As you know another Halloween has come and gone. Although it looked different from Halloweens of the past, one thing was the same: the candy! The results are in for everyone's favorite candy. Here comes the top 10 candies!!!
#10,000,000,000 Dark Chocolate Espresso Beans
I know this is a top 10, but I have to put this down because I think it’s cool. When I was surveying people what their favorite candy was someone had an unusual answer. She said she didn’t really like chocolate, but she chose dark chocolate espresso beans and yes I know it’s weird, but it's true.
Now here’s some history: During the Civil War soldiers desired coffee and ate coffee beans whole. Then they started coating things in chocolate during the 1900’s and in the 1970’s companies started coating espresso beans.
#10. Twix
Now I think this is one of those times that you will criticize me and I would agree with you. There wasn’t much talk about Twix this year and I don’t know why. It’s a very good candy, but barely made the top ten. (Sorry Three Musketeers fans you didn’t make it.)
#9. Kit Kat
Now here is a pretty good candy that I would think would be at this spot and maybe you agree.
#8. M&Ms
Well here is another classic in the top 10. M&Ms have always been in the top 10 and they still are. Probably because there is always a kind of M&Ms for you like Nutella, peanut, peanut butter, and so much more. Let’s keep this going!
#7. Snickers
Okay, here is a reasonable ranking. It's a good candy that most people like and you never know it might go a little higher next year.
#6. Mounds
Okay, this is something that most coconut lovers would like. Mounds have been moving up. (Hey guys please don’t criticize. Coconut isn’t for everyone, but it got the votes!)
#5. Starbursts
Now I would think everyone would think that we're starting to reach the good candies, but we have some shockers in the top 5 just like this one. Nobody has really been talking about this candy, but still people like it. Maybe for it's how chewy it is, or for it’s flavor.
#4. Skittles
This was pretty much the shocker I was talking about and it may be a shock to some, but here it is. This is another one of the Starburst type comebacks. It is one of those candies that aren’t as normal to see and even their fans don’t speak much about them. Maybe because most people like chocolate and they just don’t want to share their favorites. I support you, Skittle fans!
#3. Milky Way
Okay, here come the goodies and this is definitely one of them. Milky Way is a good candy and has a funny fun fact. Milky Way was originally supposed to taste like a milkshake and you can tell where they went wrong. It's still a good candy though.
#2. Hershey Chocolate
Like I told you the good candies are coming and well let me say this. Hershey had the lead for a while until we got some other votes, which brought Hershey Chocolate to a sudden halt. Now it’s time for the moment you’ve been waiting for….
#1. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
This is no big surprise for most candy lovers, but hey they made a pretty good candy and it definitely is a winner!!!
