from Tracey G.

I admit it, when we used to have Trick-Or-Treaters here, I’d buy things I personally liked because you never knew how much you’d have left over. I live in a fairly rural area, and generally we didn’t have but a handful of kids any given Halloween – so it paid to think ahead! LOL! Here’s my three faves and in no particular order:

• Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (preferably the minis!)
• Nerds
• Milky Way Fun Size

I should note here, that, as a kid I really didn’t have any favorites, in fact I didn’t eat much candy at all. It was the thrill of the hunt, getting to dress-up in costumes and go out with my friends that was the draw for me!

 

from Kris B.

Like Tracey, as a kid, I didn’t eat much candy.  Candy memories from my childhood center around visits with my maternal grandparents, which didn’t happen very often.  My grandmother would always bring me Chicklets gum and candy cigarettes.  I am dating myself here since I don’t think either of these classy confections still exist.

My favorites now are:

• Junior Mints – particularly when I go to the theater to see a movie
• Hershey Kisses – the plain milk chocolate ones
• Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

Candy is still not my go-to treat, but I do enjoy it every now and then.  And yes, when I buy our Halloween candy, I’ll buy extra of the kinds I like most with the hope of a few leftovers!
