Although we are college students, that hardly stops us from our yearly trick-or-treating endeavors! Here are our favorite and least favorite treats to scoop up in neighborhood doorways:
Personally, I love anything peanut butter! Reeseās may have to be my favoriteāI never really get tired of them the way I do with things like caramel, as the flavor doesnāt feel overwhelming. My least favorite would have to be milk duds. I apologize to anyone who likes them, but they are just not good. Plain and simple. I have never had one that did not taste remarkably stale, and I am not one for things being stuck in my teeth, so they are a hard no from me.

I think there are some funny but interesting candy debates that come up around Halloween when weāre all excited to get sweets, and Iād like to share my thoughts (that probably arenāt that controversial). Reeseās are much better than Butterfingers, Red Vines are elite compared to Twizzlers, any form of Almond Joy/Mounds bars are gross, and I donāt want them in my trick or treating bag. I prefer chocolate bars over fruity candy, and Candy Corn is actually good!Ā

When I was younger and would go trick-or-treating around my neighborhood, I always scouted out the houses that gave out king-size candy bars. I especially loved the Hershey’s cookies ānā creme chocolate bars, which were difficult to find. The jackpot, though, were houses that gave out nerd ropes. My friends and I searched for nerd ropes all night because not only were they delicious, they were so big! My least favorite candy that was handed out to me as a kid were tootsie rolls and laffy taffy. I donāt like candy that gets stuck in my teeth and is difficult to eat, which has been my experience with those candies.
