Anything licorice.
Candy corn is awesome. Tootsie rolls, however, are an abomination unto the candy gods.
I know, they’re great. I don’t like the regular chocolate tootsie rolls, but I might be in the minority here.
It’s Christmas, not Halloween related, but candy cane kisses are the best. I don’t like regular kisses or peppermint candy canes, but together something happens and they taste amazing.
That article made me sad. I love Sesame Crunch, Fruit-flavored Tootsie Rolls, and especially Necco wafers, which I used to share with my late mom when I was little. I can’t look at Neccos without thinking of her. And my dad loves root beer barrels, and tygre loves candy corn.
Circus peanuts, I agree, are evil.
Does anyone still give rock candy? It’s just a huge sugar crystal, guaranteed to break your teeth.
Everything else is good.
DUH!
Ugh! Like those coconut versions of Neapolitan ice cream? Bleah…and the little ones…Nonesuch? Something like that.
Yick. Coconut is like Jolly Rancher. It never dies. You’re chewing it for HOOOUUUURRRRS! Long after it’s lost all flavor, you’re still chewing and can’t somehow bring yourself to swallow. Bleah.
I would like to thank you all for planning my Halloween treats for this year.
Circus Peanuts
Mary Janes
Bit O’ Honey
Peanut Butter Kisses
That’s what happens when you give me the option to trick or treat. Tricks on youz guyz, you filthy rotten little beggars. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
I’m reserving the SweeTarts (which only I like) & Candy Corn for myself
Candy corn is Satan’s baby teeth.
I like circus peanuts and candy corn.
Peanut butter kisses and seasame crunch were always on my hate list. Bit-o-Honey were pretty bad too.
Also licorice, but my brother and sister love it. At least I could trade that.
I only tried Necco wafers recently - they are the gag.
Gummy fruits - not the modern kind like gummy bears, but resembling the stuff found in fruitcakes and covered with pseudo-sugar that only emphasized the bitter machine-oil like taste they had. Anybody know what I mean? If you’re over 50, you probably do and arel likely guilty of handing these things out.
OMG!!! I’m dyin’ here!! LOL!! Best description ever!
I HAAATE Good N Plenty. Yes, they’re innocently pink & white and you happily suck away at the yummy sweetness for about 20 seconds and then blam! OMFG! the horror!
I just can’t comprehend anyone actually ENJOYING the taste of black licorice. I’d rather have a liver souffle.*
*just kidding…that’s hell food too.
I hated popcorn balls, and those orange and/or black raped wads of fake peanut butter.
There was always some retarded person who’d give out a toothbrush or something like that too.
I used to love the candy cigarettes and candy necklaces though. And candy corn was great, especially the chocolate candy corn.
Well, it seems as if some of that candy we’ve hating on may indeed really be evil, at least according to these people:

Horehound hard Candies. Stupid 90 year olds.:mad:
All 5 of those rank as the grossest candies given for Halloween. There were lots of didn’t likes, but they were not gross.
Screw this crap about collecting for Unicef instead of candy too. The schools always push their moral agenda on the school kids and then berate you for not collecting instead of doing what most kids do on the holiday. Why didn’t you collect money! You disappointed Jesus so he’s sad today. :rolleyes:
But, if memory serves, candy necklaces are best in the summer, where you wear them all day, while playing kick ball, badminton, and volley ball, so you, y’know, sweat on it all day. This enhances the flavor of the candy in a subtle, nuanced, yet not-easily-reproduced way. 
I loathe candy corn. But it gave birth to a Lewis Black standup bit that my brothers love, so it will sort of even out if I can go the rest of my life without eating any of the stuff.
I actually like the peanut butter kisses. If they’re fresh. Not if they’re off-brand leftovers from last Halloween.
Hated circus peanuts and popcorn balls. I also wasn’t a big fan of peanuts in general, so any candy with nuts in it was foisted off onto my sister.
QUOTE from NDP: “…The TRUE brand of candy corn is made by Goelitz (a.k.a., the Jelly Belly Company)…”
OK, I spoke recklessly. Brachs may not be the only decent brand. My point was really just that some candy corn is great, while the knock-off stuff is not.
NDP, thanks for the heads up, I will definitely have to try Goelitz.
I don’t understand how original Tootsie Rolls can be so vile when the fruit flavored varieties are manna from candy heaven.
