AUTOPLAY

8. Butterfinger fans will remember when Bart Simpson did the ads for the popular candy bar. They have that flaky "peanut buttery" filling that is so sugary it gets stuck in your teeth, reports the Daily Press. (Courtesy play.kendincos.us)
7. America's favorite licorice comes in at No. 7. The tangy, waxy taste of the twisted sticks have been a staple in kids' Halloween loot for years. (Courtesy en.wikipedia.org)
6. Few of us can resist the lure of a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup. The 84-year old-candy has been a go-to for trick-or-treaters and those who are secretely hoping they don't give them all away on Halloween. (Courtesy greatamericanthings.net)
5. Finding those little brown or yellow M&M's packets in your Halloween candy will deliver an instant pick-me-up even before they 'melt in your mouth, not in your hand.' (Courtesy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%26M%27s)
4. Whether minty or fruity, Life Savers may not make your list of favorite candies, but they are passed out more than most others on Halloween, reports the Daily Press. Oh yeah, they come in a gummy version too! (Courtesy blogs.archives.gov)
3. You may only eat Tootsie Rolls during this holiday and there's a good reason. It's the No. 3 candy handed out. The Daily Press reports the smaller size makes a candy bowl last longer! (Courtesy imperialscott.us)
2. Crunchy, sugary, colorful: The one-inch mini boxes that Nerds come in makes them fun to shake and pop into your mouth. (Courtesy wonka.com)
1. Snickers. One of the few candies that satisfies in "fun size" on Halloween. The Daily Press reports it's the No. 1 candy given out at the door on October 31. (Courtesy todayifoundout.org)
