Because that was always what you ended up with when they Traded with you. My Favorite Halloween Candy is Smarties, What Is Yours?

As a kid I always liked the Palmer peanut butter chocolates with the Halloween print foil on it. I've always thought they were cute and festive.

When I was a kid I liked getting Atkinson's peanut butter bars and chik-o-sticks because of the taste and because they weren't a candy I would get often. As an adult my favorites are the two already mentioned and reese pumpkins because they are the perfect chocolate to peanut butter ratio imo.

My favorites were those liquids in wax bottles. Not for taste, just because they were fun and unusual.

I liked SweeTarts and Bottle Caps...and something called...what was it called. White Cow? Black Cow? It was one of those caramel/taffy things on a stick. Haven't seen one in a million years...

$100,000 and Nestle Crunch bars.

Reeses pumpkins (or just regular Reeses cups). I also likes getting those strawberry candies with the hard shells and chewy centers.

I'm an only child so I never had to trade anything. I also grew up in a time when you would get things like popcorn balls & homemade treats & thought nothing of it. So I can't say I have a favourite Halloween candy though I do like Brachs candy corn & pumpkins.

I hated those peanut butter taffy things wrapped in black and orange paper...................until I tried them. Then it was "wow, those black and orange things!"

Rockets and Reese's cups

I love those horrifying peanut butter things in alternating black or orange wrappers. The ones everyone else hates, LOL! I think they remind me of my childhood?

Also "Dots" (those gummy-like things), probably for the same reason.

Other than those, it's chocolate, chocolate, chocolate all the way for me. PB cups, Snickers, Milky Ways, Hershey minis and so on.

My sister and I never traded because we liked all the same stuff. And we'd both get down to that point some time around Christmas where there were only the "yucky" candies left but we'd eventually pretty much eat those too, albeit more slowly (i.e. only one candy once in a blue moon).

^Ha! And I thought I was the only one to admit I love the black and orange peanut butter taffy things! Although I do have a rather serious peanut butter addiction to start with so anything remotely peanut butter flavored is fine by me. I remember getting a peanut butter flavored hard crunchy candy as a kid and I have a clue what they were called but I would so love to find them today! They were small rectangle shaped, white with brown stripes on the outside and the inside was kind of like a butterfinger or clark bar. My grandfather used to buy them for me when I would visit and they were my favorite Halloween treat as well. I miss them!

 

[MorganaMourning]

Madame Leota, I remember those candies too. they were great!!! I haven't thought of them in a long time. Any one know the name? I'd like to see if I can find some.

Three words : Peanut butter whatever!

 

[UnOrthodOx]

My favorites were always the little boxes of lemon heads and red hots. Hardly ever even see them in stores now.
