Halloween approaches. Any candy you are looking forward to?

[jdb in AZ]

Snickers with almonds are easier to find this time of year, tho regular Snickers are great any time. So are Reese's peanut butter cups.

I may have already been eating candy corn the last month.

Autumn mix. I don't eat candy much, so just a few pieces here and there is enough.

Since this is a thread involving food, we might want to move to Defcon 4: I'm expecting an argument to break out over Reeses PB bats vs eggs vs trees between now and Christmas.

To me all of the seasonal Reese's all taste the same: Delicious! On your don't-bother-trying list should be the really big Reese's cups. The chocolate/pb ratio is way off and the chocolate is too hard because it has to support a bigger area.

The mini $100,000 bars are good.

I love the chocolate covered Payday and I found them in snack size at Walmart.

I saw those last year, and I think that was the first time I noticed them. Were they a new addition, or have they been around a while?

 

[amcnj]

Have you mixed candy corn and peanuts? Just like a Payday!

Oh wow. I will have to give that a try. Any peanut preference when doing this, such as dry roasted?

I love the candy coated Cadbury balls. They are the same as the Easter eggs, just in Halloween colors. I also like Milky Way snack size bars, especially the dark chocolate when I can find them and the all caramel variety. I like to have something sour to counteract all the sweet too, like Starburst.

How are the Cadbury ones this year? I'm a huge fan of the mini eggs, but the Harvest themed ones last year (at least in our area) had a bitter taste from the red dye. It's the only time a bag of Cadbury lasted for weeks in this house.

I like the dry roasted! I hate candy corn unless it's like this

I thought they were fine. I also get the red and green at Christmas and they were okay as well. I wish they did the dark chocolate ones like they do at Easter. I like the taste of a milk/dark chocolate combo.

The Milky Way Midnight minis.

My store must have gotten a bad batch. Good to hear! I have bought the dark before because I don't go through those as quickly but they still have that great crunch.

I hope for some Hot Tamales.

 

[mylilnikita]

I have been quality testing the 2 big bags of skittles starburst and Twix and other chocolate to see if they are worthy lol

My daughter just asked me today to look for the candy that went away with Covid in hopes of making a miraculous comeback,Hershey Carmel Apple Chocolates:


FYI, nope! But in my research online, I found Ghirardelli makes a Chocolate Carmel Apple Square. So a trip to Walmart is in my future as my local Kroger doesn't carry it. (yippee) lol




As for me, my 3 favorites are Reece's Pumpkins (like @PollyannaMom it is perfect ratio of pb and chocolate), Milk Duds, and Kit Kat.

My birthday is late September. Every year My DH gives me a bag of Halloween Reese Cups. For 20+ years I have said no...really, you don't have to...

I don't want to hurt his feelings, but I really dislike them!

Plus, can you tell gift giving is not his love language? Cue - more money for Disney

On topic - Take 5s are the best!

I think all you need to say is hubby I’d rather have some Fererro Roche they aren’t just for Christmas

 

[princesscinderella]

I like the Halloween nerds that are all orange flavor, they are hard to find on their own the rest of the year.

When were these a thing?!

When were these a thing?!

I don't think they were ever a "thing" as in insanely popular and flying off the shelves, but dd and dh loved them.

I discovered them in 2017. So they had a short life before being discontinued.

 

[Cadiewampus]

One that I enjoy and seems easier to find this time of year is snack size Payday bars.

Love Payday bars they are probably my favorite followed closely by Almond Joy

 

[Cadiewampus]

My daughter and I allow ourselves one medium size bag of candy corn/pumpkins each year, and that is it. It's the same with Robin Eggs at Easter, we aren't accountable for our consumption if it's within our reach.

You mean you can eat a bag of candy corn/pumpkins in a year?
