The Top Five Halloween Candies, According to 10 Experts
Halloween is three weeks away . . . so it’s not too early to be thinking about CANDY. (I said THINKING. It’s probably too early to BUY it . . . unless you can magically prevent it from being eaten too soon.)
There are a lot of opinions on the best Halloween candies . . . so someone compiled rankings from 10 different experts, and used them to create one master list of the Top Five.
Here are the results:
1. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups . . . Many “candy experts” rank Reese’s high on their list for their perfect size and packaging.
2. Twix . . . As texture goes, Twix bars hit the right note every time: Never too dry, never too chewy, and never too creamy.
3. Sour Patch Kids . . . First they’re sour, then they’re sweet . . . and there’s a palatable chewiness, but they won’t get stuck in your teeth.
4. Snickers . . . It’s easily the heartiest of all candy bars: Nougat, caramel, nuts, and chocolate represent pretty much every “candy” food group.
5. Starburst . . . Sweet, chewy, and just the right size . . . but some colors are better than others. Experts love Pink, but Starburst wouldn’t make this list if it was just a pack full of Orange ones.
(The “experts” they used were writers AND readers from sources like: Delish, the “Washington Post”, the “New York Times”, the “L.A. Times”, Thrillist, and Pioneer Woman.)
