I was so pissed when my parents finally got me a hickory farms thing for christmas as an adult and learned that those were the worst thing in the box. They are still great but damn man thats some high tier crackers, cheese, and sasuage.

I went ham on those because my grandmother had a hard candy dish on her coffee table filled with them. I straight up forgot they existed until I was reminded today.

Nice to hear some appreciation for white chocolate. Is it "real" chocolate? It's real to me, dammit.

[@johnthomason9980]

Is it real chocolate? I dunno man who cares, what it IS is *good*

[@OGR-4394]

Far as I know it's the same but no cocoa

[@Eidlones]

I prefer white chocolate. It's delicious

[@posteriorpepperoni]

It's as real as it needs to be the best type of chocolate

[@habadasheryjones]

No cocoa equals no chocolate to me. The hate for white chocolate stems from the inherit lie of calling it chocolate in the first place. Its like calling a lemon a yellow orange. It doesn't make sense calling something chocolate when its missing the integral ingredient to chocolate.

[@ProfitOfTheWhirred]

Woolie allowing his bias to discount Tootsie rolls. High tier? Certainly not. But same tier as Candy Corn? Get the hell out of here.

[@fenris5932]

tootsie rolls are poor man's chocolate and are thus relegated to the loser candy pile with candy corn

[@chimeraelite]

Bro I'd rank candy corn over Tootsie rolls.

No no tootsie rolls and candy corn are bad

[@RichardJohnson-wd1gp]

Tootsie Rolls are neither good nor bad Candy Corn is offensive

Chewy chocolate Tootsie Rolls are great. Tootsie Pops are top-tier Halloween candy.

It’s INSANE how much better the flavors are over the classic. Completely different experience. It’s like they turned their DOTS gumdrops into tootsie rolls.

[@FaelumbreProject]

if the strawberry candy comes in with a strawberry themed wrapper, no matter the brand there's a bit of a good time in there

He works out at the library

[@supervoltekka593]

The now-canceled Stamper once said on the same Sleepycast episode that Woolie was on that Cadbury creme eggs are 'like a fairy jerked off in your mouth", and I wouldn't blame him because no bunny knows sickly sweet better than Cadbury

[@Alice-May]

Reminds me of that one description of Pepsi Nitro

[@MOVGAMES.]

Eh, pre Kraft buyout Cadbury maybe, these days Cadbury is a shadow of how it was before IMO.

[@lifeiscrap103]

Oh no! Stamper got canceled? That's a shame

[@marioe.4400]

Give the kids real chocolate, such as Lindt: 99% Dark for the real stuff; 90% for less bitterness; And them Hazelnut BALLS that melt in your mouth! Now that Toblerone is no longer made in Switzerland, Lindt's amongst the few true remaining chocolatiers left...

[@thewordywarlock7159]

When we're feeling bougie we buy bottled juice instead of just store-brand powdered drink mix, and I gotta say, the cranberry-watermelon juice, like the Ocean Spray kind? Tastes _exactly_ like Jolly Ranchers. Like you're drinking it straight from the tap at the factory.

[@jfa99]

most ocean spray is labeled "juice drink" cuz it's like 5% juice and 95% sweetened flavored water. It could be runoff from the jolly rancher plant, who knows

[@VacantPsalm]

As an adult, I now sometimes respect the NOT 110% pure sugar candies. There are times I want a subtle sweet, and I will go buy Tootsie Rolls of my own volition. And the best Reese's are any holiday festive kind, because it has a thinner chocolate coating and you get more peanut butter.

[@DKZK21]

Woolie talking mad hate for plain chocolate here but I've always been (always will be) a sucker for a Three Musketeers bar. Something about that soft-whipped chocolate nougat filling just feels like home to me.

[@whiteperson1742]

Coffee crisp sounds really good

[@lewa3910]

Ive been liking dark chocolate more as i get older, Because it doesn't taste as addictive as milk white chocolate being overly sweet. I feel like i can have a single dark chocolate square and im good

[@MizzieMox]

Fruity flavored tootsie rolls are quite good, and I'll fight for that. I agree that Tootsies and Candy Corn are filler candy, like Styrofoam meant to protect the good candy. Favorites: Fave Red Starburst, Cookies and Cream Hersheys, Resse's Sticks, Everlasting Gobstoppers High End-ish: Ferrerro Rocher, Toblerone

[@RichardJohnson-wd1gp]

Red Starburst and Skittles were my faves Crunch was my shit for one year I wish Pokéblocks were a candy lol

Who the FUCK was handing out Ferrerro Roche or Toblerone for Halloween? Was someone needing to one up the Full candy bar guy?

[@MizzieMox]

[@fakealias1990]

I actually think the vanilla-flavored tootsie rolls are really good and a lot better than the normal ones.

[@erikstrasburg6411]

Because of this conversation I couldn't control the impulse and inhaled a dozen pieces of assorted Halloween candy. I'm 30 and can't do that anymore.

[@iller3]

As an ADHD kid I lived on that shit up until I finally started going to a psychiatrist in my 30's and learned to change my cognitive habits. I get a sinking feeling in my guts now just from looking at any confection that's primarily sugar

[@FaelumbreProject]

Holy crap yes, from another person with ADHD. It's crazy how much you rely on it when you have no healthy coping strategies and now that I finally have them, the thought of sugar-coated sour candy makes my tongue recede by itself. I'll still have a good dark chocolate and mild gummy stuff, but for taste, not for the sugar.

