Let’s not beat around the bush about this, because this is serious business. Please DO NOT give me my kids any of the following Halloween candy this year:
Good & Plenty – The worst of the worst. ‘Nuff said.
Necco Wafers – Clinically designed to break your teeth.
Now and Laters - Or as I call them, “Never. Ever.”
Peanut Butter Kisses – An abomination of candy and peanut butter.
Almond Joy and Mounds – Coconut. Ew.
3 Musketeers - Look at that whipped center. It’s creepy and unnatural.
I hate it when I am forced to sneak all the good stuff (Butterfingers, Reese’s PB Cups, Snickers, Kit Kats, Dum Dums), leaving my kids with the weird hamburger shaped gummy candy at the bottom of their buckets. If they got only the good stuff from you, neighbors*, there would be plenty to go around.
*My next door neighbor is totally exempt from this post. She hands out full size chocolate bars. I love her.
What’s your least favorite candy? I googled this, and the overwhelming majority seems to think that candy corn is the worst. Which can only mean that people have completely lost their minds. Candy corn (the first handful, anyway) is delicious. Indian corn, on the other hand, is just plain gross.

Candy corn and candy pumpkins: terrible.

I love those Necco wafers, especially the chocolate ones. We used to pretend they were communion wafers.

Well, I suppose next to Communion wafers, even Necco wafers could taste good. I doubt it, though.

Who are these people who don’t like candy corn? That’s like not liking Reese’s cups!

Oh yes, I agree (except with the Almond Joy). Those peanut butter kisses are like tar.

Don’t you remember this jingle?
“Almond joy’s got coconuts … Mounds don’t”
But you’re right — they’re both horrendous. I had a Clark Bar in Three Lakes last year — God, it was awful.

Chris – Almond Joy’s got NUTS, Mounds don’t. Clearly I watched more tv than you. Both have coconuts. Blech.

I woke up in the middle of last night remembering that it was “nuts,” not “coconut.” I guess I really, really just wanted Mounds not to have coconut. Alas.

I refuse to believe Good and Plenty fall under the heading of CANDY. Maybe candy for the elderly…no, not even for the elderly.

[...] I hope everyone has a fantastic, warm and sunny Halloween filled with only the best candy (i.e. no Good n Plenty!) [...]
