GTKY: Halloween Candy

[paloslee]

We haven't done one of these in a while.  It's been quiet around here lately.

What is your favorite Halloween candy or treat? Do you hand this out to trick or treaters?

[paloslee]

I love resee's cups. I do hand them out but have other candies for kids who have allergies.

[rachelilly23]

Reeses cups and twix bars. 100 Grands are pretty amazing too.

This is me. I especially love chocolate, but really as long as it's not black licorice, I will eat it.

[jewel441]

Peanut chews if we are in an area with them but snickers. I hope we get some trick or treaters but idk if we will since the block is only half full... lot of work for only a few houses.

[roseinbloom]

Probably milkyway or muskateers or resees.

BUT

There was one time I ate an entire cereal bowl of candy corn without realizing it.

***
ETA: Not as in I didn't realize I was the only one eating from the bowl.

In HS, I made a huge bowl of candy corn as a reward for myself if I successfully studied hours for a test that was giving me major anxiety (this was in the spring, so I don't even know where the candy corn came from). 

3 hours later, I look up, satisfied with the work I've done and look eagerly over at the candy bowl just out of reach. It's empty. 
?
Did I knock it over? Did I spill the candy corn? Did I grab the wrong bowl? What did I do with it? 

Well, apparently I ate it all while I was studying. I had all the calories and none of the pleasure. And no "reward" for all my hard work.

The disappointment and disgust I had at this experience was a great lesson for me.

I hope cinnamonsmiles doesn't judge.

Me neither. Yuck. Thinking about it makes me gag.

Candy corn is repulsive. Give me all the Reece's and KitKats

[halfahippy]

Candy corn is the worst. I love kit kats and plain Hershey bars. I usually give out what I like so I can steal some for myself.

[katespade]

Take 5. And sour patch kids

[peachesncream]

Reeses, Skittles, KitKats, and Twix. I am so pumped DD1 is old enough to trick or treat this year. Imma eat all her candies.

Only because candy corn is disgusting.

[cinnamonsmiles]

I think my favorite candy bar is either Payday or Snickers. I really enjoy straight up dark chocolate (80%) too, but people dont give that out at Halloween unfortunately.

My family never did ToT so I'm not familiar with handing out candy.

[SheilaTheTank]

I am team eat all the candy. Chocolate, gummies, I don't discriminate. Except for skittles. They taste chalky to me. But if I have to pick one, then I'm all for Now and Laters. Teeth ripping goodness.

[arbe]

I'm for all chocolate except almond joy and mounds.

We coach the kids to avoid those when trick or treating

I'll take all your almond joy and mounds. I love coconut. 

[Missy0483]

All of it? Except coconut crap, gross!!! I like candy corn too which seems pretty unpopular around here!
