A few years ago I discovered that Aldi had knock-off versions of a variety of candy bars... I believe they did versions similar to Snickers, 3 Musketeers, Milky Way, and Twix. I thought that the Aldi knock-off had a saltier peanut taste than an actual Snickers bar has, and their knock-off version of the Twix bar actually had a really delicious buttery wafer, unlike the wafer in a real Twix which is pretty bland and mostly just provides a crunch. So they weren't exactly like the originals, but they were still very good.

The one that you paired with the 100 grand is actually a copy of a British candy bar from Nestle called a Lion bar. I have lived in Europe for almost a decade and I miss having a 100 grand bar. A Lion bar is just not the same, sadly.

I don’t find anything wrong with the smaller bars. When I was young, we didn’t eat sweets constantly like today’s kids and there wasn’t so much childhood obesity and type 2 diabetes in children. Much Halloween candy get thrown away.

From where I am, where Halloween isn't celebrated that much (but we do participate in the festivities), these are great to see. Tbh, any kid given a candy or chocolate during Halloween (or any time) as a treat, you'll definitely see the smile on their faces. I guess even us adults. And yes, be considerate to the kids getting their treats. We also give them something else like refreshments and some crackers.

So weird that Milkyway has caramel in US. Here in the UK we call that a Mars bar and then our Milkyway is like your 3 Musketeers. The TJ 100 Grand sounds like they’re copying a Lion Bar from the UK. Although, Lion Bars are awesome.

The candy that is sort of like the 100grand bar might be trying to copy a candy bar that is called a Lion bar here in Germany. It sounds exactly like a Lion bar. I don't know if you have it in the US.

Came to watch Emmy after falling down a morbid rabbit hole here on KZbin.. First, eating disorders in women's gymnastics, then a video about the Sackler family and the OxyContin crisis.. then finally a video about the Columbine High tragedy (only made it about a 1/3 of the way into that one) ! I needed something light and fun to watch... Emmy never ceases to fit that bill...! By the way, Emmy, thanks for doing the taste test with the OG and Trader Joe's "knock offs" reminded me of when you did the same thing with Girl Guide cookies and the in-store knock off video.. about a year or two ago... As usual you reminded me that humanity is not all bad... And there is a ray of sunshine out there if you look for it... Keep up the great work!!!

I know this comment is way too late but there is a significant difference between "Mini's" and "Fun Size". The Fun Size is more like the actual candy bar albeit slightly bigger; the Mini's are not Good at all since they're so small that the chocolate to filling ratio is off. Thanks for the video and God Bless : )
