In my day most of those listed didn't exist ... except M&Ms. My absolute favorite candy was Root Beer Barrels. I never had them except on Halloween!

During my trick-or-treat years, I always hoped for Butterfingers and Three Musketeers. Num num num.

Me? I was always partial to Hershey's Milk Chocolate. I would grab some bars or a handful of kisses and raid the refrigerator for cold milk to accompany my chocolate binge. Loved it. Mom would smile and shake her head.

I'm assuming the M&Ms can be the peanut ones.

Now there's a blast from the past! I wonder if they're still around?

This time of year exclusively... candy corn mixed with peanuts... A long tradition in my house, always put out in candy dishes all over the house.

As to the rest, tarty stuff like sweettarts or skittles... Jellys to a lesser degree... chocolate is fine. Nougat and nuts... But I am without a doubt a caramel guy.

Brach's Milkmaids or Royals are probably my all time favorite. I can eat em by the pound.

In the freezer for just a minute or two... crisp chocolate, warm peanut butter... with strong coffee. Excellent!

NOPE. There's something off in the ratio/size in comparison to candy corn. I like candy corn. All them candy pumpkins are for is throwing at people.

If you're a Pittsburgher, you'll also want some Clark bars and Zagnuts.

I knew the infamous Michael Carlow who once owned a Clark Candy and Iron City Brewery.

In that vein... Good and Plenty. Every now and then I run across them, and I will always buy.

I am a black licorice fiend.

My kid eats his weight in these:

Ends up with sugar burns all over the roof of his mouth, but whatever. He can't eat the majority of what you find in trick-or-treat bags due to a peanut allergy, and it seems like almost everything is 'made in a facility which also processes peanuts' these days. I'll support his Smarties habit; it's cheaper than an Epi-pen.

We used to get them and caramel apples...our neighbors across the street used to make the apples, they always had a line waiting for them....

I can happily eat my way into a sugar coma on Smarties... And I have tore up the roof of my mouth with em too... Though nowhere near as bad as Capn' Crunch.
