Candy Corn + Peanuts = Payday Bar. (Score:2, Informative)
Take a handful of candy corn and roasted peanuts mixed up and pop it into you mouth all at once.
It tastes just like a Payday candy bar. No kidding.

"Chocolate" — generic for the brown stuff, in any format, but "would you like some chocolate?" implies a piece of a bar of the stuff.
"Chocolates" — a box of individually-formed bite-size items, usually filled with anything from a nut to some gooey stuff, coated in chocolate.
"Sweets" — generic for anything sugary and sold in bite-sizes, but not including chocolate or chocolates, except when used by undiscerning parents.
"Candy" — specialist forms of sweets, often highly-decorated or made to look like something else; does not include chocolate or chocolates. An American term rarely heard in the UK.
"Boiled sweets" — sweets of boiled sugar, flavoured and set to a glass-like consistency, favoured by dentists as a way to increase income.
YMMV, and there are probably hundreds of local, regional, and dialect variants.
