What candy did you most hope to get while trick-or-treating as a kid? Do you still love that candy?
(and how awesome is it that we can just buy what we want, now?!)
Mine was definitely Dots, and still is.
We would go trick-or-treating in my mom’s mom’s hood, and get a ton of candy. Afterward my three siblings and I would lay it all out by type of candy and do some trading. My candy lasted me two or three days at best. Yes. I’ve had compulsion/delayed satisfaction issues since childhood.
Cherry jolly ranchers, cherry laughy taffy, Heath bears. I haven’t had any of them in a loooooong time 🙂
Smarties OR Reeses Peanut Butter Cups. I don’t buy anymore since we are out TorT’ing ourselves but when I did I would buy dum dum’s because I wouldn’t eat them. LOL.
Dots are awesome! On Wednesday I saw a guy on the redline with a jumbo size box of Dots and a 20oz Arizona Tea. I wanted that meal too but had no money and would have been sick. Haha :)Reeses are my all time favorite!
I see those amazing kitkats in the pic!! lol
I actually think just as today, I was happy with ANY Type of chocolate – as long as it’s not dark chocolate.
I remember we’d fill a huge pillow case of candy when we went out!
Probably mini Snickers bars? I hated those nasty peanut butter things in the black and orange wrappers.
Did ANYONE like those?!
There was a trusted old lady on my street who always made homemade popcorn balls. They were always the highlight of trick-or-treating. Looking back I’m not exactly sure why… I think it was just the allure of homemade goodies. Either that or I used to like such things.
As for regular candy, I always went for the chocolate! Snickers and Reeses making the top of the list.
Reeses peanut butter cups. Hands down. No contest. And yes, I still love them!
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. I always make sure I have lots of these in the candy bowl for the trick-or-treaters. They are usually the ones to be gone first on Halloween.
Ohhh…i love that you have mini sour patch kids in your hands! I never had those as a kid, but they are definitely one of my favs now!! Oh and I always liked to have extra reeses on hand, in case there was any extra.
I do not remember what candy I liked as a kid … but I can tell you what I like now! Take 5 bars. Chocolate + PB + Caramel + Pretzels + Peanuts. All in one. Does it get any better? There’s gotta be some recipe on some blog somewhere for homemade Take 5 bars.
For some reason, this made me think to ask if you have tried the honey pretzel LUNA bars? Not the same as a Take 5, but love the salty/sweet combo 🙂
I haven’t but I’ll keep an eye out for them!
I kind of wish I couldn’t (totally wrote wouldn’t first, and prob too true) buy it now.
Kit Kat and Reese’s peanut butter cups! Anything chocolate, really. I think my brother and I may have done a little trading, but I don’t remember what he likes/dislikes any more. I do know that we both tried to hide our candy before my dad could eat all of our Snickers.
Chocolate. Any chocolate. Especially crunchy chocolate, such as chocolate with almonds in it, Crunch bars, and Kit Kats. But in the end I’m really an equal-opportunity chocolate eater!
I was a weird kid and have always liked coconut, so Mounds and Almond Joy still remain my favorite candy.
