Best/Worst Halloween Candy - Page 2 - The DIS Discussion Forums

Meriweather · 10-05-2012, 08:02 AM

As a child, I didn't like getting licorice (but my Dad loved it).
Everything else was okay by me.

Now, I would skip everything except chocolate!!

We hand out full size bars..............buy them at Costco. Chocolate and also fruity ones (Skittles, Starburst). I need to get them bought!!

Best candy is anything with chooclate.
Worst candy is anything without chocolate.

That basically sums it up for me!

I used to hate candy corn. Then my husband introduced me to the concept of mixing it with dry roasted peanuts and either M&Ms or Reeses Pieces. That's a good mixture!

I always hated it when people handed out the bite sized candy bars. I could handle the fun sized, but bit sized was just ridiculous.

Best: Butterfingers!!! These were my first to disappear! Also tootsie rolls, Snickers (now... I hated them for many years), Baby Ruths, Reese Cups, other chocolate bars.

Worst: Smarties, sweet tarts, dum dums, gum, mary janes, jolly ranchers... basically a lot of hard candies. I had something else I wanted to put here but I forget what it is.

Twizzlers, skittles, and other chewy fruity candy are squarely in the middle. I like them but they hurt my teeth after a new

I come on to these threads every year just so I can say that those orange and black wrapped Mary Janes are my absolute Favorites.

You may now return to your regualary scheduled sugar debate.

Add peanut butter to the chocolate and it's at the top of the list.

Yes! Candy corn + peanuts + M&Ms = PMS Crunch

It is so addictive and feeds every craving: salty, sweet, and chocolate!

Best are the Hersey bars, Twix, Kitkat, Reece's. Worst are Whoppers, Bottlecaps, tootsie rolls. Oh, and those SpongeBob "Crabby Patties"!!! DH automatically tosses those and any other candy made in China.

Best- Any wrapped chocolate bars, Dum Dums, skittles

Worst- Tootsie rolls, no-name wrapped candies, hard bubblegum like dubble bubble or bazooka

MissMichigan · 10-05-2012, 11:59 AM

Best- bottlecaps, tootsie rolls, starburst, hershey minis, m&ms (regular or peanut)

Worst- gum, those black and orange wrapped things, popcorn, anything made by the Palmer company, and pennies. I always got pennies. Those aren't candy, people!

Kellydelly · 10-05-2012, 12:02 PM

I think you guys have Mary Janes confused with those orange and black wrapped peanut butter kisses (taffy). I love Mary Janes!

Now our favorites varied. I love a frozen Reeses PB cup and KitKats....

Been thinking about candy today!

Yes, Peanut Butter Kisses are the nastiest tasting things EVER!! And my mother still keeps on giving them out every single year. Her own grandkids won't touch them.

What if they gave you a handful of the bite sized bars? I have given these out in the past and when I dump my handful in the bag, it was 6 or 7 of the pieces in there.

Nope. For me, I had to be able to actually take a bit of the candy bar and savor it. Then, take another bite. With the bite sized, you have to pop the whole thing into your mouth.

But, to be fair, this was just me. I'm a giant weirdo! My friends didn't seem to mind as much.
