Hello fellow chrome domes: I hope all is well with you & your families. With Halloween nearing. . . I thought it would be fun to discuss your favorite Halloween candies.
I'll start. My favorite Halloween candy is candy corn, Double Bubble Gum, Whoppers, and bite-sized Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and BabyRuths. I am sure I am leaving some out but those come to mind.
So... how 'bout you? What is your favorite Halloween candy?

Snickers.

HERSEY chocolate with almonds. `dr**l

Another vote for the little Resse's cups. I don't know why they are so much better than the normal ones, but they are.
-
I'm in on the candy corn.
-
Tootsie Rolls

Tootsie Rolls, Milk Duds, M & M's.

Tootsie Rolls, Milky Ways.
-
Baby Ruth.

Sixty years ago it was home made caramel coated apples. That was then. Now you wouldn't dare offer anything home made without fear of the law watching you very closely. Ever since word got around that razor blades were slipped in apples-and other fruits-nothing wrapped other than by a factory is acceptable to hand out. I'm too old to be much concerned but much younger friends who have children will not let them go door to door but prefer to go to larger, organized events where everyone is known. Generally these are held in a gymnasium or a mall and it does insure that all the children do get their lagniappe, get to show off their costumes and parents aren't worried about where they are. Of course if, as with many children, their young have credit cards they may come home from that same benevolent mall with a Gucci bag, Hermes sweater or Leica camera, all great souvenirs of a pointless holiday.

I think it is because you don't have to unwrap the minis...you can just grab a handful and chow down... O0
I also like the banana flavored taffy (I usually only see it at Halloween, so that's the only time I eat it).

It's hard to pick one as a favorite... I like everything that has been listed, lol. ;D I'll give another vote for candy corn...

One of my favorites, Schro ... plus Reese's and Baby Ruth (least we forget the scene from "Caddy Shack")

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Snickers with cold glass milk. And then after I feel guilty and brush my teeth, I will kick back with some Pinot Grigio wine ... how't that combo !

I think the wine would taste a little bitter right after brushing your teeth. Well, I guess I have done it before and it gets better on the second glass.... same with beer. b!3r

I grew up on the far North Side of Chicago and we had an "Affy Tapple" factory in our neighborhood. Best caramel apples on the planet.
But also, during the fall when they were running full out, they'd take all the spillover caramel and salted crushed peanuts and warm it up and pour it into a paper cupcake cup and sell them as "Hockey Pucks" out of the side door of the plant. Payday doesn't even come close.
-
How far north side Timmer ? hehehe ... my dental plan today would frown what I scarfed down in 1979 ..... lol
-
+1 for Zots, but you rarely see people hand them out. I also like Lemonheads...or any sour candy.
-
All time favorite is a regular Hershey's. Bit I also love smarties.
-
Smarties luv em but they make you hyperactive ...im into Halva or Hawalya , followed by good organic geranium chocolate , lidl or Aldi chocolate is really good

Mrzed, do you remember Klein's Lunch Bars, another (long gone) Pittsburgh treat?
My sister-in-law's office is in the old Clark Candy company factory on Pittsburgh's North Side.

No, don't remember Klein's....
I remember the Neon sign C L A R K (animated flashing) when illuminated at night.
I lived in the South Hills (near Pleasant Hills clover leaf). My ... things have changed out that way! Don't get there very often.

I'm going to play candy critic here and list my five favorite and my five least liked (Halloween) candy
My least liked (going from least disliked to most disliked) 5. Mary Janes 4. Laffy Taffy 3. Jelly Beans 2. Dots 1. Mike and Ike
Most liked (ranking from lowest to highest) 5. Nerds 4. Sweet Tarts 3. Mini Hershey's (all varieties) 2. Starburst 1. Tootsie Roll
FWIW, my four front teeth are all implants (hard to tell due to some nice dentistry work) due to an accident I had at work back in October 2009 resulting in the loss of said teeth. My teeth do not respond well to sticky candies, hence my least liked list.

The Dutch Reform Church-the de facto State Religion of South Africa-felt that Halloween was an "abomination" and therefore was only noted as "All Saints Day". When I came to the United States the idea of going door to door seeking hand outs smacked of begging which I was bred to think was very declasse. To the extent that I refused to go about doing this and wearing costumes....no. For fancy dress balls, yes, but to wear parading down the High street, no. Asked to wear a "typical" "costume" of South Africa I wore my usual short, baggy cargo shorts, a rough shirt, open throated, short boots and heavy wool socks-to prevent viper strikes. Asked what I was supposed to be I responded, "A Boer"....Many already thought I was although not with my definition.
