I love the shirt, so fun! We try not to buy or eat a lot of Halloween candy, but I do love fun size M and M’s and Heath bars! Always a favorite of mine!

My favorite Halloween candy is dots! Thankfully no one else likes them in my family and I get them all!

My favorite is Dots… those little boxes of jujubes you get in a giant bag of Tootsie Rolls. I always buy Tootsie Rolls to give away and then steal all the Dots!

The cute pumpkin-shaped candy corn. They’re candy corn, but somehow so much better.

Great shirt! My favorite is PB Cups or Snickers. I’ll swing both ways! ;)

I’m like you. I love candy corn! However, last year my husband and I made homemade caramel apples, and now I’m hooked. That’s my all-time favorite now.
Thanks for hosting this giveaway! :)

I am thinking I am definitely a candy corn girl myself, though as of today, I have yet to buy any this year.
I have gotten pangs of nostalgia every time I go into a store and pass their display. I am trying to exercise self restraint, but after seeing blackberry cobbler and caramel apple flavored candy corn at Wal-Mart the other day…I might cave ;)
Comment by Samantha — October 28, 2009 #

I really like coffee crisp but recently I just ate about 80 mini ones (don’t ask!) so I think my new favourite is probably twizzlers.
I actually have never had candy corn. maybe this year.
Comment by Tori — October 28, 2009 #

Rockets!!! Although last year I had to make my boyfriend hide them from me or I’d eat a dozen packages without realizing it =/

That shirt’s fab! We don’t do much in the way of candy for halloween here (Oxford, England), but I love sherberts. Mum always used to make us drink black milk, which scared me silly!
Comment by Eleanor — October 28, 2009 #
30
cool shirt! definitely not so much halloween ‘candy’ in england but my guilty pleasure is those cheap and sickly chocolate eyeballs. The type of chocolate i wouldnt buy other than halloween…
i just read the previous comment and ive experienced green milk rather than black, maybe lots of mums do that!
Comment by Mikki — October 28, 2009 #

My favorite candy ever are Sweetarts Ropes; however, they appear to have been discontinued – think a cherry licorice tube filled with Sweetarts “Goo” with Nerds in it. It was heaven. Without those, I’ll have to go with Reese’s cups; I loved getting the big ones for Halloween!
Comment by Cara — October 28, 2009 #
32
Fun size candy bars: Snickers, Milky Way, Twix, Kit Kat. Their small size means I can eat a bunch of them and try all the flavors!
Comment by Dorothy — October 28, 2009 #
33
Reese cups! Especially now that they make dark chocolate! And I prefer the little foil-wrapped ones rather than the regular size…better ratio of chocolate to peanut butter. I also love kit kats!

No need to enter me into the contest… I just wanted to say Congratulations on buying your home. I know how tough it can be, so I wish you a process that leaves you smiling!

Candy Apples were always my favorite. Too bad they can’t be given out anymore :(
Comment by Nancy — October 28, 2009 #
36
Although I don’t have a blog, I have made your white chocolate Mocha cupcakes. They were very yummy, although I felt the flavor of the icing overpowered that of the cupcake.
Comment by Nancy — October 28, 2009 #
37
My favorite are the mini tootsie roll pops. Make anything mini, I’m sure to love it!
Comment by Catherine — October 28, 2009 #
38
First of all… I hate the word favorite! I’m too indecisive! I love pretty much everything except the chewy candy that comes in the black or orange wrappers.
And by the way… THE VERY DAY I finished the last of my caramel candy corn, I went into work (I was on an evening schedule that day) and WHADDYA KNOW someone had brought in a whole bag of it!!
Comment by Erin — October 28, 2009 #

Hey CB! We don’t celebrate Halloween here in India but I do love Snickers and Twizzlers and Oreos!! Specially twizzlers!!

My favourite halloween candy would be one that I cannot eat anymore – Smarties. Not the chalky kind, but the shell-coated chocolates found in Canada. Yum!!
Comment by Lauren — October 28, 2009 #

snickers are my fave! yummy!
this shirt is too cute!
Comment by Ashlee — October 28, 2009 #

Well I can tell you what I DONT like because that list is definitely shorter. I might have to go with Snickers as a top contender as it has the perfect sweet/salty for the halloween hangover!!

