(NEXSTAR) — Is there a trick or treat goodie that makes you say “boo”? We all have our likes and dislikes when it comes to sweets — but according to data from CandyStore.com, an online wholesale and bulk candy retailer, some are more likely to get “yucks” than “yums.”
To rank its “worsts,” CandyStore surveyed over 15,000 customers and combined that with 12 other “best” and “worst” Halloween candy lists from outlets like Buzzfeed, Business Insider and Bon Appétit.
Here’s the 2022 list.
| Ranking | Candy |
| 10. | Good & Plenty |
| 9. | Black licorice |
| 8. | Tootsie Rolls |
| 7. | Mary Jane |
| 6. | Smarties |
| 5. | Wax cola bottles |
| 4. | Necco Wafers |
| 3. | Peanut Butter Kisses |
| 2. | Candy corn |
| 1. | Circus peanuts |
CandyStore explains Circus Peanuts have previously been no. 1 on its “worst” list and were in second place last year.
In case you’re wondering, CandyStore didn’t reserve all its research to finding the candy people love to hate. The site also named its 10 Best Halloween Candies, with one major winner reigning supreme for another year: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
“This is the perennial blowout of the century,” CandyStore writes.
It’s important to note, likes and dislikes are subjective. All candy has someone who likes it. Enjoy your favorites this Halloween!
