As Halloween comes to a close, kids are diving into their candy buckets to see what candy they’ve gotten. However, there’s always been some dispute on what candy is best to receive, and what candy is just plain awful. It’s time to settle this argument once and for all, with the ultimate Halloween candy tier list.
F tier: If anything in this list is genuinely your favorite candy to receive on Halloween, you need to get your taste buds checked. Anything to do with black licorice is just disgusting, you should not consider yourself a candy lover if you like black licorice. The same goes for Hershey’s Cookies & Cream. There is just no possible way anybody likes it, if you do you’re just wrong.
D tier: The candies in this list are somewhat okay, but still terrible. If you enjoy eating any mint flavored candy, you are just not real. If you’re choosing a candy to eat and you choose mints, you’re basically choosing toothpaste as your treat; it’s just disgusting.
C tier: Every candy in this tier is something that I would eat and enjoy, but it’s not a first choice by any means. The candies in the upper C tier, Now & Laters and Baby Ruths, are solid choices when it comes to candy. While the candies in the lower C tier are just mediocre.
B tier: If you find your favorite candy in this tier, congratulations, you have a somewhat decent taste. A lot of the candy in this tier and above are more of the popular sweets, such as Sour Patch Kids, Nerds and Fun Dip. All of these candies are great to receive on Halloween and do not disappoint.
A tier: All candies in this category are very great choices. A lot of notable candies are in this category, such as Skittles, Twix, Reeses and Starbursts. If you see your favorite candy in here, then you have phenomenal taste. While these candies aren’t the best, they are definitely a close second choice.
S tier: The best candies out there, no objections. Whatever is in those strawberry-wrapped candies is so good, it’s not possible to describe how perfect they are. Mr. Goodbars and KitKats are the perfect go-to chocolate choices, while 100 Grand’s and Snickers are the best options when looking for a chewy caramel option. There’s just no other better choice than these candies.

This has gotta be the worst take of all time. I feel offended that people refer to mint candy as toothpaste flavored when it’s the opposite way around. Using “it tastes like toothpaste” as the only reason you don’t like mint flavored things makes me feel as if I can’t trust you with anything. Saying it tastes like toothpaste when bubblegum is also a big flavor in toothpaste and putting bubblegum in High B is very contradictory. You can not like mint, that’s okay and I respect that but referring it as “toothpaste flavored” and putting it so low for that fact alone while putting bubblegum high up makes it clearly obvious you just don’t like mint so until you can give me a good reason to put mint candy that low your opinion on that fact is invalid. I also feel disrespected and appalled that we have put milk duds AND tootsie rolls above such amazing, well rounded, and incredible candies such as Skittles, and Sour Patch Kids. Overall some good takes but putting mint low due to similarity to toothpaste is childish and silly, milk duds and tootsie rolls are not nearly as low as they should be. You are also missing Sweetarts, a top tier Halloween candy.

As an Almond Joy fan, I’m offended /s. I agree wholeheartedly with everything else though
