With Halloween just around the corner, kids and teens alike are looking forward to trick-or-treating. But while expectations for candy may be high, there are some candy options that just aren’t good. Read on to see our candy ranking for this year’s Halloween!

S Tier

Reese’s Pieces: Reese’s Pieces are one of the most consistent candies on Earth. They’re timeless and never off-putting or melted. There’s a good amount in each bag, and they’re perfect for when you’re craving something a little sweet and salty.

Candy Corn: Although controversial, candy corn is always dependable and something you’ll find at every Halloween party. Whether you like it or not, it’ll always have the same texture and flavor. Ignoring the taste, candy corn is just plain adorable! As a kernel or a pumpkin shape, it’ll always brighten your day when you see it. 

A Tier

Peanut M&M’s: Peanut M&M’s are probably one of the most overhated types of M&M, but they’re also one of the most unique. A drawback for this candy is that every once and awhile, you’ll eat a peanut M&M that tastes spoiled or just different, but you’ll forget all about it when you eat the next one. 

Whoppers

Whoppers have a very interesting texture and have a very distinct shelf life. While being very controversial, they’re always crispy and have a good layer of chocolate on the outside. The one major drawback to Whoppers is that once they go stale, there’s no chance of salvation (and they go stale pretty quickly).

B Tier

Nerds Boxes: Nerds boxes are good, but it seems like there are never enough Nerds in a box. By the time I finish one, I already feel the need to have another. Another negative aspect of Nerds boxes is that they’re almost impossible to eat. The box is too small to put your fingers in, and pouring them out results in mass spillage. Even though the Nerds themselves are great, the packaging means that you have to go through an ordeal in order to be able to eat a small amount. 

Blow Pops: Blow Pops are another classic childhood candy, but the only good part of the candy is the actual lollipop. The gum only holds its flavor for about five minutes, and then goes tasteless and hard. The first ten minutes of eating a Blow Pop are fine, but after that, it’s not a pleasant experience. 

C Tier

Dots: Dots are one of the sweetest candies out there, but that’s not necessarily a good thing. In every box of Dots, you get about four pieces, and they’re the most likely to break open and spill everywhere in your bag. Even if you do like Dots, there’s not enough per box to satisfy your needs and cravings.

Hershey’s Chocolate Bar: Hershey’s is the most average chocolate bar in the world. This candy isn’t necessarily good or bad, the only feeling you have when you see it in your candy bag is contentness in the fact that you got candy. Hershey’s are really only good for s’mores, and even then, Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are infinitely better.

F Tier

An Apple: Anyone who hands out fruit on Halloween is either a health nut or hates children, neither of which are things you want to be on a holiday which is all about giving kids candy. When you go trick-or-treating, you always expect to go home with something sweet to eat the next day, and an apple will just leave you disappointed.

Gummy Eyeballs: Gummy eyeballs are just plain gross. Anyone who likes them must have lost their taste buds or is just insane. The people who give out gummy eyeballs have to be plain evil because there’s not a person on earth who enjoys them!
