Every October, the same debate rises from the dead. Chocolate or fruity? Classic or nostalgic? Fun-size or full-size (which is a lie; they are never fun enough). We asked the Santana Team to settle it: what is the only Halloween candy that actually matters?

Team Picks

Box of NERDS candy in bright colors
Joanna | NERDS
Tiny, chaotic, and impossible to eat quietly. Pure joy.
KitKat mini bars in red wrappers


Morgan | KitKats
Simple, reliable, and perfectly snappable.
Skittles fun-size packets in red wrappers

Zack | Skittles
A sugar rainbow with zero regrets.
Peanut M&Ms fun-size packets in yellow wrappers
Liz | Peanut M&Ms
A little salty, a little sweet, and entirely superior.
Mini Snickers bars in brown wrappers
Hudson | Snickers
A classic energy bar pretending to be candy. Power move.
KitKat minis stacked on a wooden surface

Marco | KitKat
Agrees with Morgan. Strength in numbers.
100 Grand fun-size bars in red wrappers
Mike | 100 Grand
A bold choice. Nougat, caramel, and crisped rice are an underappreciated trio.
Assorted lollipops in bright colors


Victoria | Lollipops
For those who understand the art of delayed gratification.
Assorted Blow Pops

Carlos | KitKats and Blow Pops
Double-fisted sugar diplomacy.
Twix fun-size bars with caramel showing

Katrina | Twix
Left or right. Both are elite.
Individually wrapped Reese’s peanut butter cups
Emily | Reese’s Cups
Peanut butter and chocolate. Civilization at its peak.

Worst Halloween Candies

Milk Duds, Whoppers, Payday, Smarties, and Good & Plenty. Somehow still in circulation, haunting candy bowls since the 1950s.
