Halloween candy

We my last “Listed” addressing what kind of
candy you definitely don’t want to buy for all
those tots knocking on your door this Halloween, I
thought it might be prudent to offer up a couple of
examples of good Halloween candy. This is the kind
of stuff that will have kids racing to your porch, but
that you also won't mind eating when you're stuck
with all the leftovers.

  

-

1. Caramilk bars. They're always the ones
that get eaten first out of the Halloween
stash, so you know they’re good.

2. Reese’s Pieces. These candies literally are
the colours of Halloween (if you replace
black with brown). Plus they taste like
sugary peanut butter. That’s kind ofa
protein, so you can pretend theyre good
for you.

3. Smarties. They’re not the best tasting
candy, but anything that comes in a box is
Halloween gold. And they're not available
in the United States, so they’e totally
patriotic.

4. Nerds. Remember what I said about boxes?
Not only do Nerds come in boxes, but they
come in a fancy box with a weird opening
that no one has the patience to deal with.
That makes them better—I don’t know
why.

5. Skittles. Tiny, colourful, and capable of
putting you in a sugar coma all on their
own.

Starburst. Nothing beats the mystery of
wondering what two flavours you got. All
that hope for a red or maybe a tasty pink,
only to find that some asshat packed two
yellow ones together. Nobody likes lemon;
it shouldn't even be an option.

Peanut M&Ms. Let’s face it, the only thing
that would make anyone pick M&M’s over
Smarties, is the fact that an M&M might
also contain a peanut. They’ delicious,
and the bane of kids with food based
allergies, meaning that if you hand them
out, there’s a good chance you won't have
to give them to every kid, so there will be
more for you at the end of the night.

Swedish Berries. Has ever a gummy

candy been more perfect? I’m assuming
not, because as a kid I never got to eat

my Swedish Berries—my older sisters
always stole them. Now you have the
chance to bring that experience of sibling
dysfunction to a whole new generation of
trick-or-treaters, and isn’t that what the joy
of childhood is all about?

Doritos. Okay, technically they're not
candy, but believe me, all that cheesy
synthetic goodness will be a welcome
change for any kid after they've eaten their
ninth chocolate bar.

. Blow Pops. Everyone loves candy, and
nothing makes candy better than candy
inception!
