Annual Favorite Halloween Candy Poll

[HRH Queen Dick I]

Sour candy tastes like despair.

[sadlebred]

Reece's Cups

[honeydew1894]

Chocolate: Resse's pumpkins
Gummy: Nerd clusters (but I love all gummy candy)

[underwaterrhymes]

Fruity: Sour Patch Kids, Starburst, Haribo gummy bears, those fruity Tootsie rolls everyone else hates (especially lime and orange)

Chocolate: Twix, Snickers (but only if it’s been in the freezer first), Almond Joy, Butterfingers

Other: You never see these anymore but Bit o’ Honey

[beerlover]

Oh, add Frooties to the list. I love the green apple, blue raspberry, and watermelon ones.

[marvine]

Three Musketeers (boring but delicious)
Swedish Fish

[CloudBee]

This year I'm hoping for some Milk Duds!

[Jalapeñomel]

Oh I also adore anything peppermint, so I don't associate York with Halloween, but a year round delicious treat. lol

Chocolate: Reece's pieces or cups, but I love most things chocolate. I don't understand the love for snickers or twix though.
Fruity: wild berry skittles

YES!  Wild berry skittles are the best.  I'm bummed I can only seem to find them in mixed candy bags.  They have them in a kit at Valentine's day and I always buy an extra just for me. 

Chocolate: Peanut M&Ms and Reece's PB cups are my faves.

I am also a crazy person who likes candy corn.  We didn't get any last year and I was having a craving, so I bought a bag.  I wasn't sure how much I really liked them, but the bag is half gone already.

Yesterday, someone brought in a bag of Halloween candy, and there were some Reese’s Take 5. I haven’t seen those in so long and forgot how much I liked them.

Take 5 bars are the best! I usually buy a bag at Halloween that I save for myself. 

[felicity]

It used to be Reeses Nutrageous but I don't think these really show up anymore 

Take 5 is probably my next favorite.

Chocolate - Reese's (The pumpkins or regular sized cup not the minis. The minis are crap.) I also really like Mounds (or any dark chocolate candy bar really) and Reese's Pieces
Fruity - Nerdy Gummy Clusters, Starbursts, Sour Patch Kids

[shopgirl07]

Trader Joe’s has a new bag of mini chocolate bars that are dupes for some of the classics and they are delicious. Far superior to the originals.

I have been OBSESSED with Snickers recently. Especially if they’re kept in the fridge so they’re nice and cold and chewy. Mmmmm.

[fluffycookie]

Twix and kit kats are my downfall.

I don't like anything fruity.

[fernweh]

Chocolate: either snickers or Twix
Fruity: Haribo

Last night I ate a Reese's pumpkin for the first time in YEARS. Fun fact, each one is 3g of protein! lol

It was really good, and probably will be my go-to for a bit. But Junior Mints are pretty amazing since they are dark chocolate.

I prefer fruity candy over chocolate these days unless it's dark chocolate, as milk is way too sweet for my tastes. I love Hi-Chews and Nerd Clusters.

They are the best.  I bought two bags just for myself. 

Skittles are my fave fruity candy and I eat them in order of my preference, saving red for last. 

I was just told today that all Skittles are the same flavor. I swear I can taste different flavors but apparently it's my brain making it up.

I was told a lie. This is from the Skittles website (red package): Flavors include strawberry, lime, grape, lemon and orange.

It's not a lie exactly - it's scented, not flavored. If you hold your nose and eat a Skittles, they'll all taste the same.

Chocolate: Reese's pumpkins (though Mounds are a close second--I love anything dark chocolate and coconut together)
Fruity: another vote for Nerds clusters

[notsopicky]

Choco: Mounds/Almond Joy (which my kid also likes, what a weirdo) and Rolos. Twix/Kit Kat close in rank.
Fruity: Red Vines (Twizzler is gummy and gross)

[meganew]

Candy corn. I go through a big bag every few days during October. H keeps bringing it home to be nice and I need Halloween to be over already because I can’t control myself and I’m eating myself sick. lol.

[DotAndBuzz]

Chocolate: tie btw snickers and KitKat

Gummy: Starburst

I would say Twizzlers are up there with the gummy, but whatever they're trying to pass as mini Twizzlers in candy bags are vile. Full size or bust.
