What we’re eating: Eight new Halloween candies to enjoy this year


On Halloween, candy is crucial. It’s right up there with repeat viewings of Hocus Pocus and The Addams Family. This year, we’ve tried out eight of the best new candies available on the market, sure to keep you and your trick-or-treaters happy … and full of sugar.

Skittles Cauldron
These sweet little babies add to the holiday fun with flavor names like “Lurking Lemon,” “Petrified Pear” and “Twisted Tangerine.” Plus, you can’t really go wrong with Skittles. Kids. Love. Skittles.

Same great milk chocolate taste, but this time, with blood. Fake blood in the form of spooky red nougat, of course. Grab the fun size and go to Halloweentown. 

Twizzlers Caramel Apple
Whether you’re a licorice fan or not, it’s undeniable that these green apple-flavored, caramel-filled twists are pretty cute, and a hit with the youngins. 

KitKat Triple Chocolate
I know what you’re thinking—these are just average KitKat bars with orange bats on the packaging. Well, in the words of Donald Trump, wrong! It’s triple that delicious milk chocolate creme with crisp chocolate wafers. What could be better than triple the chocolate AND cute bats? 

halloweencandy6Hershey’s Caramel Apple
Milk chocolate filled with caramel in the shape of adorable little apples. Enough said. 

M&M’s White Candy Corn
No candy list is complete without M&M’s and these combine white chocolate and candy corn to create a flavor that encompasses the spirit of Halloween. Gross-sounding, but actually kind of great. 

halloweencandy4Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups Skull
Peanut butter? Check. Milk chocolate? Check. Shaped like a big skull in what might be the most perfect-looking Halloween candy yet? Check. As the package says, it’s “smooth and crunchy” (just like your skull!) and awesome for the candy bowl. Flawless execution, Butterfinger. 

Hot Tamales Cinnamon Apple
Hot Tamales are an old favorite, but this time with fall flavors. Enjoy them in spicy cinnamon and green apple. 


And thus, here lies the end of this Halloween candy list. Go forth and perish. Love the candy here? Hate the candy here? Have a favorite new Halloween candy of your own? Tell us in the comments.
