    Don’t really get much around my way (rural England), and whilst I’m not a huge sweet fan (except chocolate obvs) I LOVE coconut mushrooms and fizzy cola bottles 😀

    Ok, not to hijack, but we're all basically listing candy you can get anytime.

    How about favorite halloween themed candy? Which, of course, includes candy you can buy anytime...just shaped like a pumpkin or ghost or whatever? :)

    good point!

    IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR!


    BUTTERFINGER!!!! (OLD FORMULA) So sad. I have been craving original formula butterfingers for the past year. I wish they'd bring them back. The new ones are just not as good.

    I really like chick o sticks now because they taste like the inside of the old formula butterfinger.
    I just bought a chick o stick from my friendly, neighborhood convenience store and...are they supposed to be this hard?!

    Good taste, tho. :)

    Might be old. The fresh ones I bought from amazon were flaky and only slightly harder than the inside of a butter finger.

    LOL I usually look at expiration dates before buying any food. This says Dec 2020 so close. And I know I have a hard time chewing these days but *breaks off another piece*...yeah....really hard. :) Hard to suck the shell off too.

    (Shut up, boys! I heard it!) :)

    I like candy corn. A lot. I used to like Mary Janes, tootsie rolls and Good n Plenties too. I'm sure they're to blame for all the cavities in my head before sealants were a thing. The rest you can keep.

    Does anyone remember the wax lips? (Not candy just a Halloween treat.) My sister and I loved finding those in our bags when we were kids. And of course the wax bottles with the sugar liquid in it. Fun!

    I loved Bottle Caps but here is yer another candy that changed it’s recipe at some point, so they are only so-so.

    For Halloween chocolate I would say Almond Joy, Snickers, or 100 Grand. I like candy corn in limited quantities.

    I haven’t seen mentioned... Pixy Sticks - my kids love them. Flavored Tootsie Rolls - my sister loves these year round, but you always end up with some when trick-or-treating. 😝

    Caramel apple suckers. I could eat a bag. Which is why I won't buy them.

    I love licorice if its super soft. I am not a candy person now except dark chocolate- but when I did it didn't care for wax bottles and Mary Jane, Almond joy, snickers, any chocolate with nuts, white chocolate
    Smarties were soso, kinda like circus peanuts, some candy corn.
    My favorites were Heath, Crispy crunch bars, any solid chocolate and I loved Zero bars- butterfingers were good and Grand bars

    If you like salt water taffy they make a caramel apple that is spot on. My work treat is a couple of taffies since candy wise they're low cal.
