3rd post in with no mention of Reese's PB cups, for shame! Reese's PB cups, Kitkat, Snickers get my vote.

Edit- cow tales are excellent, but not something you can find in every store

I always get Reese's Peanut Butter Cups to give out to kids because when I was a kid that was always what I wanted to get.

I like a lot of candy, but for Halloween I'm one of the people who does love candy corn. It's not my favorite candy and it's pretty much crap for you as it's just sugar (well, mainly corn syrup) and food coloring, but I'm still a sucker for it this time of year. Usually dirt cheap the day after Halloween, too. :)

You're a filthy liar.

I am also a candy corn aficionado.

I don't eat much candy now, but I scarfed it by the truckload as a kid. Can't think of too many things I didn't like. Toffee would be one, so Heath bars were out. Black licorice was another. Never a huge fan of Starburst, either - like eating artificially flavored wax.

I LOVED those peanut butter kisses as a kid. Anything with peanut butter, but at Halloween those things were devoured.

As an adult, Snickers above all else. Can't think of anything that even comes close.

How about the opposite question? Instead of favorite candy what's your least favorite? If you were captured committing espionage and subjected to the rare and hideous candy torture where you were forced to eat the one you hated most, what would it be? Mine might be candy corn, but it would be close between candy corn and circus peanuts.

Are you forgetting marshmallow peeps?

Worse even than candy corn were those Halloween candies of the exact same thing in the shape of pumpkins. Take something that's not good and make pieces of candy that weight 4x as much and it's even more sickening.

Really? The only candies that are worse are

I'm fan of Kit Kats, Snickers, and Joyva Ring Jells.
I was just kidding about the Mary Janes but I love circus peanuts, particularly when they are slightly stale.

Ack, Peeps are awful. I just view them as an Easter thing, like a penance Christians force upon people for killing their invisible man in the sky. Never saw them at Halloween,, but wow, that would be scary.
