I got Mike and Ikes if you got Reese's Peanutbutter Cups. Those are the trick-or-treat gold standard by which all else is measured.

A couple years ago I witnessed a fight between two kids over the last reese's cup so it's definitely those.

These are indeed like crack.

Also, I'm a big fan of anything gusher-adjacent. 7-11 used to have these "gummi fun bugs" that were basically gummi bugs with gusher, uh, juice inside them.

Nerd ropes were/are? awesome.
Nerds story time.

When I was a kid, maybe 8, I was eating a box of nerds on the floor. I dropped a nerd onto the carpet and grabbed what I thought was the nerd and ate it... It was a piece of cat litter and tasted terribly bitter.

I definitely cannot recommend doing a line of pixie stix like it's blow. Even as a middle schooler I knew it was a stupid idea and did it anyway

If they’re anything like the Smarties I find in Canada then they’re a lot like chocolate M&Ms only flatter, with different colors, and they come in a box

The best candy was brach's assorted mallowcremes.

This is a lie, it is actually not very good candy, but I loved it so much.

I'm using this tensing because I haven't seen it for the past few years. For the record not this one:

but rather this one, which they seem to have discontinued:

There’s also a similar nuts ‘n’ nougat bar that’s equally tasty: Pearson’s Nut Roll. Suggestive poopy name, great knockoff.

I get them at Ace Hardware when I go; two bars for a little over a dollar.

Zours were the sickest poo poo in existence and we didn't deserve them.

As a kid my mom bought me and my brother a box of Warheads from Costco and we ate the ENTIRE box (must've been like 5 bags of each flavor in the entire box) in like a week. My mouth was literally bleeding by the end and has never been the same to this day. My days of binging sugar flavored battery acid are over, but man I still raid the Sour Patch and lemonheads whenever I can get them.
