On "Seinfeld", what is Newman's favorite candy?

On “Seinfeld,” Newman’s favorite candy is Chunky. The joke comes from the recurring association between the overweight, scheming postal worker and Chunky candy, a chocolate-covered confection containing raisins and peanuts. Jerry Seinfeld famously identifies Newman after finding candy wrappers, delivering the memorable line, “I know the Chunky who ate these Chunkys!”

Chunky was introduced in the 1930s by the Philadelphia candy maker Philip Silvershein. Its distinctive chunky shape and combination of chocolate, raisins, and peanuts made it an especially recognizable candy bar, which helped the show turn the brand name into a character joke. The candy appears among the many real products referenced throughout the series.

Viewers sometimes confuse Newman’s Chunky association with the show’s other candy-centered moments. Junior Mints are central to a plot involving a medical procedure, while Twix, Jujyfruits, PEZ, Snickers, and Oh Henry! also receive memorable references. Those candies belong to different characters or storylines; Chunky is the canonical answer for Newman.
