Halloween might be done and over with, but that doesn’t mean the candy’s gone! Today I’m gonna be rating the top ten most popular candies of Halloween 2022. Let’s see if I agree with the majority or if the majority is wrong.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Skittles
M&M's
Starburst
Hot Tamales
Sour Patch Kids
Hershey Kisses
Snickers
Tootsie Pops
Candy corn
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Unless you have a peanut allergy, you literally have no reason to dislike the chocolatey, peanut buttery goodness contained in a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. These little suckers are addicting. A true 10/10 candy.
Skittles
I haven’t had Skittles since I found out that they allegedly use bug parts to dye their candy, but I don’t feel like I’m missing much. Skittles are a pretty okay candy if you’re into fruity candy, but they really don’t do anything to hit it out of the park. 5/10.
M&M’s
M&M’s are honestly, a pretty boring candy in my opinion. Just a bunch of little pills thrown in a brown bag that you crunch through in less time than it takes to say “M&M’s” correctly three times fast. But the crunchy chocolate flavor makes up for M&M’s flaws. 7/10.
Starburst
I’m actually chewing a Starburst as I write this. Whether Starbursts are actually good or not depends on the flavor you get. Pineapple/Tropical whatever-the-heck sucks, Strawberry is okay, Cherry tastes like medicine, and Lemon and Orange Starbursts are the flavors that make me give this candy an 8/10 rating.
Hot Tamales
No. 1/10.
Sour Patch Kids
Gummies are yummy. Although Sour Patch Kids aren’t really sour, and I sure hope they’re not actual kids. I can’t eat one without feeling like it will single handedly give me a cavity, but I enjoy them once in a while, so Sour Patch Kids gets a 6/10.
Hershey’s Kisses
If crappy chocolate is your thing, go for it. Honestly though, Hershey’s Kisses sometimes taste like a bag of sand was poured into the mixture. I’d eat one if I desperately needed chocolate, but still, they leave my candy cravings pretty dang unfulfilled. 3/10.
Snickers
Meh. Snickers are alright I guess. I prefer Twix personally, but the smooth caramel contrasted with the crunchy peanuts does bump up my rating of this famous Halloween candy. 7/10.
Tootsie Pops
The only bad part about Tootsie pops is when they're over. Any other sucker is a complete sucker compared to the ultimate sucker (don’t mind me, I like puns too much.) 9/10.
Candy Corn
The problem with candy corn is that, while it tastes good and has an attractive look to it, it dries out your mouth and gets old fast. It’s a mediocre candy that a lot of mediocre people like. 5/10.
There you have it, folks: the 10 most popular candies rated by none other than yours truly. If you disagree, you are clearly wrong because the way candy tastes to someone is clearly not a personal matter. I have decided for you which candy you are to enjoy. You’re welcome.
100% accurate. Hershey's bars are better: that had to be said. After all, we don't want any attacks on Hershey's bars.
