halloween candy

Ten bucks on a few bags of Halloween candy? Scary. The next thing we know we've spent fifty bucks or more prepping for trick-or-treaters, and (let's be honest), because we want to hold back a stash for ourselves. It happens.

Halloween is coming up Monday and I'll once again be going door to door in my neighborhood with my daughter to do the trick or treating thing, where, without a doubt she will receive quite a bit of candy, some of which she'll share with my wife and I! Thankfully she and I have somewhat different tastes when it comes to candy!

The results are from the Influenster poll asking American's what their favorite Halloween candy is and Texas has a lot in common with Oregon, Wyoming, Tennessee and South Carolina!

Pretty soon the ghosts, goblins, super heroes and the like will be ringing your doorbell and saying "trick or treat" for their Halloween candy!

Ok...door knocking time is almost upon us and if you're anything like me you want to get, and give, the good stuff!  So if you just can't decide on what candy you should hand out, here's my Top 5 Halloween Candy list that is sure to please! 5.  Smarties - A little sour, a little sweet, it's Halloween chalky goodness.  Check out the full list after the jump!

Dang Diggity Doggonit! I got into the Halloween candy this weekend.  I was doing SO good until a dear friend (okay, an evil one) bought me a "Fun Sized" bag of Butterfingers.  I swear I had 5 yesterday, but then again, who's counting...
