Top Five Halloween Candies

With Halloween right around the corner, I thought it would be a good time to rank the Top Five Halloween Candy. As always, this list is absolute and 100% correct.

Snickers

A great blend of chocolate, caramel, peanuts, and nougat. Did you know that nougat is Persian in origin?

Gummy Bears

Not just any gummy bears, Haribo is the only acceptable form of gummy. They’re chewy and loaded with flavor. Plus, look at that dapper bear. Who wouldn’t want to eat him?

Twix

It’s the cookie crunch that makes Twix so delicious. Sure, their left/right ads are super annoying and dumb. But let’s not hold that against the candy.

Nerds

Why are these sweet little tarts so high on the list? Because they’re awesome. What other candy comes in a little cardboard box? Junior Mints? Candy cigarettes? Both awesome. Rip the top off and dump all those li’l babies down your gullet.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

The granddaddy of all candies. They’re simple and delicious. I could eat a bag of them. I HAVE eaten a bag of them. Nothing says Happy Halloween like unpeeling the folds of one of these magical treats. The question is: how do you eat them? I like to show the whole damn thing in.

Honerable Mention: Tootsie Pops

Don’t sleep on these bad boys. There’s a reason Li’l Kim made a song about them. (Wait, that wasn’t really about the pops?)

Dishonorable Mention: Candy Corn

I’m not here to hate on candy corn. I actually like them. But if you give these out on Halloween you deserve to have your house TP’d. These are the saltines of candy. Great to have out during a party in a little dish but that’s it.

These have been the TOP FIVE HALLOWEEN CANDIES. Accept no substitutes or alternates.
