Candy Season Is Here But What Sweets Will Your Little Ones (And YOU) Will Reject In Texas?

As Halloween approaches, children and candy enthusiasts eagerly anticipate their sweet hauls on the night of Oct. 31st. However, not all treats bring joy.

Some candies have earned a notorious reputation as the least desired, often left at the bottom of the trick-or-treat bags or just thrown in the trash. While everyone’s tastes differ, these candies remain the most dreaded finds in Halloween candy hauls, year after year.

Here's a look at the top 5 most hated Halloween candies of 2024.

1. Candy Corn

You already know its at the top of the list, no need to hold back any surprise here. No Halloween list would be complete without the polarizing candy corn. Its waxy texture and overly sweet taste have made it a staple on “worst candy” lists for years. Despite its iconic status and festive appearance, candy corn remains a divisive treat that many love to hate and weirdos continue to support and keep in business.

2. Circus Peanuts

These orange, banana-flavored marshmallow candies baffle and disgust many. Their strange flavor combination and rubbery consistency are off-putting, making them a frequent target of Halloween candy complaints. Few trick-or-treaters are thrilled to find these in their bags.

By the way, you can actually order this gigantic box on Amazon.

1. Necco Wafers

Necco Wafers, aka candy Alka-Seltzers as I used to call them, with their chalky texture and mild, almost medicinal flavors, continue to be a Halloween disappointment. While some may appreciate their nostalgia, most kids (and adults) would prefer something with more flavor and less grit.

4. Peanut Butter Kisses (Mary Janes)

These sticky, chewy peanut butter (more like a honey taste to me) candies, wrapped in plain orange and black wax paper, are a Halloween classic. Unfortunately, their unappealing packaging and overly tough texture have left many trick-or-treaters unhappy. They’re often the last candy to be eaten—if they’re eaten at all.

5. Good & Plenty

These licorice-flavored pink and white candies have a unique taste that fails to win over most kids. Licorice is a divisive flavor on its own, and the hard candy shell of Good & Plenty doesn’t help its case, making it one of the least popular Halloween offerings year after year.
