How would you rearrange this list of most popular Halloween candy?

[True Dough]

[cyclonefence]

1. Where's Snickers?

[True Dough]

2. Is that your #1?

[cyclonefence]

3. Snickers is the #1 candy of all true Americans

[relayerbob]

5. Nah-ah, it's Reese's lol

Snickers is right there, though

[cyclonefence]

7. I'll have to ask to see your (long-form, of course) birth certificate

Yeah, Reese's is awesome, too. We used to call them Reesie cups.

[DURHAM D]

6. Have you tried the Snickers with Pecans instead of peanuts?

[cyclonefence]

11. No

I wasn't even aware there was such a thing. There used to be a candy bar called a Mars Bar, which cost a dime when they rest of them cost a nickel, and that's what Snickers with almonds is today.

Did you ever have a Three Musketeers, back when there were three flavors of nougat under the chocolate--pink, white, and brown, just like Neapolitan ice cream.

[DURHAM D]

12. I don't recall those 3 Musketeers.

[cyclonefence]

13. You might be too young

How about a Seven-Up Bar, which had seven sections, each with a different filling? They weren't around long (copyright problems, I expect).

[DURHAM D]

15. I recall the Seven up bar.

My favorite candy bar to this day is Crunchie.

[Marthe48]

29. I remember those

Tasty!

[TexasBushwhacker]

27. Indeed!

4. Reese's #1

Snickers should be there, and would be #2. after that, I would pass.

[Niagara]

8. My unpopular opinion

1. Plain and Peanut M&M's
2. Reese's Cups
3. Payday ..I know it wasn't a choice


The rest I'll throw in the Halloween free for all bowl in The Lounge. I don't know if I can consume any of the Hershey mini bars so they're being placed in the free for all bowl as well.

[True Dough]

21. You're like the Halloween aficionado 'round these parts.

I'm suspect scholars will cite your list for many years to come.

I'd rank Reese's Cups ahead of M&Ms based on taste, but you know that those cups melt in your hand while M&Ms do not, so there's a major point in favor of M&Ms!

[Niagara]

25. I've dubbed myself Hallow Queen... I suspect I might have an addiction to Halloween

I think about and plan for it all year round.


I have to be honest, I love homemade Buckeye candies much more than Reese's Cups, but that's not going to stop me from indulging in a peanut butter cup once in awhile.


I do have to watch the ingredients on packages due to gluten, rye and barely. Oreo's have gluten free options available, which is bad for me because who can stop at one or two Oreo's? I'm also a carb counter.

9. #1Butterfinger, #2 Kisses, #3 Mini bars, #4 M&M's...

#5 Reese's
#6 Candy Corn
#7 Hot tamales
#8 Sour Patch Kids
#9 Starburst
#10 Skittles

How'd I do?

[True Dough]

20. Butterfinger is underrated!

And your 8, 9, and 10 are deserving cellar dwellers.

I'd give you an A+!

[littlemissmartypants]

23. Yay! Cheers! TY! ❤️

[fierywoman]

30. A girl after my own heart!

[littlemissmartypants]

32. Awwwe! Thanks, fierywoman. ❤️

[brush]

10. Just limit it to Reeses Cups and we'll be fine. Maybe throw in M&Ms and Hersey Kisses too.

That's it.

[BOSSHOG]

14. Not on the list but

I’ll go with Three Musketeers

[Alliepoo]

16. Wow! OK #1 Butterfingers

#2 Hot tamales
#3 M&’s
#4 Candy Corn
#5 Hershey mini’s
#6 Hershey Kisses
#7 Reese Cups
#8 Starburst
#9 Sour Patch
#10 Skittles
I’m really missing peanut butter kisses. Wish they’d start making them again. Also love Heath Bars but they didn’t make the list!

[True Dough]

19. Look at you!

Turning that list practically upside down. Butterfinger at #1 and Hot Tamales climbing into the #2 spot.

I'm with ya on the Sour Patch and Skittles. Sour and fruity candy ain't my thing!

[Skittles]

17. 4, 10, 9, 2, 8, 1, 3, 7, 6, 5

yes INDEED

[True Dough]

18. We should have figured

you'd be partial to Skittles. Not sure what gave it away, but there's something in the air...

[keithbvadu2]

22. Already gone!... Next... Soon

[jmowreader]

24. Can do easy, GI

All the chocolate first, with Reese's at the top followed by M&Ms.

Then Starburst, followed by all the non-chocolate and Hot Tamales at the bottom.

Fun comment: My dad was in charge of buying the Halloween candy when we were growing up. We lived fairly high up on a hill, so he always bought his favorite candy - caramel suckers.

[PJMcK]

26. Well, that's for kids and I'm much older

My neighbor has two bowls for trick or treaters. One has full sized candy bars for the kids, not the silly little one-bite teasers. The other has little soldiers, nips or whatever you call the airplane-sized alcoholic beverages.

I’ll be away this Halloween so no “candy” for me!

[3catwoman3]

28. Reese's Peanut butter cups - have you ever seen the XL ones...

...that are about as big around as a small tea cup saucer? Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After that:
- M&Ms - they need to bring back the Christmas white chocolate peppermint flavor/ the key lime ones are nasty
- Hershey's

I don't care for the rest of the choices.

[fargone]

31. Delete 3 - 7

[pansypoo53219]

33. mike + ike's, lemonheads.

[LudwigPastorius]

34. 1 M&Ms (only if they are peanut M&Ms)

2 Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
3 Butterfinger
4 Hershey mini bars (which presumably include Mr. Goodbars & Krackles)
5 Hot Tamales
6 Hershey's Kisses (pretty meh, but they are chocolate)
7 Skittles (sorry, Skittles)
8 Starburst
9 Sour Patch Kids
10 Candy Corn (the painful rectal itch of Halloween treats)
.
.
.
3,549 Circus Peanuts (the Ebola of Halloween treats)

[ProfessorGAC]

35. Here's My Order

I am doing this under protest, because no Twix or Snickers, but:
2 Reeses
10 Butterfinger
9 Hershey Bar
8 Hershey Kiss
1 M&M
4 Skittles
5 Starburst
6 Hot Tamakes
3 Sour Patch
7 Candy Cord

[True Dough]

36. Would Twix and Snickers be your #1 & 2, Prof?

[ProfessorGAC]

39. You Bet!

Big fan of both those candy bars.
We buy the stuff we like for Halloween so the leftovers get used. Twix, Snickers, Milky Way, Baby Ruth, Butterfinger.
Truth be known, I'm not big on candy that doesn't involve chocolate. (Except for caramel.)
Skittles & Twizzlers are probably the whole list of non-chocolate candy.

[debm55]

37. Where's the Circus Peanuts?
