If you’ve ever had your house egged or toilet-papered (TP’d as kids affectionately refer to it) following a Halloween in which you believed your candies of choice to be stellar…think again. Nine times out of 10, little hooligans are plotting their targets for what they think is devilishly good fun on the basis of who gave out the worst candy the year before. So, those scary boo-bags that contained dental floss, candied banana chips, and a coupon for a free gift at the health food store probably didn’t go over that well with Tommy “Mr. Charmin” Goodneighbor and his band of merry Yolksters that live just down the road from you. But, how do you stop these Texas Hill Country tricksters from making you their annual target?

What guarantees that your home won’t be the brunt of their dastardly deeds next year? Survey says…good candy! Forbes.com analyzed the best and worst candy selections from Halloweens past to come up with their versions of top-10 lists for the very same, and to help lame ducks such as ourselves to pick up the pieces and work towards positioning our Halloween Candy King & Queen crowns more prominently on our heads! Without further ado, here are the top picks for 2017 in order of best to last:
- Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
- Snickers
- Twix
- Kit Kat
- M&Ms
- Nerds
- Butterfinger
- Sour Patch Kids
- Skittles
- Hershey Bar
And don’t be silly…of course size matters in this instance. Did you ever hear of a home that got egged for giving out full-sized chocolate bars?! We think not. So, brace yourselves for next year folks. Armed with this list, you simply can’t go wrong. May the Forbes be with you…
The directions in this article were merely meant in good fun. If you really do have a problem with Halloween hooligans, it’s likely that no amount of candy type or size will fix that problem, and it’s best to deal with it in a more responsible fashion as opposed to feeling extorted in exchange for saving your house from damage.
