You decide: What’s the worst Halloween candy?

Everyone’s got a candy that they hate to find in their trick-or-treat haul.

For me I’m not a fan of the peanut butter Mary Jane candy (always wrapped in black and orange wax paper).

Take a look at our poll and vote for your least favorite Halloween candy. If yours isn’t listed, tell us in the comments which candy you despise the most.

Note: We didn’t include other horrors such as pencils, pennies, apples or other non-candy tricks in our poll. We figured those were far too horrifying.

I’m pretty sure the black and orange wrapped candies are Peanut Butter Kisses. Mary Janes are rectangular and come in yellow wrappers that say Mary Jane.

I love peanut butter kisses, even though I don’t like peanut butter… Blame my grandparents.

@Taste is an option.. Maybe before you bash another religion you should know how to properly address them. This is not needed here. This should be a fun forum. I am an Islamic supporter and am Christian, give me your bacon…I wouldn’t mind in the least!

I have to go with “Circus Peanuts”. Also, I wasn’t aware raisins and popcorn balls were candy

I despise all candies and foods that contain peanut products due to my son’s severe peanut allergy. It’s a very scary time of year for us to deal with because of the dangers he faces. We could lock him up in a bubble but what fun is that? We try to let him experience as much as any regular kid does.

I absolutely hate any lollipops or suckers. Give me the chocolate or peanut butter.

I never liked getting Dum-Dums because they were the sucker we got at the bank, the doctor, etc. In other words, they were an every day candy

We had a neighbor that would hand out a walnut with a Bible scripture taped to it. If it had been candy, kids might have read the scripture. The day after beggar’s night, their yard was filled with tossed walnuts and Bible scripture.

Bit-O-Honey and the peanut butter orange and black wrapped candies are the worst. I always traded them or gave them away to my brother or sister. Give me Tootsie Rolls any day of the week!

i think black licorice was the worst. it is worse for me because i am a type-1 diabetic (been one for 17 yrs.) so technically all candy is bad.

Black licoriche is the worst by far. Not fond of the folks and their penny candy either. Go to Sams and get a case of the full size bars!

Well it looks like I’m in the minority, but I LOVE black licorice!!! I used to hate getting anykind of off brand bubble gum on Halloween. It was always hard as a rock, and a horrible flavor!

I considered this survey slightly different. The only thing that is bad that we hate to get is anything we have to throw away… IE: popcorn balls, apples, such things go to the trash immediately. Anything else… well, if you don’t like it, there’s 5 of us, someone else is bound to want it. I hate black licorice, but my mom loves it! My daughter hates circus peanuts, but I love them! Fair share for walking around with them all night. hehe
