I’ve always loved Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups! The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is unbeatable. They remind me of trick-or-treating as a kid. What about you all?

Amen to that! Reese’s are definitely in my top three. I remember trading all my candy for those during school Halloween parties.

For me, it’s all about Snickers. That crunchy, chewy mix is so good! But I’m not a fan of candy corn. It’s just pure sugar and tastes like wax to me.

My top pick has to be Milky Way. There’s just something so satisfying about that caramel center. I also dislike anything sour; can’t enjoy those!

7

I can relate to that, James! Milky Way is classic! I used to love getting those in my Halloween bag.

8

I have to say, I have mixed feelings about M&M’s. On one hand, they are a classic; on the other, they can be a bit underwhelming. Anyone else feel this way?

9

Totally! They are great for sharing, but I always look for something more exciting in my Halloween stash.

10

My favorite has to be Kit Kats! The way they snap is so satisfying. I could eat a whole bag! How about you, Amanda?

11

You can’t go wrong with Kit Kats! Though, I’m a sucker for Twix—both chocolate and caramel love in one!

12

As for Halloween, I love those mini Reese’s cups, but licorice is a no-go for me! It’s an acquired taste, but not one I want to acquire.

13

I’m with you on that! Licorice seems to be one of those candies you either love or loathe. It’s definitely in my dislike list too!

14

Overall, it’s so cool to see how our favorites differ! Halloween candies really do spark nostalgia and personal stories. What’s a candy that brings back a fond memory for you?

15

I find that Halloween candy rankings can really vary by region. In the Northeast US, candy corn is a big deal, while in the South, you’ll see more focus on chocolate-heavy treats. What’s everyone’s go-to candy?

16

In my area, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups reign supreme! They’re always the first to go in any trick-or-treat bag. Anyone else notice this trend?

17

Out here in California, it’s all about Skittles and Sour Patch Kids! I think that’s because we have such a diverse population that favors fruity flavors. Anyone else have a fruity candy favorite?

18

I do! My kids love gummy worms and they actually prefer them over chocolate during Halloween. Such an interesting shift in preferences!

19

In the UK, we have Cadbury’s Dairy Milk bars which are hugely popular. I wonder if American chocolate tastes better or if it’s just different cultures at play! Any thoughts?

20

Interesting point! The cultural significance of candy is fascinating. I feel like different countries incorporate local flavors and ingredients, which can really influence taste.
