Yeah, Reese's is awesome, too. We used to call them Reesie cups.

I wasn't even aware there was such a thing. There used to be a candy bar called a Mars Bar, which cost a dime when they rest of them cost a nickel, and that's what Snickers with almonds is today.

Did you ever have a Three Musketeers, back when there were three flavors of nougat under the chocolate--pink, white, and brown, just like Neapolitan ice cream.

How about a Seven-Up Bar, which had seven sections, each with a different filling? They weren't around long (copyright problems, I expect).

1. Plain and Peanut M&M's
2. Reese's Cups
3. Payday ..I know it wasn't a choice


The rest I'll throw in the Halloween free for all bowl in The Lounge. I don't know if I can consume any of the Hershey mini bars so they're being placed in the free for all bowl as well.

I'm suspect scholars will cite your list for many years to come.

I'd rank Reese's Cups ahead of M&Ms based on taste, but you know that those cups melt in your hand while M&Ms do not, so there's a major point in favor of M&Ms!

I think about and plan for it all year round.


I have to be honest, I love homemade Buckeye candies much more than Reese's Cups, but that's not going to stop me from indulging in a peanut butter cup once in awhile.


I do have to watch the ingredients on packages due to gluten, rye and barely. Oreo's have gluten free options available, which is bad for me because who can stop at one or two Oreo's? I'm also a carb counter.

I’m really missing peanut butter kisses. Wish they’d start making them again. Also love Heath Bars but they didn’t make the list!

Turning that list practically upside down. Butterfinger at #1 and Hot Tamales climbing into the #2 spot.

I'm with ya on the Sour Patch and Skittles. Sour and fruity candy ain't my thing!

you'd be partial to Skittles. Not sure what gave it away, but there's something in the air...

All the chocolate first, with Reese's at the top followed by M&Ms.

Then Starburst, followed by all the non-chocolate and Hot Tamales at the bottom.

Fun comment: My dad was in charge of buying the Halloween candy when we were growing up. We lived fairly high up on a hill, so he always bought his favorite candy - caramel suckers.

My neighbor has two bowls for trick or treaters. One has full sized candy bars for the kids, not the silly little one-bite teasers. The other has little soldiers, nips or whatever you call the airplane-sized alcoholic beverages.

I’ll be away this Halloween so no “candy” for me!
