The Only Halloween Candy That Matters (According to Santana Team)
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
Joanna | NERDS
Tiny, chaotic, and impossible to eat quietly. Pure joy.
Morgan | KitKats
Simple, reliable, and perfectly snappable.
Zack | Skittles
A sugar rainbow with zero regrets.
Liz | Peanut M&Ms
A little salty, a little sweet, and entirely superior.
Hudson | Snickers
A classic energy bar pretending to be candy. Power move.
Marco | KitKat
Agrees with Morgan. Strength in numbers.
Mike | 100 Grand
A bold choice. Nougat, caramel, and crisped rice are an underappreciated trio.
Victoria | Lollipops
For those who understand the art of delayed gratification.
Carlos | KitKats and Blow Pops
Double-fisted sugar diplomacy.
Katrina | Twix
Left or right. Both are elite.
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.
