What's your favorite Halloween candy?
What is now or was when you were a kid? Mine was always chocolate. I can't imagine anyone not loving chocolate, but that's another story all together.
When I was Trick or Treating, I always wanted a lot of candy bars. Didn't matter what kind of candy bar it was because I liked them all.
My mom liked picking out some of the hard candy for herself and I did the same thing to my daughter when she got home with a huge load of candy at the end of the night, I think most parents do. They wait until the kid has gone to bed, coming down from the sugar rush and then go through the candy stash to pick out their favorites. Stashing them away for later.
*Don't look at me like that. You know you did it too.*
So what did you hope for when you went Trick or Treating?
Chocolates?
Hard candy?
Lollipops?
Sour candies?
Gummi candies?
Pixie Sticks?
Those weird homemade popcorn balls the old cat lady always made? lol
Candy corn? I love candy corn.
What about candied apples? I like them.
ReplyDeleteWe don't celebrate Halloween here so that is an experience I have never had.
I wish you all did celebrate it because it's so much fun.
DeleteFor Trick-or-treating, always eager to get a Snickers. Now, I really enjoy the Mellowcreme Pumpkins.
ReplyDeleteI like both of those too.
DeleteMellowcreme Pumpkins! 😱
DeleteWe do not have Halloween here, but I imagine I would prefer chocolates if we had. But these days I eat chocolate just on Sunday afternoon and that is the only sugar I take the whole week and also the only industrially made thing I eat. We did have a little kiosk selling candied apples near my school when I was little and it was fun eating them. I wouldn't risk my teeth with them today, though LOL
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, my teeth would not like the sticky caramel now a days either. I don't eat much candy these days but I like chocolate and caramel.
DeleteWhen I was a kid, I loved Sweet Tarts, Pixie Stix, and Charms Blow Pops or Tootsie Pops. I don’t eat anything but dark chocolate now, but I do like Reese’s Cups, Baby Ruth and Mounds. Actually, any chocolate bar!!!
ReplyDeleteChocolate is my favorite too.
DeleteTrick-or-treating was a long time ago for me, and I don't remember much of it, but I've always preferred chocolate too. These days full-size snickers bars are supposed to be the gold standard.
ReplyDeleteNever heard of parents taking some of their kids' candy for themselves. I don't think mine would have done that, but I suppose you never know.
I'm really surprised Snickers is the most sought after candy bar. I would have thought Milky Way or Three Musketeers would be a favorite.
DeleteI always appreciated Tootsie Pops or the weird caramel apple lollipops, just because those were unusual to get another time. Not available at the movie theatre (the other time I'd maybe get some candy).
ReplyDeleteTootsie Pops are good.
DeleteI would go for Mars bars
ReplyDeleteThat's a good one.
DeleteThe little chewy chocolate tootsie rolls.
ReplyDeleteYes, I like those too.
DeleteSnickers ~ or not ~ lol

That's a good one.
DeleteWhen I was a kid I loved tootsie roll pops. But my favorite was always Reesus peanut butter cups. Still is. And I loved licking the carmel off the candied apples, but then I never wanted to eat the apple. ;D
ReplyDeletePeanut butter cups are a favorite of mine as well. I like apples so I would eat them.
DeleteBack when the kid went door-to-door, she would select a baby ruth every once in a while for me.
ReplyDeleteAww That's asweet.
DeleteMy favorites were chocolate. Snickers. Milky Ways. Reese's Cups. After that were Tootsie Rolls and Tootsie Roll pops. Although I liked other candy favorites of the early 60's as a child (such as Pixie Sticks, Lik-m-Aid, and even candy cigarettes), they weren't welcome for Halloween. I hated getting candy corn. To this day I can't stand it. Unfortunately my mother had the same likes as I did and my chocolate seemed to vanish by the morning after. Did I do that to my child? Not saying.

ReplyDeletelmao My daughter knew what I liked and when going through the candy she would put some in a pile for me.
DeleteWhen the kids would go, I usually took all of their milk duds because they didn't like them but if I could pick anything I want it would be some sort of chocolate/caramel combo.
ReplyDeleteI like Milk Duds too.
DeleteI always liked Milky Way and Hershey's Bars but now I can't have chocolate. I sure miss it!
ReplyDeleteI get some sugar free chocolate now and again.
Deletelol You are so funny. I love all the candy bars too, but now I have to pass on the ones with nuts. I also love candy corn....and speaking of candy corn, I'm out to the kitchen to get me a bowl of it. Thanks for reminding me that Mr Wonderful stocked me up with some goodies before he went off for a guys weekend.

I don't eat much candy these days unless it's sugar free but that's ok.
DeleteI like candy corn. Not a lot, but I eat a few every season. I love candy apples. Frozen Snickers bite size for the win.
ReplyDeleteI did not know that Snickers was so popular these days.
DeleteI love candy corn, too. I'm fond of Crunch bars. My mother had some of our candy right out in the open. I don't like Snickers, she loves them, so she would keep them. We barely ate ours anyway, so it wasn't like there was any anger over parents "sharing".
ReplyDeletelmao My mom would keep all of our candy in a metal collander on top of he refrigerator and my brother would keep watch while I raided it late at night for us.
DeleteLove Snicker, Abba Zabas, and all-sorts!
ReplyDeleteI'm not picky either, I like most of it.
DeleteI always wanted Tootsie Rolls. Or Milky Way!
ReplyDeleteI like those too.
DeleteI loved the idea of a candy and Milky way sounds yummy. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteRampdiary
Thank you. I love candy bars.
DeleteAs a kid, always Sweet Tarts! Now, I dunno. Maybe milk duds or malted milk balls. 🤔
ReplyDeleteI love milk duds.
DeleteI am a lover of gummy candy, especially sour. Now this is funny because I used to hate gummies but now I would choose that over chocolate lol
ReplyDeleteOh have you tried the Jello Gummi Squares? Omg I love those.
DeleteWhen I was younger Halloween wasn't as popular here so I never went trick or treating. Nowadays it's a lot more popular and common to see people celebrating. I always liked chocolate. I never had candied apples before, but they look good.
ReplyDeleteYou should try making caramel apples. I bet you would do a great job with that and they're so good.
