I crave Vietnamese sticky rice, which can be savory or sweet depending on the toppings. =)

Zongzi stuffed with pork, sausage, peanuts and egg yolk. SOOOO GOOOOOD, I can feel my arteries clogging right now!!!

for me, it's rich buttery caramels

Normandie caramels and Botan Rice Candy. I adore both. Luckily, neither are instantly available. Or I'd be the size of a house. I'm not kiddiing.

I adore chewy but I'm usually not big on sticky. That said...
~ Cinnamon rolls.
~ Tapioca pudding.
~ BBQ spareribs.
~ Hominy'n'cheese (like mac'n'cheese, but chewy, gooey, more flavorful)
~ Turkish delight with powdered sugar and pistachios. Authentic. From Turkey.
~ Crisp apple slices dipped in fresh, gooey, homemade caramel (easier to eat than candied apples, and you get more caramel!). Not exactly chewy, but...

now and laters- they are seriously chewy!

Am I the only one who doesn't like sticky/chewy? I prefer salty/crunchy/crispy. Oh, but I do love me some Anson Mills grits with cheddar cheese, so maybe that counts as gooey/chewy?

absolutely horrible for my teeth, but i LOVE laffy taffy!

With all my dental work, I can't eat sticky stuff. I learned my lesson when I was 14. I ate a gummy candy, and it pulled my bridge out! No caramels, Snickers, Milky Ways, etc. for me.
Somewhat chewy stuff is a different matter -- a fudgy, gooey, chewy brownie, See's chocolates (buttercreams, Irish cream, coconut cream... my mouth is watering just thinking about it!), Russell Stover's filled seasonal chocolates, fresh-baked choc. chip cookies, etc.

Although I would never buy it, I tried Jolly Time Mallow Magic popcorn recently and it was pretty sticky/good.

My all-time favorite chewy sweets are Haribo Gummi Bears. Stick them in the fridge for a little chill and glass of ice cold milk. Mmm-mm.

my neighbors brought back from afghanastan these chewy litte chocolate drops like big pellets,they called them smart pills in afghanistan,i said they taste like goat poop,they said see you are already smarter!!!!

I just like sticky chewy stuff in general....mochi, wine gums, glutinous rice cakes, starburst candy..... the list goes on.

mmm sticky chewy caramel candies for sure, and Turkish delights as well.

caramel apples :-) and with my new-found love of salted caramel, I've started salting my caramel apples as well...so good!

goo goo clusters... the caramel and marshmallow combo does it for me

OMG... Thanks JEP! You always manage to get me thinking. Can't believe I forgot about black licorice. The real stuff, made with molasses and not overly sweet. MMMmmmm... reminds me Gramma. We used to fight over black jelly beans and she introduced me to Allsorts, too. Anybod remember those? When she was dying and wouldn't eat anything, I brought her a bag of black licorice and black jelly beans. She consumed at least one a day until the end. Sniffle. 3-(

Anyway. Super moist, chewy, sticky coconut macaroons are way near the top of my list. As long as the recipe calls for salt. Whenever I get one that contains no salt, I want to gag.

I like chewy cookies! Especially like a toffee or a chocolate chip.
