A candy bar is a kind of comestible which breaks the vegan conduct. You will sometimes find one randomly in the dungeon.
In food strategy, a candy bar enjoys a high ratio nutrition per weight. At fourth place, it ranks better than a (5th) food ration, but worse than a (2nd) pancake or (2nd) lump of royal jelly. You might save your candy bars until after you eat all of your rations.

Encyclopedia entry

Only once a year, on his birthday, did Charlie Bucket ever
&nbsp;get to taste a bit of chocolate.  The whole family saved up
&nbsp;their money for that special occasion, and when the great
&nbsp;day arrived, Charlie was always presented with one small
&nbsp;chocolate bar to eat all by himself.  And each time he
&nbsp;received it, on those marvelous birthday mornings, he would
&nbsp;place it carefully in a small wooden box that he owned, and
&nbsp;treasure it as though it were a bar of solid gold; and for
&nbsp;the next few days, he would allow himself only to look at it,
&nbsp;but never to touch it.  Then at last, when he could stand it
&nbsp;no longer, he would peel back a tiny bit of the paper
&nbsp;wrapping at one corner to expose a tiny bit of chocolate, and
&nbsp;then he would take a tiny nibble - just enough to allow the
&nbsp;lovely sweet taste to spread out slowly over his tongue.  The
&nbsp;next day, he would take another tiny nibble, and so on, and
&nbsp;so on.  And in this way, Charlie would make his ten-cent bar
&nbsp;of birthday chocolate last him for more than a month.
