Hershey bars miniature. I prefer dark chocolate, but I celebrate all flavors.

Reeses Peanut butter cups.

 

 

Bad

Taffy

Reeces Pieces

 

Abomination

Swedish Fishes. What are they even trying to be?

Peanut Butter M&M's. They can't do anything that a regular peanut M&M can't do better.

I don't eat the candy.  It's definitely more fun taking the kiddo around.  I try to avoid the sugar and all that healthy shit.  However, I'm going to have to completely disagree with your take on peanut butter M&Ms.  I don't like peanut M&Ms but absolutely slam on the peanut butter M&Ms.  We can't have them in the house.

My favorites from when I used to eat candy:

1) Twix

2) Kit Kat

3) York Patties/3 musketeers/milky way/M&Ms (no peanut)

Bad:

1) Nerds

Abominations:

1) Dots...I mean, what the fuck are those?

 

Also, if I find a house that's giving out little boxes of Junior Mints, we'll go to that house three or four times.

Devoured First:

Twix, Snickers, Milky Way, Chick-O-Stick.

Tier 2:

Reese's Cups and Pieces, Lemonhead, Butterfinger, 3 Musketeers, Peanut M&M.

Tier 3:

Sweet Tarts, Smarties, candy cigs (yeah, I'm GenX), Kit-Kat, Almond Joy, Nerds, DumDums, Starburst.

GTFO:

Bit-O-Honey, those things Wally Prior posted, black licorice, Necco Wafers, Circus Peanuts

Take 5, Reese’s peanut butter cups, snickers, peanut m&ms, Twix are the top 5 IMO 

If y'all don't like smarties  I don't know what to tell you.

Best:  Reeses Peanut Butter anythings.  Milky Way.  Butterfingers.  Hershey's miniatures.

Worst:  Jack Chick tracts.  Prepare to get your house egged motherfucker.

Take 5 is about as grown up as a candy bar can be. It’s related to Pay Day, which is the fave of middle aged dads every where. 
 

Good - PayDay, Take 5, Reese’s cups, snickers, sour patch kids, Hershey’s cookies and creme 

Bad - Almond Joy, Smarties, Hershey’s Kisses (plain—others are ok I guess), Plain M&Ms

Ugly - Swedish fish are the worst, agreed. Also, Tootsie Rolls

had a pack saturday.

1) Krackel
2) Snickers / M&Ms / Take 5 / Twix / etc
3) Larry Taffy / gobstoppers 

Nothing else is worth mentioning really. I hate nearly everything Hershey but that’s cause I smell the factory when the wind blows SE.

Candy corn and pumpkins. Fuck the haters. 

Butterfinger and Almond Joy are the best.

 

Worst are those black and orange wax paper things someone posted above. 

I'd rather fuck with some wax lips than eat this shit below. Also, forgot about the assholes who handed out little boxes of raisins.

The only flavor of Hersey miniature that sucks is the dark choclate, and if you don't like reeses pieces then God help your soul

Love them.  Also love me some Bit-O-Honey

Whether small, snack size, bite size or full size...Milky Way Simply Caramel.

Underrated - 100 Grand

Dots - 🤮

Twizzlers-🤢

 

we recently discovered chocolatey PayDays.

it's like a...a...saltier more delicious Snickers.

if you haven't had one of these jewels, consider yourselves warned.

I tell my kids to grab the 100 grands only to steal them later. Very underrated. 

This always goes over well with the neighborhood kids.

Do these even have a name or have they always been referred to as “these, this or they”?

The only candy I dislike and/or won't eat is candy corn and peeps type candies. Made up shit that tastes weird or bad for a specific holiday. 

Give me all the rest of the candy though. I love candy. 

Dots love em

Chocolate anything? Sign me up

Nerd, gobstoppers, any wonka shit? Fuckin rights I'll eat it.

I haven’t eaten a piece of candy or had a bite of a dessert in a year and a half.  If somebody gifted me with a bag of the worst shit listed in this thread, I’d chow it down like a yard dog after a fresh can of Alpo.  I can barely remember the taste of a Mars Bar (now Snickers almond, I think, for youngsters)—y’all live it up.

What she said....

SWMBO has filled the candy basket already.

She needs to hide that thing. 2 nerds and a Reese’s mini cup already gone.

yeah, those black and orange wrapped things, and wax lips, are the worst.

Reese's PBC are my favorite, but I like all the chocolate.  It's all good.

And I also love smarties.  As a kid I'd torture myself, eating the first sleeve one at a time-- and then dump a whole second pack into my mouth at once.

Wife ordered some Brach's candy recently, not as good as we remembered.  But being fatasses, we'll finish them off with no problem.

Mr Goodbars are made up in large part from all the rejected ingredients of the other bars.

Haven't seen peppermints mentioned as a don't yet.  Every year I see a few in my kid's bags.  I find that unacceptable.  I didn't even realize they were for sale to the public.  I thought you had to go to Sonic to get one.

Edited by Gene Parmesan

Please give me all your chewy, fruity, sour, and gummy candies. Those are all my kryptonite. You can keep every bit of chocolate. I’ll eat some here or there but overall it’s pretty bleh to me.

The Good:

Twix, Snickers, Almond Joy, Zero, Whoppers, Sugar Babies/Daddy, Hershey, Crunch, Reese's, M&M's (Peanut FTW), Chic-O-stick, Atkinson Peanut Butter Bar

The Bad:

Generic dollar store taffy, Milky Way, 3 Musketeers (not a fan), hard candy, gum, Sweeties, Mike & Ike, Red Hots

The Ugly:

Candy corn, licorice, fruit, homemade divinity.

I know the razor blade in candy was just an urban legend, but has anyone ever consumed a homemade piece of candy procured from trick or treating post 1960?  When I was a kid one house gave out candied popcorn and I think most people threw that on the street before they even got home.

Guilty up to the mid 70's. Small town, stayed in the neighborhoods we knew. The older Mexican Abuelos used to make some really good popcorn balls and homemade candy.

Even in Austin in the late 70s/early 80s, we had a couple families in our neighborhood that gave out homemade popcorn balls and I loved them.

Any find them in stores around me but agree. I buy them if I see them anywhere. They’re awesome.
