In the last round someone said that a baby Ruth was what you really wanted when you wanted a Snickers bar. I think they were right. Baby Ruth has my support.

Yeah that's true. I just like giving you the business. I also like using old timey slang.

It literally pains me when we are both on the same side of the vote, but dammit I will not tolerate dark chocolate. It is barely food and certainly not candy! Baby Ruths, however, are the cat's pyjamas.

I was the Round 1 Baby Ruth/Snickers someone! How fleeting fame is. The idea actually comes into play with this match-up. These are both solid, solid candy bars, but 5th Avenue is not the best peanut butter & chocolate crunchy candy bar, and Baby Ruth probably is the best bar in the chocolate/nuts/nougat division. Vote to Baby Ruth.

If we did, that long-necked buzzkill must have nixed it

Ah, well, at least in the megapoll forum I can cheat.

Baby Ruth bars are also great when frozen.

Found a 5th Avenue bar.

It was... OK. It was kind of treading the middle ground between a Clark bar and a Butterfinger, but it managed to be less good than either.

I was going to do a full write up like I did for the Skor and Clark Bars but... I don't know that it's worth it.

The one thing that did stand out was that it is surprisingly salty and vaguely bitter. Also it has the lightest texture of the three.

This is more what I expected from Hershey. I ate about half and tossed the rest.
