Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups - Still among the best selling candy year 'round.
Snickers - "Shrinkflation" has taken its toll, but, oh, the nougat!

Swedish Fish - New to me, but I'm sure it is neither a fish nor from Sweden.
Starburst Gummies - Softer and easier on kid's teeth.
Twizzlers - Tie 'em in a knot or spin 'em around. Only red will do.

Nerds - You don't need to be a nerd, but it helps.
Laffy Taffy - Parents are helping this comeback thanks to the "Dad Joke".

Airheads - Another sweet and sour entry with an 80's vibe.
Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bars - Try making a S'more with any of the others. I dare you!
Strawberry Bon Bons - Wrapped to look like a strawberry, something mom keeps in her purse.
Baby Bottle Pop - The ultimate throwback that's also an over-packaged experience.
Candy Corn - October 30 is "National Candy Corn Day". It refuses to leave!
Jolly Rancher Freeze-Dried Candy - Why "freeze dry". They'll be gone by day's end.
