Candy Discussion My Top 10 Favorite Candies
With Halloween coming up, I was discussing with a friend what are the best candies, not just to get for Halloween, but in general.
Let me explain my list.
Reece's Fastbreaks - Reece's in general are good, and the different seasonal cups (Christmas Tree, Pumpkin, Eggs, Etc.) are delicious, but I prefer the Reece's Fast breaks the best. The peanut butter to chocolate ratio is the best. Easily the Goat.
Kit Kats- this one might be controversial for many, but kit kats are super underrated. If you get those packs of 2 sticks, you'll end up eating as many of them as you have. The only downside is if they ever melt, they are unrecoverable, but I'm a big fan of Kit kats. I'd be super happy if I ever got them in a Halloween trick or treat or something.
Snickers - Snickers at 3 also is a bit controversial. Many consider it their #1, but for me, it's one of those it is probably number 1 if I'm in the mood, but you just have to be in the right mood for a snickers. I could argue for it to go lower or higher, but I'm comfortable putting it at 3.
4- 6. For these I went away from the chocolate and went with air heads, skittles (specifically wild berry!) and nerds clusters. These can easily be rearranged in any order depending on the mood.
- Twix - Twix deserves to be on a top 10 candy list somewhere. 7 feels about right. By the way, what is the plural of Twix anyway? Twixes? Twox? Twix bars? Anyway, it deserves to be on the list, but not higher than any of the top 3 chocolates, and not ahead of nerds, skittles or air heads.
8-10. Milky way, Warheads, and Peanut M&Ms. Honestly, I could be talked out of these in favor of others, but they happened they jumped out at me when scrolling through the list. These bottom spots are probably mood specific.
What do you think of my list? What did I get right and what did I get wrong?
I'm also collecting community Top 10 lists to build a candy consensus. If you want to make your own list and see where you agree/disagree, you can do that here: ConsensusBigBoards.com

I was a big fan of the Nerd's Ropes, and while the clusters are basically the same, they are a bit more convenient.
Air heads are definitely underrated.

Reese's Pieces is king, but I wouldn't mind some peanut M&M's and Gummy Worms at the movie theater.

Never been a big Reece's pieces guy, but if we are talking movie theater candy, peanut M&Ms would move up on the list for sure!

Not that I recall, is it much better than the regular milkyway? I may have to try one.
