5 Best Halloween Candies You Should Try

Halloween is celebrated as a time for tricks and treats throughout the United States. On Halloween, children all over the country will dress up as ghouls and witches and go door-to-door collecting candy from their neighbors. Here are the top 5 Best Halloween Candies to try:

5. KitKat

The standard bars are made up of two or four pieces that are made up of three layers of the wafer that are separated and covered by an outer layer of chocolate. Each finger can be removed from the bar individually. Kit Kat comes in a variety of flavors, including milk, white, and dark chocolate.

In Japan alone, flavors include wasabi and sake – while the gift of a KitKat is customary for students sitting their exams. The country’s KitKat Chocolatery even lets you design your own dream KitKat.

4. Candy Corn

Candy corn is a small, pyramid-shaped candy with a waxy texture and a flavor based on honey, sugar, butter, and vanilla that is typically divided into three sections of different colors.

Around the turn of the twentieth century, candy corn was marketed as a year-round treat called “Chicken Feed.”

Despite its longevity, candy corn has been a contentious confection in the United States. According to a Mashable survey from 2017, the treat is the “most hated type of candy” in 21 states. Many people might disagree: According to the National Confectioners Association, candy corn is the second-most popular Halloween treat, trailing only chocolate but ahead of gummies.

3. Circus Peanuts

American, peanut-shaped marshmallow candy is typically made from sugar, corn syrup, gelatin, pectin, soy protein, food coloring, and artificial flavor.

The sweets are peanut-shaped marshmallow candies, not actual peanuts. Spangler Candy Co., which has been producing circus peanuts since 1941, sells them in the traditional banana flavor, as well as vanilla, cherry, and lemon. According to Eater, circus peanuts originated as one of the “penny candies” of the 1800s, alongside candy corn and “bottle caps.”

“Circus Peanuts are so great that during World War II when sugar was rationed, Circus Peanuts slurry was jarred and sold as a sugar replacement,” Spangler says on the company’s website.

2. Twix

The crunch of the cookie. The delectable hard caramel. The incredibly smooth chocolate. Twix has a lot of things to love but this thing is even better in fun-size form. The proportions of the three main ingredients are simply perfect, striking a balance that makes the intense sugar rush entirely worthwhile.

Twix was known as Raider in mainland Europe for many years before changing its name in 1991.
The biscuit is typically topped with caramel and then coated with milk chocolate. There is also an additional thin layer of chocolate between the biscuit and the caramel.

1. Reese’s Cups

Not only is it the best candy out there, but it’s also one of the best snacks ever, a perfect marriage of peanut butter and chocolate. And it’s extremely versatile… especially for Halloween.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are a type of American candy in which a chocolate cup is filled with peanut butter. The Hershey Company generates more than $2 billion in annual sales from Reese’s, and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are the best-selling candy brand.
