Halloween is one of our favorite holidays at EVOLUTION Nutrition! Check out the top rated Halloween candies by consumers. Many of these are our dietitian’s favorites, too!
5. M&Ms. This classic candy has so many uses. You can bake with them, add them to trail mix, or simply enjoy them on their own.
4. Kit Kat. Fun Fact: There was a milk shortage in the US due to World War II. During that time, Kit Kats were made with dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.
3. Twix. There have been several variations of Twix over the years. The traditional biscuit and caramel covered in milk chocolate places in solid third place.
2. Snickers. These bars have a little something for everyone: peanuts, nougat, caramel, and milk chocolate.
1. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. The sweet/salty combination makes it a favorite among children and adults. Parents are excited to see this treat in their kids’ candy bucket. In many homes, this is the first candy to disappear.