[@chaos2inferno]

I'm sorry for your loss

[@DarthEnderX]

You're crazy. Chewy chocolate Tootsie Rolls are great. Tootsie Pops are top-tier Halloween candy.

[@clansullivan6059]

This stream needs some marble columns and togas.

[@zombyjano]

Being latino, I gotta enjoy me some spicy candy. There's these little corn shaped lollipops with spice dust on them, those Pelo or Pelones whatever-the-fuck push pops, just cheap stuff like that you'd fine in places like Norgate. It's not my favorite, but I grew up on them, thus the appreciation for them.

[@odizm5196]

anther thing is you can make sculpture out of airheads and laffy taffy candy sculptures

[@JMenitta]

Charms blowpops are my jam. Probably pretty average in the grand scheme but the artificial watermelon flavor you get from one of those is great. Also they're just better tootsie pops. Instead of a shit tootsie roll in the middle, you get a piece of gum.

[@habadasheryjones]

I bought a whole bag of those for myself a couple Halloweens ago. They're still fire.

[@mackenziemoisan5993]

Hold up. Did Woolie say that Rockets (American Smarties) and Popeye sticks are better than Tootise Rolls?! Oh those are fighting words pal.

[@NEEDbacon]

Nah, they offer the instant gratification. They're great.

[@ScorpioTheScorpion1503]

Then you better be ready to catch hands, because those are the words of a champion.

[@AgentOrrange]

I know the chances of Woolie seeing this are almost nothing after 24 hours, but across the puddle in Buffalo we have sponge candy at places like Parkside Candy that just dissolves on your tongue. You'd love it if you love Crunchie bars. It's a top tier version of that.

[@talljoke]

Big fan of the AbaKiller/White Dino Thunder helmet in it back.

[@Dan-Ky-Kang]

Woolie confirmed to like Cadbury creme egg. Black on the outside, white in the middle, and yellow on the inside. My man

[@parodysam]

As the only person in the world who likes candy corn I have a good thing going. After Halloween when all the stores are sold out of candy, the candy corn is always still there.

[@Vanity0666]

I can throw down on this

[@Vanity0666]

I live in an asian immigrant community and they give out botan rice candy and it rips

[@weirdo3116]

why would I want a generic hershey or aero bar? cause cause they taste good that's why.

[@habadasheryjones]

People get snobbish about Hershey chocolate, specifically people not from the US. Like I get that its not "the best chocolate in the world" but it sure hits the spot and can be bought literally anywhere candy is sold. Thats worth something compared to every other hard to find overpriced "gourmet chocolate" that gets shouted out.

[@figuures6098]

If I’m eating a tootsie roll, it’s a cry for help.

Freeze those Reese's Pieces and Skittles. Also, big shout-out to SweeTarts, especially the massive bunny and chick shaped Easter ones back in the day.

[@Solqueen86]

The black and orange paper wrap Molasses Taffy that has peanuts in it is a Halloween staple in all trick-or-treat bags...But then THIS year they changed the taffy to MILK flavor and it all f up now

[@albinoburrito900]

We do have coffee crisp in America, it's a "Publix" thing in the south and something you find at international stores in the states otherwise

7:57 Can honestly say don't recall getting Hershey bars. But Areo's are great to suck on on and feel them melt down. If you're just chewing them then yeah they're not great, gotta suck them. 8:56 We absolutely do get Payday's here in BC. 3 Musketeers I will say we don't. But Payday's ain't hard to find. Hell, just go for the Planter's knock off version of it.

[@JTF374]

Paydays are solely peanut butter bars with peanuts coating the entire bar of peanut butter

[@SapphireCarbuncle009]

Personal fav is Starburst for all the Friendship Bracelet making you could do with the wrappers. I have a ring, two bracelets, and a necklace from them too! Lifesaver, Jolly Rancher, and Werther's are great too. Personal vouch for the Melt-in-your-mouth Peppermints though, never been a better mint. Seasonal Reese's are Top Tier though, they remove the paper wrapping entirely for an easy snack.

[@Diinify]

The fuck you mean don't give out tootsie rolls, that shit rules

I’m surprised it took 10 minutes to bring up Resse’s, but they put respect on the name

I switched to a low carb diet. BUT i make my own sweet now. I have 75% dark chocolate (no sugar) mixed with heavy cream and butter. Freeze that and put 100% peanut butter (again no sugar added), then a a drizzle of dark chocolate alone on top.

[@jman2816]

I teach high school and had half of my class out for a field trip right after Halloween, so I had the remaining kiddos make a Halloween candy tier list as a class. Here's the results: S: Reese's, M&M A: Sour Patch Kids, Hershey's, Skittles, Twix, and Snickers B: Dark Chocolate Hershey's, Krackel, Mr. Goodbar, Smarties, Starburst, Butterfinger, Crunch, Lifesaver Gummies, Almond Joy, and Woppers C: Nerds, Twizzlers, Gobstoppers, Lemon heads, Tootsie Pops, and blow pops D: Candy Corn, Pixie Sticks I put together the list and forgot to add KitKats and Jolly Ranchers, and there were some surprises and upsets in the class. It's a small group too, so fringe opinions had a lot of sway
