7 Halloween Candies That Are the Absolute Worst

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Scranton chapter.

We all have our favorite Halloween candies. If you’ve received M&Ms or Hersey bars and gave a shout out to grandma for the full-size Reese’s, you know what it’s like to have a bangin’ Halloween candy stash. Unfortunately, we’ve all been to those houses that seem like they got their candy out of the bottom of the kitchen cabinet. Whether you’re a white chocolate or a Kit Kat kind of girl, you can agree that these candies were less than appealing in your plastic pumpkin.

1.) Cow Tales So maybe they’re ok now, but back in the days of Cheetah girl costumes these sticks of caramel grossness were definitely not what you wanted to be chowing down.

2.) Milk Duds Look, mom! I got tooth glue!

3.) Almond Joy We’re still not really sure why anyone voluntarily eats coconut over peanut butter covered in chocolate.

4.) Dots If you look closely enough, you can probably find a piece of one still stuck in your molar from 3rd grade.

5.) Smarties Your candy bag was guaranteed to have at least ten packs of these babies in it by the end of the night. If we wanted to eat chalk, we’d do it on our own.

6.) Candy Corn We’re still waiting to find one person who actually enjoys candy corn…

7.) Raisinets It’s hard to even refer to these little wrinkled demons as candy. Raise your hand if you’ve been personally victimized by your parents passing them off as candy.

She is a senior at the University of Scranton majoring in Strategic Communication with a concentration in Public Relations and a minor in Finance. When she's not goofing off with her friends or spending time with her family, there is a very big chance that she's binge watching Criminal Minds on Netflix. Emily has a love-hate relationship with Moe's Southwest Grill and would probably eat chips and queso for every meal if it didn't mean that she'd have to work out afterwards. She loves being a part of Her Campus Scranton and can't wait to see what her future holds!
