These candy’s are not dandies!

If you haven’t bought Halloween candy yet, there are TWO THINGS you should know: One: It might cost more than it has in the past. And Two: Do NOT be tempted to buy terrible candy that may be on sale.

Not so great treats

The people at CandyStore.com have released their annual list of the WORST Halloween candies, which is voted on by more than 15,000 of their customers. Here they are, so you know what NOT to buy . . .

And here are the new Top 10 Worst Halloween Candies 2022

• 10. Good & Plenty. Down one spot from #9 last year. They're pretty much licorice, so it makes sense that they're back-to-back.

  No Title

  No Description

• 9. Black Licorice. Up one spot from #10 last year.

• 8. Tootsie Rolls. Also #8 last year. This is for both regular Tootsie Rolls, and those flavored ones, which may be more or less appealing?

• 3. Peanut Butter Kisses. Also #3 last year. Despite the name, they're neither Reese's Peanut Butter Cups nor Hershey's Kisses-level Halloween candy.

• 1. Circus Peanuts. They've overtaken Candy Corn as the #1 worst this year, even though it's hard to imagine anyone actually handing out Circus Peanuts.
