Halloween is quite literally a holiday dedicated to candy. I mean, children dress up in costumes to trick or treat. They walk door to door, asking for candy. The shelves are stocked with huge bags of candy, until it’s a day or two before Halloween, and the shelves are empty since everyone is frantically buying their candy last minute for their trick-or-treaters.
Since this day is dedicated to candy and treats, I’m going to rank them. Sorry if you completely disagree, but this is my take.
Personally, I like chocolate candy the best. Chocolate is just as superior to other candy. I am a dark chocolate girly, so I am a huge fan of Milky Way Midnights. I am also a huge sucker for coconut, so I love Mounds and Almond Joy, seemingly a hot take. Oddly enough, I am not a huge fan of chocolate with peanuts, such as Snickers or Baby Ruth. However, I don’t mind peanut butter in my chocolate, so I am a fan of Reese’s and Butterfingers. Super sticky chocolates such as Milk Duds are not great because they always end up stuck in my teeth.
My Top Five Chocolate Candies Ranked:
- Milky Way Midnight
- Mounds
- Almond Joy
- Kit Kats
- Reese’s
Fruity candies are okay. I am not a huge fan of super chewy or taffy candies like Starbursts or Airheads. They get stuck in my teeth or they are just a pain to chew. I used to enjoy Dots as a kid, but I’m not a fan now. They are way too chewy and always get stuck in my teeth.
My Top Five Fruity Candies Ranked:
- Sour Patch Kids
- Swedish Fish
- Jolly Ranchers
- Twizzlers
- Skittles
Traditional Halloween-themed candy. Candy corn and candy pumpkins are good. I know many people dislike them, but to me, candy corn is the epitome of Halloween candy. I do not like Peeps, at any time of the year. Marshmallows are a hard no for me. Once they are rolled in a sugary coating, that’s even worse, I really hate the texture. But Peeps do get some credit for being super cute.
Seasonal Halloween Candy Ranked:
- Candy corn
- Carmel or Candy apples
- Carmel apple lollypop
- Candy pumpkins
- Pumpkin Pie Kit Kats
There are a lot of great Halloween candies and treats. Some are so yummy, others I’d take a hard pass on. This is just my take, some of you might have super differing opinions, but I’d love to hear your thoughts.
