Although Halloween has passed, kids and adults alike are still enjoying candy chaos that often starts in the beginning of October. With so many options, how do we choose our favorites? Let’s take a humorous walk through the top 15 popular Halloween candies (get ready for the sugar rush!).
#15 Smarties: They’re like the perfect embodiment of the phrase, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” While their colorful outsides promise a candy-coated adventure, their chalky taste leaves much to be desired. They’re like the candy equivalent of a well-dressed librarian who’s forgotten to renew their library books
#14 Airheads: These candies are as brainless as they sound, offering little in the way of flavor or substance. They’re the perfect snack for those who enjoy chewing on rubber bands
#13 Jolly Ranchers: These candies are as hard as a rock and about as easy to eat. They’re the perfect candy for those who enjoy a good dental procedure.
#12 Snickers: These candies are the perfect blend of nougat, caramel, and chocolate. They’re like a party in your mouth, and everyone’s invited!
#11 Milky Way: I don’t really like chocolate that much, but these taste alright. They’re the perfect candy for those who enjoy a good, old-fashioned candy bar.
#10 Nerds: These candies are as annoying as their name suggests. They’re tiny, and hard, and they get everywhere. But, like that one annoying guy at every party, they’re kind of endearing, too.
#9 Skittles: These candies are the perfect blend of sweet and tangy. They’re like a rainbow in your mouth, and they’re as fun to eat as they are to look at.
#8 Haribo Gummies: These candies are as fun to eat as they are to say. They’re like a little taste of Germany, right in your mouth.
#7 M&Ms: These little chocolate droplets are so much more enjoyable to eat than a regular chocolate bar. The crunchy shell mixed with sweet milk chocolate makes it impossible to put down.
#6 Twizzlers: These are the candies you always knew you could count on. They’re not going to blow your mind, but they’re reliable and tasty.
#5 Starbursts: These candies are the class clowns. They’re always up to something, and while they can be a bit much at times, you can’t help but smile when they’re around.
#4 Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups: These candies are the overachievers. They’re the prom king and queen, the valedictorian, and the MVP all rolled into one. They’re a bit much, but you can’t help but admire them (it’s even better when my sister is allergic to peanut butter!).
#3 KitKat: This is all about taking a break. “Have a break, have a Kit Kat!” so you can actually pause and enjoy Halloween. I’ve carried these many times in my backpack, and they’re as good as they look.
#2 Skittles: They’re the candy equivalent of sunshine and rainbows. “Taste the rainbow!” they cheer while encouraging you to forget your troubles. Just be careful—consume too many, and you might turn into a hyperactive, glittery tornado.
#1 Sour Patch Kids: I don’t think I have to say much about this. What’s better than a candy that’s sour and sweet? When going to a Halloween party, if I saw a bowl of these, I would just grab it all and run away.
