It's funny, lists like these depend on age group.

Me, I like Hersheys, Baby Ruths, Reeses, Snickers, Twix, etc.

But IMO, kids don't really like these. In past Halloweens, and based on remarks by my little son at the time, non-chocolate candies like Starbursts, Sour Patch Kids, Nerds, and especially Skittles, are the big favorites.

Whoppers are good, but this past summer I bought some malted-milk balls that were about 1" in diameter from a candy store near the Aquarium in San Francisco that were the real bees' knees--absolutely the best MMBs I've ever eaten!

Cadbury's is one of the "foreign" chocolates I alluded to in my earlier post.

They should reverse that list. 29 and 30 are my favorites.

The key to enforcement is to punish the violator, not an inanimate object. The punishment of inanimate objects for the commission of a crime or carelessness is an affront to stupidity.

At our house, we have the Halloween candy broken down into categories:

1). Candy just for me so I stay out of the candy we hand out.
2). Candy for the little kids that we also like.
3). Candy for the older kids that we read on the internet they are asking for. This year its Tide Pods and urinal cakes.

You give candy corn to people you hate. I wouldn't even feed that to prisoners of war for fear of committing a war crime...

One thing not considered is the robustness of a sugary handout to withstand the diamond producing pressures created at the bottom of a pillow case after several hours of plundering the surrounding neighborhoods. Sweettarts didn't fair too well, bit-o-honey did better etc. Big Grin

I laughed pretty loudly at number 3.

Trust me on this - try the German Ritter Sport bars, with Cornflakes. I know it sounds odd, but they are the best "Crunch/Krackel" bar I've ever had, and it's not even rice!

The best part about those Ritter chocolate bars is the decidedly German slogan on them:

Square. Practical. Good.

I don't care what anyone says about candy rankings. Nothing compares to the look on little kids face when they bite into a caramel covered onion.

Around here, the kids like Airheads (sour taffy)and Ring Pops. You should see their eyes light up when they see them in the bowl. Maybe it is because everybody else gives out bite size candy bars. They don’t really like chocolate candy for some reason.
