Whether you're partaking in Halloween festivities or just taking your young one out for a night of sugar bliss, the right candy is an absolute necessity. Besides, your kid may not let you anywhere near his or her candy, but you can always stock up and enjoy some leftovers.
If you have the right candy for the little monsters, you could be the talk of the neighborhood. But if you're the one to give out apples or floss, those unsatisfied customers could come back to get you with toilet paper.
Giving king size candy bars isn't exactly expected, but when a child receives one it may as well be Christmas morning. However, the demons will still be happy with a handful of sweets that'll give their dentists a heart attack. This list will provide the top 10 candies to keep the kids happy and on a sugar rush for their big night.
10) Tootsie Pops
No one can deny the irresistibility of a tootsie pop. These supreme suckers not only give you a sweet sugar rush, but you also get that tasty chocolate in the middle. The kids love to see just how many licks it takes to get to the center.
9) Gummy Bears
When I was a kid, getting gummy bears was a rarity. But when I was lucky enough it was truly a gift from the candy gods. Gummy bears relieve you from the chocolate stresses of your candy bag and give you a pleasant sugar buzz.
8) Snickers
Whether it be fun size or king size, you can't go wrong with a sweet, salty, crunchy snickers bar. Kids love them and adults do too. Their motto is right—Snickers truly does satisfy.
7) Pretzels
Hear me out now—I know these aren't candy, but having one or two bags of these is like an aspirin to a headache. It cures your rot gut after all the sweet candy; one bag and you're ready for more chocolate.
6) Runts
Now I'm sure if these little baggies even still make it out to kids buckets (I'm sounding old) but when they did it put my head in pure sugar bliss. Probably because of the pure hardened sugar.
5) Candy Corn
Of course! Seems necessary on every Halloween list, right? Candy Corn seems to be the greatest way to know the last day of October is right on the horizon.
4) Tootsie Roll
The good-looking cousin of the tootsie pop, these little soft chocolates come in a slew of different flavors and are literally littered in the bottom of kids bags. The blue ones are the best.
3) Sour Carmel Apple Suckers
Amazing is the best word to describe these delicate suckers. Switching sides from sour apple to sweet caramel in your mouth is probably the closest we get to tasting heaven.
2) Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
These next two are a bit of a cheat, but really they're both as different from each other as they are marvelous. The full size peanut butter cup in individual packages are genius! You just grab a handful of those and you are good to go, my friend.
1) Mini Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
Now you get what I'm saying. These minis were truly a revelation. You get so much from small handful—so much chocolate and peanut butter—that the stomach aches are worth indulging on these addicting little suckers.
