This day is usually the one that takes me out until January with my diet.
I love Reese's peanut butter cups.

Apparently they are the #1 Halloween candy.

Now there is a machine you can trade your unloved treats to get a Reese's

A town in North Carolina has a "playful" bans unpopular candy:

So what is your favorite, and what is the one you loath?

I love all the candy, but man, once I start, it's SO hard to stop. I'm going to try not to even start this year and tell my boys to keep their candy out of my sight. :giggle I think my favorite is milk duds though... i love caramel and chocolate together. yummy!
 
I don't eat candy anymore, but I used to love anything that had chocolate in it. My hubby is a candy freak and orders those Lindt Chocolate Truffles in bulk and has them delivered. :perfect
 
I think I might be an oddball. If I surround myself with all the candy, I will eat less. My mind plays tricks on me. I don't want to eat it all, and have to have some to share, so I surround myself with all of it! :giggle

At home we always have some chocolate in the house, always. My one son hardly eats a piece, and my other might have a lot one day, but by the next, he doesn't want any... or he brings it to school to share, lol!

Take 5, Twix, Milky Way... YUM!

This is per my kids too, lol!

NO WAY!!!! Love it! I also love Reese’s but they’re on my no-no list because of the peanut butter. I love chocolate but not so much candy. My DH LOVES root beer barrels, which I grab when I need a sugar fix. My fave chocolate these days is dark Icelandic chocolate. Yum! Thankfully my Whole Foods carries it in stock!
 
Frozen Reese's PB Cups are my fave. My kids fight me for them.
I also love York Peppermint Patties. My kids will gladly give me them.
 
I love the Ghiradelli Intense Dark Sea Salt Soiree squares--it's dark chocolate with sea salt and roasted almonds. Love the combination of dark chocolate and sea salt.
 
I used to love the caramel chews at Halloween time and tootsie rolls, along with the mini Kitkat bars. I gave up Halloween candy a few yrs ago and now I make sure I have a low carb paleo treat to have on Halloween night instead.
 
I love anything Reese's. Nom nom nom! I also love Skittles, but they weren't a fave when I was a kid. Oh, and Runts. Those are fun. I have apothecary jars filled with candy on a table in our family room. Why wait until Oct 31 to enjoy candy?

I love Reese cups (the mini ones especially) and I love them soft. I also love Zero bars and actually will microwave them for a few seconds to get them soft.

I hate coconut and no gummy worm/licorice items.
 
I was SO good about staying away from the candy for about 3 years but man, this year I have slid all the way down that slippery slope! Tonight I grabbed an Almond Joy, 1000 Grand, and a Milky Way from my daughter's Halloween haul. Oh...and a Snickers I put in the freezer that is waiting for me. I'm with @AnneofAlamo - I'm not really safe now until January.

We did not have one single trick or treater, so I have a whole bowl of candy and I will be pulling out

Frozen Reese’s? Really! I’ve never heard of that. Does it make them last longer? Because they don’t last long otherwise if you know what I mean.
 
I'm kind of getting sick of candy. But it's an awfully slow transition, taking years. I'll see candy (or other treats) and my sweet tooth will say that looks good, probably remembering enjoying it so many times before. And it will taste good at first. But then it's less and less good the more I have. I've eaten about 5 little candies and a cupcake this evening and I feel overloaded with sugar.
 
I just ate half my weight in Reese's PB cups! My tummy hurts!
