Eight Halloween Treats that Need to Retire

Almost a given by now. Used in decoration, sure! The fact that this stuff's ingredients are more related to chapstick than candy (unproven) should tell you something.

I'm not even exactly sure what this treat is supposed to be. It's like a salt water taffy but replace the salt with walnut, replace the water with maple syrup and replace the taffy with gross.

This stuff may have been a fun idea in the 1940s or whenever it was invented, but the idea of candy coated black licorice wire is just odd.

There is nothing wrong with these, but they shouldn't hand out the same thing you get for free at the bank. They have that covered all year long

I'm not even sure if there's a name, but anything this hot shouldn't be considered a Halloween treat. This also goes for Hot Tamales and Red Hots. Then again, today's kids love Takis which are like eating tortilla-flavored fire so maybe I'm just out of the loop.

Now, I'll preface this by saying if they're homemade, it's all good. Same with caramel apples. However, those pre-packaged store-bought popcorn balls are dry and gross and goes against what they should be. Don't bother.

To me, tootie rolls are a staple tradition of Halloween candy and wouldn't be the same if you didn't get a handful. The problem is this is one of those classic candies that didn't die and is still around today. As years went on, new treats have become better and when you're all done with your candy, you always have a bunch of these left. Time to stop handing them out.

Controversial, I know, but I have a good reason. If there aren't any of these I won't be tempted to steal them from my kids when they're not looking.
