With Halloween right around the corner, candy brands are coming out with different Halloween-themed candies. We picked some of the most interesting to rank as the best of the best. 

  • Reese Pumpkins

These are a treat every kid looks forward to getting on Halloween. Everything you love about a reese cup, the delicious peanut butter filling surrounded by chocolate, just in the shape of a pumpkin. Nothing screams Halloween more than these.

  • Spooky Nerds Clusters

Everything you probably love about the regular nerds clusters, except a little bit on the spooky twist, this is just a halloween themed color wave. These are a classic that many people enjoy, especially around Halloween. 

  • Sour Patch Zombies

All of the good parts of a sour patch kid with a spooky scary twist with new zombie faces They have all of the things you love from that delicious sour dust to all the different flavors.

  • Oreo Boo!

These aren’t your regular oreos, they are spooky in the sense that they are orange. They’re the normal Oreos just with orange creme on the inside and fancy little designs on the top. 

  • Kit Kat Witches Brew

These are NOT your typical Kit Kats, they are green. Packed with a marshmallow filling, these Kit Kats are unique and delicious. If you have not tried these out, get a bag this Halloween season. 

  • Cookies and Scream M&M’s 

If you like Oreos, and you like M&M’s, you have struck gold with these. They are the M&M’s you love with that iconic Oreo flavor. These were released first in 2017, and are now making their first return since. 

  • Twix Ghoulish Green 

The classic Twix flavor and crunch, with an unexpected green surprise upon the initial bite. This is an eerie spin on a classic Halloween candy that we think many kids will love to get trick or treating this year. 

  • Candy Corn

These are mediocre. After your first handful, you are over them, cause they just aren’t that good. There is also a little bit of obligation to eat them at least once a year as the holliday rolls around.

Geneva Snider and Fisher Newhall also went around asking students what their favorite Halloween candies are. Students Favorite Halloween Candy
