slo’s TUESDAY 10/28 poll - Chocolate Halloween Candy

[lovesmurfs]

I like milk chocolate and caramel. Top is 100 Grand, followed by Milky Way and then Twix. Rolos are small, but up there as well.

 

[clappyclaps]

This is a difficult one to answer as a number of these options we don't get in the UK and some of those we do get are different (i.e a UK Milky Way isn't the same as what you have in the US).

If I had to choose from the list I'd go M&Ms - only the crispy biscuit version, nothing else.

Otherwise going off list, I'd go Cadburys - Dairy Milk, Wispa, Marvellous Creations - even a Freddo would be better!

Cadbury’s in the UK is wonderful! I can’t blame you for picking it. Cadbury’s here in the US is not the same . . .

Not a huge chocolate fan, so I don't mind if we have leftover Halloween candy, and it makes DH ecstatic! If I'm having 'chocolate' I lean more towards the caramel-focused bars. I voted for 100Grand but also am a fan on Twix and Baby Ruth; it was a difficult choice.

We bought the Hershey's variety pack.
Kit Kats
Reeses Peanut Butter cups
Milk duds.
Whoppers.

From your list I would take the M & Ms, or maybe Snickers. The rest I am not a fan of.
From my selection, Whopper for sure. Those have always been a treat going back 60 years when I was a kid. My dad liked them, but he bought a brand of malted milk balls sold under the name "Goof Balls"

I like all of the candies on that list except Butterfinger (bleh), but I guess if I had to choose just one, it would be Reese's. Peanut butter + chocolate = life.

My vote is Other. I enjoy multiple chocolate candies. M & M's , Hershey with or without almonds Reese's Peanut Butter cups, Snickers, Almond Joy and Mounds.
I buy sharing size bags of various M &M's during the year & put them in a 2 containers That way we can grab a few and not eat a whole regular bag. I like plain, peanut butter, pretzel & some if the seasonal varieties DH only likes plain , so plain is kept in it's own container and the others are mixed

 

[piglet too]

I can’t have any due to my peanut/tree nuts allergy. But man, I’d love some peanut M&Ms.

 

[marthachick]

We probably won’t have any Trick or Treaters but we bought a giant (80 pieces) bag of snack size Hershey Bars when we were at Sam’s. I hadn’t bought much chocolate lately and dang it’s expensive!

I saw on the news this morning that Hershey was up 24% and Tootsie was up 32% since Halloween 2024.

I believe it! I wish we had a few kids to come by but some of my friends live in a busy street in town and have several hundred come by every Halloween.

For my birthday today... Reese's peanut butter cup... got some mini reese with Oreos to try. I live near a lot chocolate candy places. However, I am restricted on the amount I can tolerate with getting my type 2 Diabetes into control.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

They all sound good, but M&M's would be my fav on the list.

Don’t be surprised if you start seeing more gummies in the bag by the end of the night…

 

[jalapeno_pretzel]

If I could pick one not on the list, I love Mounds. If sticking to the list, probably Reese's cup - we don't have PB in the house due to an allergy, and I definitely miss those. I like everything on the list except the plain Hershey bar, that chocolate has a really funny aftertaste imo, kinda gross actually.

I had a Reese's Cup yesterday and put all the rest in DH's bowl. They just didn't taste as good as I like. I like the mini cups better. More chocolate, I think.
