OT: (last one of the offseason) best Halloween candy

[CTMike]

Everything in moderation I suppose except for....

UConn Championships?

Can we all agree that NECCO Wafers are the worst? Yes? Let's move on.

Pretty much the worst. I do remember as a kid getting a kind of pure sugar candy that came in little circles and was pasted
to an adding machine type paper tape. Belt fed candy that actually still would have paper stuck to it when you tore it off to
get the sugar hit. Horrible but as a kid I would eat anything that was sugar.

When emptying the pillow case tonight I was most excited to see:

Mike and Ikes, Mounds, Necco wafers and Kit Kats.

You are a strange kind of human.

 

[UC1995]

Best: Take 5 (now) or Bar None (kid)
Worst: Bit of Honey or Candy Corn (always)

My favorites are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Snickers...which is a problem, because the last few months, whenever I've had either, I'll start coughing when I'm swallowing them and my throat feels a little scratchy. Is it possible to develop a peanut allergy as an adult? I hope not, because I love peanut butter.

Before thinking allergy try removing the wrapper.

Am I missing something?

 

[61cygni]

Just the first person I've ever heard of who enjoyed Necco wafers

Yes, I've read that it is possible and peanut allergies can be very serious. Ask your doctor about it.

Worst: Mounds
Best: Almond Joy

Just kidding. The answer, like boog said, is Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (followed by Snickers).

 

[TRest]

I like Necco wafers but wouldn't go out of my way to buy them. I also remember those sugar dots on the paper, those were bizarre and impossible to separate from the paper cleanly.

 

[mauconnfan]

Best: Take 5

Worst: Whoppers/Milkduds

Anything with "chocolate" and "malt" in the ingredients will be plain awful.

 

[huskiesNhoos]

I bet a lot of people who claim to hate candy with nuts or coconut probably tried them once when they were little and decided it was strange so they wouldn't eat it again. Chocolate without nuts is pretty boring.

I claim to hate candy with almonds and coconut, because I don't like almonds or coconut

 

[Huskyforlife]

Necco are good, don't understand the hate for them.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Take 5's are great.

Never was a fan of sugar candies- Dum Dums, Sweet Tarts, Necco, Starburst, etc.

Always like chocolate, caramel and some kind of peanut combo- Snickers, Baby Ruth's, etc.

 

[CTMike]

Necco are good, don't understand the hate for them.

Because they taste like they were punched out of cardboard?

No love for the Whatchamacallit?

Not a common Halloween treat. My haul didn't yield a single one. Love them, tho.

 

[Paesano]

Like Fishy, I am back to avoiding sugar like it is poison. Technically, up to 8g a day is ok but none of these fit that constraint, sadly.

Before I had died, I have to say Kit Kat was my favorite. I love wafers. Peanut Butter Cups, Crunch Bars and Baby Ruth are close. I used to like Twix and 100 Thousand bars but anything qith that much caramel turns my stomach into Dante's inferno now.

 

[Paesano]

Dyed in the wool yankee hater. The Reggie Bar was awesome.

Here is a little known fact for you. Reggie Bars, which were indeed friggin awesome, were made by a company called Pearsons. They were re-branded as Reggie Bars. Pearson still makes them, under the name Bunn, but they are very hard to find.
