I know the costumes usually get the most attention during Halloween. If you ask me though, I think we need to shine the spotlight on candy a bit more. Isn't that the real reason everyone gets dressed up—so they can score free chocolate and gummies? Of course it is.

Before you start shopping for the goodies, be careful because there are a lot of nasty treats out there. You know the Halloween candy that taste like medicine and gets thrown away a few months later. I don't know how some of those brands are still in business. But they won't trick us this year. Below I've gathered the best Halloween candy and ranked them in order of superiority according to moi (don't @ me). Make sure you stock up early so you don't miss out.
