George Souto hi George... I do know that Butterfingers is on the top of several state lists if not the national list. I have some Junior Mint minis in my house... should I send them to you?

Lottie Kendall hi Lottie... I think the candy corn is an either you love it or you hate it candy. We had my sister-in-law from Holland visiting with her grands this summer and those little Dutch kids were mad for candy corn. I can take it or leave it myself.

Ron and Alexandra Seigel hi Alexandra... M&M's have always been a favorite... no wonder they've been around forever. As a kid I loved Reece's peanut butter cups... but not so much anymore... they changed to formula to include less "real" chocolate and more cocoa powder and it just taste the same. I still love Good & Plenty because I love licorice but can't remember the last time I allowed myself any.

Scott Godzyk hi Scott... as far as I'm concerned sour candy defeats the purpose of candy! As for candy corn... I can take it or leave it... don't go out of my way to buy it, but if it's in front of me I'll eat a few pieces.

Debb Janes EcoBroker and Bernie Stea JD hi Debb... we never saw trick or treaters in NYC, either. But in my neighborhood in Charlotte we have tons of kids coming to trick or treat and I love seeing the little ones in their costumes. They are all so cute and so excited to get the goodies.

As for candy corn... I'm not surprised it made both lists... it seems to be one of those candies that you either love or hate.

Dark chocolate will continue to be a favorite at our house.

Roy Kelley hi Roy.... I live in a "house divided," as I prefer dark chocolate and my husband will eat only milk chocolate! As a chocoholic, I eat both.

Hi Nina Hollander, this is my second year in the area I live in, I didn't get trick or treaters last year so I'm not going to indulge in candy buying. I don't even know how most of these candies taste like, some of them, I've never seen.

Beth Atalay hi Beth... unfortunately, I have no choice but to "indulge" in candy buying....hordes of trick or treaters in my neighborhood. Having worked for Mars, I know all those candies... but can't say I've actually tasted all of them

Nina, can't believe Tootsie Rolls are on the bad list. I don't eat much candy, and really HATE candy corn.

Hi Nina- I loved reading the lists!!! I like Peanut M&Ms and Reese's peanut butter cups but only the regular sized ones. And, I love to have a few candy corn around Halloween just because it's Halloween.

James Dray hi James... based on the polling of thousands of people, it appears there's a big group who love candy corn and a big group who hate it... I've seen people argue over the candy corn issue.

Bob Ratliff good morning, Bob... I live peanut butter cups, as well... hard to resist. As for candy corn I don't mind a taste here and there... but you're right... it's all sugar so I stay away from it.
