One? I have to pick just one? I’ll go with Scotchmallow - dark chocolate with marshmallow and caramel. Or the raspberry/dark chocolate. Or the dark chocolate caramel. Or the California brittle. Oops…got carried away. I could be the poster child for See’s candy.

I think you and I are the only two people on the planet who would name the Scotchmallow as #1. My #2 is the Walnut Square and then the Dark Chocolate Cherry!!!
ALL OF THEM!! I am pregnant so this is a really hard question to answer. I like the coconut or raspberry filled one’s the best, but one can never be too picky with a box of See’s. It’s the fun of not knowing what you are going to get and then finding out what yummy filling you have when you take your first bite.
I normally hate butterscotch, but when it comes to See’s candy there are only two things in the whole store that really tempt me:
1. butterscotch squares (I wonder if they’re the same as Barbara Stone’s butterscotch cream?). They’re square, milk-chocolate covered, filled with the closest thing to panuche I’ve found anywhere (other than my former father-in-law’s recipe, which never turns out for me.
2. butterscotch suckers, which, btw, are nearly Weight Watchers kosher at only 65 calories or something. The trick is to only buy one at a time.
I love your questions, Troy!

Adam, clearly we are soulmates. Let’s buy a box of Scotchmallows and not share them with anyone. Deal?
