What Is or Was Your Favorite Halloween Candy?

     Most folks I know give out Halloween candy that they like, in hopes of having leftovers!  I know I do!

As a kid I loved Smarties, Snickers and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.

 

I like giving out full bars, because you see and hear the joy from the kids. It’s once a year, and fun.

 

 The neighborhood I’m in is near a school, so getting almost 200 Trick-orTreaters is common here!  I like getting the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups at Sam’s Club, since they have the larger quantities.  

Any favorite candies?

    Candy Apples (Red hard shell) or Caramel Apples. Candy corn was ok and candy pumpkins were too. My mother would snatch the bag out of my hand when my Dad and I came back. To check to make sure the candy was safe...with her cheek full. I could have 1 or 2 pieces before bed. That was it on Halloween. Hmm...Funny, how the bag was half full the next day, We kids did not have cute bags or plastic totes. Brown paper bags. All of this is too sweet for me now. I stopped buying when I retired. Not many children come out in my neighborhood any more and I can’t take it to work. Also very expensive...$20.00 + for a big bag,

    lol!  Every time I think about a candy apple I wince.  I’d be too afraid to bite one now, might lose a tooth.  But remember doing it as a kid.  That brought back a great memory for me though, thanks!

    All this candy talk made me really want some Indian corn (Candy corn with the end being brown from cocoa).

    The 12 oz bag  was $2.79, which used to be $1.00 for 16 oz!!  And it only lasted for 3 days by myself!!

    😂😂😋😐

    Being from the Philadelphia area, you can't beat Peanut Chews.

    Yes!  Interestingly, like black jelly beans some people don’t like the Harvest Mix, saying it’s too sweet. And with black jelly beans some people just don’t like that taste.  I love both, so I get you!

    There are way too many to favorites to list.  I like the Indian corn but not so much regular candy corn.

    They used to make Milkshake Candy Bars (similar to Zero Bars but malted flavor) and the best frozen candy bar!

    Being from a family of 5 boys, we used to have pillow cases as bags, my Mother would let us keep a few of our favorites, would divide the rest up by type, and hide it, putting a little bit in our lunches for school.  All we had to do is watch her, and could find where she hid it, as she was eating it as well!!
