The Week contest: Road candy

Last week's question: A tanker truck carrying 12 tons of liquid chocolate overturned and spilled its load across a Polish highway last week, snarling six lanes of traffic and creating headaches for cleanup crews. If a confectioner were to scrape clean the blacktop and sell the spilled chocolate, what appetizing brand name could it give the recovered candy?
