Best Candy

by Avvie McInnes

Starbursts

Starbursts are fruity, taffy candies. They come in the shape of tiny squares. They come in many varieties, including Tropical, Very Berry, Summer Blast, and many more. They’ve even made Starburst Duos, with two flavors in one! These are definitely a good pick to hand out to trick-or-treaters.

Snickers

Snickers is a chocolate bar that consists of nougat, caramel, peanuts, and of course, chocolate! It is one of the most loved candy bars, as it ranks as the 3rd most popular candy bar in America! Lots of people will be pleased to get these on Halloween! 

Gummy Bears

Gummy Bears are definitely a favorite candy. And not just Gummy Bears. So many gummy products exist, such as gummy worms, gummy frogs, gummy snakes, and even Coca-Cola bottles that taste like the soda! Gummy Bears, and all the other gummy delights have definitely become a favorable candy by many!

Sour Patch Kids

Sour Patch Kids are a soft, chewy gummy candy coated in a sour powder. They start sour but turn sweet in your mouth, which inspired the slogan “Sour. Sweet. Gone.”. Like many of the other sweets on this list, Sour Patch kids also offer many different varieties such as, Sour Patch Watermelons, Sour Patch Big Kids, and Sour Patch Bites. Personally, these have to be one of my favorites and I’m sure many people would agree!

M&Ms

M&Ms are tiny chocolate candies surrounded by a candy shell. They typically contain milk chocolate, but there are almost 50 different types with different fillings. These are just a few:

M&M’s came out in 1941 and have been a huge hit since!

Skittles

Skittles are like M&Ms, but with a sugary, fruity inside. They are on the top ten list of most popular candies in America, and they deserve it. There are Sour Skittles which are Skittles coated with a sour powder, for an extra kick. Skittles are definitely a favorite candy that many people would love to receive on Halloween!

Twix

Twix are candy bars that consist of shortbread, caramel, and chocolate! They are one of the most popular candies, and 215 million bars are sold annually! That’s a lot of chocolate! Twix have left and right Twix that come in a pack and it is said that right Twix has chewy caramel and soft cookie, while left Twix has smooth caramel and crunchy cookie. Obviously, many people disagree and say that the two are identical, but either way, these candies are delicious!

Hershey Chocolate

Even with all the crazy candies in the world, basic Hershey’s chocolate has to be one of the best. Ever since Hershey was founded in 1894, it has been one of the best known candy brands. Even though it may seem plain, it is definitely many people’s favorites!

Kit Kat

Kit Kats are a delicious chocolate and wafer candy. They came out in 1935, known as “Rowntree’s Chocolate Crisp” but were changed to “KIT KAT Chocolate Crisp”. They come in many different flavors including, white chocolate, cookies and cream, and even blueberry muffin! I think that these crunchy candies are one of the best candies ever!

Reese's Peanut Butter Cups

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups have won the number one candy, and they deserve it! They’re chocolate with peanut butter on the inside! They came out in 1928 and quickly became one of the most popular candies. These definitely deserve the number one spot!
