Favorite Halloween Candy

Halloween is such a fun time for kids and adults. So the question that comes to my mind is if you are going to invest in the sugar high of all these ghosts and goblins what is the treat that will make the biggest hit?  The answer this Friday if you want to hit a home run with the little trick-or-treaters that come to your door, hand out a Snickers. Snickers is the No. 1 candy given out at the door on October 31 - and it’s the most loved. The rest of the list you say...

1. Snickers
