You’re trick-or-treating with your friends on Halloween night. You guys dress up in matching costumes, get matching bags and carpool to the best neighborhood. The first house you go to you knock on the door as you sing song “Trick or treat!”

You excitedly watch as the woman drops candy into your bag, only to look down and see raisinets.

Your Halloween night is only as good as the candy you get. Trick-or-treating and costume parties are popular among teens as a way to make memories and collect yummy treats.

I’ve crafted the perfect list of Halloween candies that anyone would be happy to get.

1. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups: What kind of candy list would this be if I didn’t include the all-time favorite trick-or-treat surprise? These classic chocolates are the only candy that somehow taste better when smaller. Unpopular opinion- All Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups should be mini.
2. Skittles: As one of the most versatile, easy and well-liked candies year-round, it was clear what my second choice should be. Classic skittles come in many different flavors, and they even have different mixes. Wild Berry and Sour Skittles are also popular among trick-or-treaters.
3. M&M’s: These are one of the most popular candies among chocolate lovers. They come in many different flavors, shapes and colors. They can cater to plenty of different palettes, from peanut lovers to caramel fans.
4. Airheads: These are debatably the most underrated Halloween candies. They’re easy, mess free and delicious. Throw a couple of these in my trick-or-treat bag and I’m set for the rest of the night.
5. Sour Patch Kids: Ending this list on a strong note, Sour Patch Kids are fun and easy to hand out. They’re in demand year after year on Halloween night, and it’s clear why.

I think the treats that you get on Halloween top any other holiday solely because of the spirit and excitement that come with it. Going home with a bag full of candy I love and being able to share it with friends is my favorite part of the spooky night! As long as it’s not candy corn.

Whatever your Halloween plans are, everyone can agree that the night only ends well if you have some good sweets to munch on after all the excitement. But who wants to go home with a bag full of gobstoppers and tootsie rolls?
