M&M’s Jill…..especially the peanut ones. If I could eat those without worrying about sugar or calories, I would live off of them.

Actually, one of my favorite things ever is banana flavored Now and Laters. They will definitely rip your fillings out, but I love them!

Robbing from the little ones trick or treat bags is the parents rewards for taking them all over the neighborhood. Really, why else would parents do this

Banana flavored Laffy Taffy is one of my favorite ever. I’m not sure this relationship is going to work anymore.

In reply to Jill Kolongowski. No, no! Lemon is one of my favorite flavors!! It's when you eat a yellow candy thinking it'll be lemon but it turns out to be banana that it's terrible!

How can you even compare those crazy peanut things to a Werthers? One is stale and tastes like talcum powder. The other is a nice smooth, buttery treat. Though I don’t deny the old people connection.

All right people, those “dark chocolate Milky Ways” have a name. They are Milky Way Midnights, and when they show up in my kids treat-or-treat bags, they are MINE. (Anything dark chocolate just gets skimmed off the top when I do my inspection.)

And yes, circus peanuts are disgusting. Does anyone like them? (Maybe just old people who have big bowls of Werther’s Originals.)

I don’t understand Candy Corn either.

Mmmm, Dark Chocolate Milky Ways are awesome.

My list consists of pretty much anything chocolate, except those cheap chocolate coins or foil-wrapped chocolate balls/eggs with the awful flavored chocolate… Starburst and Skittles and Sour Patch Kids are pretty high on the list, too, despite their lack of chocolate. :)

I am disappointed, though. You mentioned candy corn, but you did not mention Circus Peanuts. Though, admittedly, I am not sure if they make these anymore… I swear they are made out of styrofoam, so maybe they finally did away with the awful things.
