an apple tasting and had a great time comparing the wide variety of apples available during the fall.

The overall favorites were Golden Delicious and Fuji.

This year we invited friends over for the always in-season Candy Bar Challenge.


We passed around the plates one at a time. Contestants were asked to write down their guess for looking only on the left side of their answer sheet. Then they were able to taste the candy and write down any change to their guess in the right column. How many can YOU identify? Submit your answers as a comment. We'll post the correct guesses soon.















This version of the challenge is looking only, for the taste testing you'll need to host your own candy challenge :)
