If you haven't bought Halloween candy yet, there are TWO THINGS you should know: One: It might cost more than it has in the past. And Two: Do NOT be tempted to buy terrible candy that may be on sale.
Not so great treats
The people at CandyStore.com have released their annual list of the WORST Halloween candies, which is voted on by more than 15,000 of their customers. Here they are, so you know what NOT to buy . . .
And here are the new Top 10 Worst Halloween Candies 2022
10. Good & Plenty. Down one spot from #9 last year. They're pretty much licorice, so it makes sense that they're back-to-back.
9. Black Licorice. Up one spot from #10 last year.
8. Tootsie Rolls. Also #8 last year. This is for both regular Tootsie Rolls, and those flavored ones, which may be more or less appealing?
7. Mary Janes. Also #7 last year. If you're not familiar . . . they're a chewy peanut butter and molasses taffy-type candy.
6. Smarties. Down two spots from #4 last year. They would be #2 on that list of the CHALKIEST candies.
5. Wax Coke Bottles. Up one spot from #6 last year. Yes, they still exist.
4. Necco Wafers. Up one spot from #5 last year. They would be #1 if there was a list of the CHALKIEST candies.
3. Peanut Butter Kisses. Also #3 last year. Despite the name, they're neither Reese's Peanut Butter Cups nor Hershey's Kisses-level Halloween candy.
2. Candy Corn. Last year's #1.
1. Circus Peanuts. They've overtaken Candy Corn as the #1 worst this year, even though it's hard to imagine anyone actually handing out Circus Peanuts.
