Sierra Van Houten, Staff Writer

We all know what Halloween is truly about. It’s not just about hanging around with your friends or going around your hometown and collecting candy. Let’s face it: Halloween is about EATING the candy that was collected!

But which candy is the best one? Well, people all have their personal favorites. But is your favorite the number 1 on this list? Get your sweet tooth ready because this article is no tricks and all treats.

  1. Candy Corn – This is a candy either you love or hate. But even with mixed reviews, it came out on top for this list as it was the winner in multiple states across the country. No other candy came close to the number of people who love Candy Corn.
  2. Skittles – We all know what Skittles are. They are the colorful, fruit flavored, rainbow candy. So if you don’t want to eat that much chocolate this year, Skittles are a great choice that are not chocolate.
  3. Sour Patch Kids – Similar to the opinion on Skittles, Sour Patch Kids are another fan favorite. These are really good to counter-act all the chocolate that makes you feel super full. And as the saying goes “Sour, Sweet, Gone.”
  4. Twix – Now if you really want something that is chocolate, this is one of the classic chocolate bars to go for. This is a cookie covered in caramel, then drenched in chocolate. This has everything you need in a candy bar, and then some: depending on your candy taste.
  5. Kit Kats – Last but not least, is the iconic Kit Kat bar. It is a wafer covered in chocolate, and they’re very popular among people giving away candy to little kids. And even if it is not Halloween, you can find this candy bar in stores near you,  in a multitude of different flavors.

So there you have it: these are the top 5 Halloween candies of 2016. Whether you are going out this Halloween, or if you are staying in, just remember to be safe and enjoy your candy.
