UPDATE: We tallied the votes (okay, we didn’t tally votes, but Google did!). According to our readers, the ultimate Halloween candy haul consists of:
Best New Halloween Candy: Kit Kat Ghost Toast
Best Sour Halloween Candy: Sour Patch Kids
Best Chewy Halloween Candy: Starburst
Best Fun Size Candy Bar: Twix
Best of the Rest Chocolate Candies: Peanut M&M’s
Best Halloween Reese’s: Reese’s Pumpkins
Best Classic Halloween Candy: Brach’s Candy Corn
We hope you got everything you wanted in your trick-or-treat bag this year!
After a good night of trick-or-treating—pounding the pavement, knocking on doors, begging for candy like a machine that runs on miniature candy bars—there are certain things you hope to find in your bag. At least one Reese’s item is essential. Then there are those classics that you really only consume during the Halloween season, like Tootsie Rolls and Rolos. And, of course, you need some chewy, fruity candy to break up the monotony of all the chocolate (first world problems, we know).
So, what does the ultimate Halloween candy haul look like when it’s all dumped out on the kitchen table?
In the spirit of democracy, we’re asking our readers to vote for the best candy in seven categories—best new Halloween candy, best sour Halloween candy, best fun-size candy bar, and more—to create the ultimate Halloween candy haul.
Fill out the form below and then we’ll reveal what you and fellow Sporked readers deem to be the ultimate Halloween candy haul. We’ll even sweeten the pot (or jack-o’-lantern-shaped bucket, as it were) with a chance to win a free piece of Sporked merch! Fill out the form below by midnight on Nov. 1 and we’ll announce the final list on Monday, Nov. 4.