My favorite Halloween candies are the mini sized 3 Musketeers bars…or the single servings of Swedish Fish! Easy to hand out and even easier to eat tons of!

I love that t-shirt!! So cute! My favorite Halloween candy is Reese’s peanut butter cups. I don’t keep them around because I’d eat them all before Halloween got here :)

Dear lord I love me some fun size twix bars at Halloween! Come to think of it, anything in a mini-size works for me…snickers, nerds, hershey’s miniatures…I could go on and on!

Yay for international entries! I just love that shirt, so cute!
Unfortunately we don’t have specific Halloween candy (such as candy-corn) here in Israel :( , but we do all the regular stuff like Twix, M&M’s, Sneakers, etc. And I love peanut M&M’s so I’ll go for them as my pick :)
Comment by Alina — October 28, 2009 #

tootsie rolls! they’re cheap, and people pass out a lot of them, which is great for me!
Comment by Aileen — October 28, 2009 #
77
Hm, I think I have to give a cop-out, “I don’t eat candy” answer. Dude, why would I eat candy when I could be eating CUPCAKES?!?
But, if I were like, forced at gunpoint to eat candy, I suppose I’d choose M&M’s. Or peanut M&M’s…or Reese’s… Must…stop…thinking about candy…
Comment by bridget — October 28, 2009 #

As a kid, my favorite Halloween candy was always Snickers. Nowadays, I’m more of a Reeses Pieces and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups kinda gal. And peanut M&Ms. I guess I’m a sucker for chocolate+peanuts! :)
Comment by Suzi — October 28, 2009 #

I will pick out anything chocolate, but if I had to choose, I’d go with Reese’s PB Cups…

I’m a candy corn girl too! For some reason, I only notice it around Halloween and act like it is not available in the free world at any other time.

I’ll eat just about anything, but I think Snickers are my favorite!

Absolutely Candy Corn. It just goes hand in hand with Halloween. I love it!!!
Comment by scrapamum — October 28, 2009 #

Caramels! But only the individually wrapped ones. Something about taking the time to unwrap each one makes it better!
Comment by Dana — October 28, 2009 #
85
When I take treats from my kids bags it’s usually snickers. When it’s something I make myself, i LOVE caramel corn. I have the best recipe for caramel corn. Seriously. It’s like Pioneer Woman’s Chocolate Cake. I swear!
I would be happy to share if anyone wants it. =-)

I love candy corn too but I’m happy with anything that gets put in the treat bag!!! My daughter, Lilie (3), still isn’t old enough to eat ALL of her candy so I am happy to oblige :)

Although Halloween is not huge in here in Australia our kids still get dressed up & trick or treat our street. I wish that more people got into the spirit of it!
My favorite candy (we call them lollies) is probably rasberry bullets… very hard to find but oh so worth it! They are little bits of rasberry licorice covered in milk chocolates… mmmm yuumy! Other than that I am more of a chocolate girl myself ;)
Comment by Aimee — October 28, 2009 #

Hi – Halloween is not big here in Australia so this year will be my first dressing up. I am going to be Dorothy! I am a big lollie person. My favourite lollies are strawberries and cream or allens snakes. I am always intrigue by your guys candy corn. It looks interesting!

103
I know whenever I’d go trick-or-treating, I’d be rooting for a Reese cup or some Now and Laters, but those aren’t really Halloween candy. I tried some “gourmet” creme brulee flavored candy corn and it was pretty good, so I go with that!

I’m not sure if this is totally halloween CANDY and being that I live in Australia, not the US I’ve only ever had it once (boo hoo) when my old bosses wife made it for a bbq but PUMPKIN PIE! Oh how I loved thee.
All this talk about halloween and pumpkins and the memories of that pie made me hunt down a can of pumpkin puree in a specialty store just so I can make some pumpkin-pie cupcakes! Now that is some addiction.

I love Hershey’s miniatures… especially Mr. Goodbar and Krakle.
The Snickers minatures are too small. These Hershey’s can be eaten in two bites. More satisfying!
