 As spooky season creeps in, it is important to remember the reason for the season: CANDY. There are so many options, therefore I have compiled a list of my favorite candy, so you won’t waste your time on any average candy. As a self-diagnosed candy fanatic, I am more than qualified to give advice on this matter 

Peanut M&M’s

I introduce to you all the best candy that has ever been invented, the peanut M&M. Now do not get this mistaken with the very bland chocolate M&M. The peanut M&M has the same chocolatey flavor of the average M&M but the crunchy surprise of a peanut. Peanut M&M’s are the best candy, they will have you wondering how you were able to finish the family size bag…in one sitting.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

As a lover of all things peanut butter and all things chocolate, Reese’s peanut butter cup is a match made in heaven. The peanut butter middle gives this almost bland piece of chocolate a surprise. Reese’s peanut butter cups are also the perfect size for your palm, so if you mistakenly eat 10 of them…it’s not your fault.

Sour Patch Kids

This will be the only sour candy that you will ever find me eating. The interesting thing about Sour Patch Kids is in reality they are kind of nasty. The best thing about this candy is the after taste. The best way to eat a Sour Patch Kids is to bite the head of the Sour Patch and then finish the rest. Therefore, the Sour Patch does not feel any pain.

Almond Joy 

Now, I know what you’re thinking why is this old candy on the list is. However, anything with chocolate and coconut has my heart. Therefore, this candy requires a top spot on my all-time favorite candy list

Cherry Blow Pop 

Personally, I do not chew gum, but I will suffer for a cherry blow pop. I will suck around the surface of the gum just for that cherry flavor. The only fault about the cherry blow pop is by the time you get down to gum, it’s time to throw away the entire piece of candy.

I hope my list of my favorite candy has inspired you all to add some to your list. Halloween is a time where you can eat as much candy as possible, without any judgements. So, my best advice would be feast on what your heart desires.
