What was your favorite Halloween candy?

[BillsPride12]

What were your favorites when you were a kid and went trick or treating?

 

Reese's

Twix

Snickers 

 

But I also used to love getting the random sour candies like sour patch kids or skittles and then the random, unique candy you didn't see on the regular too often was always exciting.

Milky Way, Snickers, and 3 musketeers. Any one of these will do. If I have to pick one, it would be 3 musketeers.

It's funny I left Milky Way off my list because that was actually my all-time favorite Candy Bar as a kid but I guess I don't associate it with Halloween as much because I used to get them year round.  I didn't call them Milky Ways though for awhile and now I can't remember what name I had for them when I was little lol.  My grandma used to always get them for me.

Snickers

Mallo Cups

 

 After filling up the pillow cases, we'd go to one of our neighbors who had a huge picnic table

and deck area.  There we feasted on DiCamillo donuts, hot chocolate or apple cider.

Many candy exchanges occurred at this table.

I know I'm in the minority, but I actually like candy corn, especially the mix where you get candy corn, Indian corn, and those little pumpkins.

Hershey's chocolate bar with almonds. Full-size. (Whoever came up with the phrase "fun size" probably has a frustrated wife.)

 

 

[Saxum]

Mallo Cups

Charleston Chews - would freeze and break them

The  prewrapped chocolate squares which were thicker normal candy bars and would have peanuts or raisins in them.

I wasn’t into any specific candy that much, it was more of a VOLUME thing. We would get pillow cases and garbage bags full of candy, stash them in some bushes and start filling up a new one. There was no way one person could eat all that candy…..and live to tell the tale.

That's what it was like when I was a kid too.  I would start off trick or treating in my parents neighborhood, then my parents would take us over to both of my Grandmother's neighborhoods and we would go trick or treating all over there too with my cousin.  We would have legitimately 3 bags full of Candy and would go back to my Grandma's after we were done and then we would count our stash and make trades etc.  Looking back those are still great memories.  I feel like trick or treating doesn't resonate with the younger generation the same way it did back then.

almond joys.

 

I would have said mallo cups but I don't think I ever got any in a  halloween haul. I collected the paper coins to redeem for candy  and spent every spare cent I had on them when I was a kid.  Mallo cups omg. ♥️

My dentist would disagree with you.  Haha

 

 

It is funny though watching The Sopranos and seeing Anthony Jr drink Coke at every meal (liquid candy as my dad would call it) and thinking that’s disgusting!  But at his age I did it too 

[Doc]

Choco'Lite.  

 

And the widow who lived on our street always made popcorn balls every Halloween.  I used to love those things.

Same, but do you like circus peanuts?

I think I have diabetes from candy I got as a teenager. 

 

One of my bags I was carrying had costume items and I'd change and go back to houses giving good stuff and join other groups.  Only one neighbor refused and I think it is because one of their kids snitched.

Devious little child, you were! Clever, but devious.  😂 

 

I was all about the bounty. The HEFT!  I never ate much of it.
