The Totally Definitive, Not At All Subjective Ranking of the Top Ten Best Halloween Candies

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Clark chapter.

10. Clarks- This one is exclusively here for school spirit. I’m not even sure that I’ve eaten one of these.

9. Crunch Bar- It may be the least creative candy bar and I don’t think that I’d ever pay real human money for one, but they’re pretty inoffensive, and the textures are decent.

8. Tootsie Rolls- weird fun fact, I prefer the vanilla ones and the fruity ones.

7. Candy Corn- one time my English teacher passed around a bowl of candy corn that we all took from with our bare hands. I wonder if colds spiked that year?

6. Airheads- What is the mystery flavor? Why does it make me so happy? Why can’t I remember what any of the other flavors taste like? Have I ever had a standard flavored Airhead? Did I exclusively take mystery flavored ones as a child/up until this moment? What does this say about me?

5. Butterfingers- They are a pain and a half to eat but the last time I ate one, I vividly remember smiling.

4. Nerds- For some reason it felt like I was getting extra candy by strategically selecting these over bite sized candies.

3. Twix- A perfect harmony of caramel, chocolate, and cookie- wonderful, but also kind of basic.

2. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups- Did I once accidentally take a bite from one, then realize it was five years old? Yes. Did it ruin my love for them? No.

1. Tootsie Pops- Not the little dinky ones, the big ones that absolutely cut your tongue but that you relished with pride.
