Another stale but fun thread, here goes:
Generally don't eat much candy, never really thought about it, but as I examine my habits, see definite patterns.
Don't generally care for chewy/ sticky; No caramel, taffy, Starburst, Twizzlers, etc. Neither a big fan of hard candies, lollipops.
Seem to reliably head for chocolate and nuts; Peanut M&M's, almond clusters, Reese's peanut butter cups....(I know that filling barely qualifies as a peanut product, but soooooooo good.)
Forgive ignorance....does the tradition of Halloween exist much outside of North America? Think about it......Running around like little maniacs in the street, banging on doors with a pillow case held out in front of you.....Bag slowly filling up with a treasure trove of sample size candies, getting exposed to brands and styles you might not otherwise choose for yourself. Unwrap one, pop it in your mouth......If not to your liking, spit it in the reject pile, move on to the next one. Repeat!
