We've covered the worst Halloween candy to help you avoid some of the trick or treating failures that could make you the neighborhood Halloweenie and jeopardize your property.
Now it's time to unwrap the delicious list of the country's most beloved Halloween candy! We love Halloween for many reasons, but trick or treating is the best!
If you select anything from this list, we assure you that you'll be in the good graces of the neighborhood trick or treaters, and you will be spared any malevolent tricks.
When I was growing up in the 80s and early 90s as an xennial on the cusp of the new millennium, I always knew which houses had the best candy on Halloween. One of those houses was my grandmother's. She always had a big bowl of the best stuff!
Some of those candy's are mentioned here and they bring back sweet memories of days long past.
There's nothing quite like being a young kid with good metabolism, emptying out your plastic pumpkin at the end of a laborious albeit awesome night, and seeing your haul.
This will keep you stocked for a few weeks on pure sugar.
You don't want to waste your precious allowance of Halloween candy on just any ol' thing though. You want the top of the line treats!
Here is a solid list of the world's best Halloween candy.
The Best Halloween Candy
1. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Hands down one of the consistently top ranked Halloween candies of all time is Reese's peanut butter cups. When I was kid and I saw that orange and yellow package get tossed into my bag, I was thrilled.
I would always think to myself, "that house is awesome, they're giving out Reese's peanut butter cups". The delicious chocolate peanut butter combination gets anybody handing them out on Halloween a true round of applause.
2. Butterfinger
Who can forget the delicious crispety, crunchety, peanut buttery bar surrounded by a chocolaty candy coating? They can't technically call it chocolate because it has no cocoa butter in it, but who cares? Butterfinger is high on the list of valued Halloween candy. Trick or treaters love getting these fantastic morsels!
3. Skittles
Some of my friends didn't like getting skittles, but I was always willing to take theirs. I loved them! These bite-sized fruit-flavored chewy candies with a hard candy shell were always one of my favorites! Trick or treating on Halloween wouldn't be the same without getting to taste the rainbow!
4. Kit Kat
Trick or treaters love these crisp little wafers covered in milk chocolate. They even love all the other flavors like breaking bones, a creamy white chocolate Kit Kat version. If you hand out Kit Kat bars on Halloween, regardless of which type, you'll be admired by the young ghoulish revelers of the evening!
5. Snickers
Not to be out done, enter the Snickers bar, a fantastic combination of nougat, caramel, peanuts and milk chocolate. Kids love getting Snickers on their night out trick or treating, and the parents love when the kids get them too!
6. Milky Way
If you're not big on peanuts, but still have a place in your heart for nougat, caramel and milk chocolate, Milky Way is the best in the galaxy! Designed to taste like a malted milkshake, Milky Way is always a stellar option to hand out on Halloween!
7. M&M's
This iconic sugary chocolate candy will never disappoint the trick or treaters in your neighborhood. The traditional flavors can be enjoyed by most kids and adults alike, and every so often they announce new and exciting options. The legendary M&M's are always a hot ticket on Halloween!
8. Twix
Who can resist a crunchy cookie lathered in caramel beneath smooth milk chocolate? Nobody, that's who. And when you've finished one, you got a second delicious bar coming right up! Twix is a double dose of awesome, a top of the line choice for Halloween.
9. Twizzlers
Twizzlers are an underrated Halloween candy but I feel like they deserve to be in the top 10. This chewy, licorice-like fruity candy brings back sweet memories of childhood trick or treating on Halloween. Twizzlers comes in a variety of flavors, but the most popular has always been strawberry.
They have a pleasing aroma and a great taste to satisfy the most skeptical taste buds. You can't go wrong with Twizzlers!
10. Hershey Bar
Last but certainly not least is the iconic milk chocolate bar released by Milton S. Hershey at the end of the 19th century. If you want a basic chocolate bar done right on Halloween, look no further than the legendary Hershey Bar. Made with only the best ingredients, Hershey bars are simple, straight to the point, and ridiculously delicious!
In Conclusion
Of course there are many great Halloween candies that didn't make the top 10 that deserve an honorable mention here. Trick or treaters also love getting Milk Duds, Nerds, Crunch Bars, Heath Bars, Starburst, Baby Ruth, and Swedish Fish.
You probably have your own list of the best Halloween candy, but this list is an impeccable guide to satisfy the thrill seeking trick or treaters this year. It will not fail!
One final thing I feel must be discussed here: candy corn.
I know it may be controversial, as candy corn has frequently ranked on the world's worst Halloween candy reviews, but there are also just as many people who love getting candy corn on Halloween.
The debate rages on about the best and worst candy to get on Halloween, but rest assured, this is a sturdy list that you can have the utmost confidence in. We wouldn't trick you!
