Kit Kat bars. They were truly a beautiful thing.

caramel apple pops are THE BOMB!

they give you wicked lugies.

...god, my friends and i were gross in grade school...

twix-100 grand-heath-laffy taffy

did anyone else do this? my brother, best friend and i (allways the same trick or treating team) would spend hours "organizing" our candy. spreading it all out on the floor, and putting it into color order, or flavor order, and mixing it all up and just...doing it again, but different?? i noticed that the girl i babysit does it too, and my little cousins do it...did all kids do it????

maybe the devil is trying to communicate with the children through the candy...

Take 5 is pretty yummy, lol. I managed to eat up our bag of kissables before Halloween even started:p

I love visiting my sisiter on Halloween night because she always hands out the "good" stuff: Reeses, Snickers, Twix, M&Ms, etc. As I was digging through her stash a few years ago, I saw a Take 5 bar. After one bite, I was hooked. While my sister wasn't looking, I proceeded to pick every single Take 5 bar out of her candy bowl and keep them all for myself. To this day, I don't think she realizes that I cheated her trick-or-treaters out of their Take 5s.

Snickers, Milky Way, 3 Muskateers, Kit Kat, Twix, Mounds, Almond Joy, Reeses Cups and Abba Zabba.

Twix by far!

Chew on That

Just about anything that ISN'T pure sugar. Throw a little salty in there (Reese, Twix, Snickers)...and you've got a winner!

@montana eats-that was funny :)

@Kimc54-i couldn't agree with you more about mounds being the best.
i love the bite sized bags, although i do find myself looking at the number of wrapper corpses strewn about afterwards and feel ashamed of my gluttony.

I imagine the answer to this question depends heavily upon when you did your trick or treating. For me, that would be roughly between 1957 and 1965. No Reese's pieces, no Nerds, but maybe more regional favorites. I liked Boyer's Mallo Cups, Three Musketeers, and Milk Duds, but Dots were good, too. I had no use for anything with nuts of any kind (what do kids know, anyway?).

Reese's cups, peanut M&Ms, Reese's pieces.

It's all about the peanuts for me.

Back in the stone age when I went trick-or-treating there were little boxes of black licorice-they called them pipes but they were really just little tubes. If you blew into them just right they'd whistle. I also really like Smarties and Reese's Cups.
