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.

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