" If the Halloweens of our childhoods taught us anything, it&amp;#039;s that the confectionery-filled pillow sack of life is a mixed bag: Sometimes you get a jujube, thankfully, but sometimes you get a bag of carrots. That is to say, much like the people who give them, not all candy is created equal. We could make a list of the ones we love (a few: Twix, Kit Kat, Lindt bars on a special day), but really, it could never be long enough. So in the interest of making a few kids a little happier \u2014 and you more thankful for the leftovers \u2014 we&amp;#039;ve instead compiled a list of what we wish people would leave in the bag this weekend \u2014 with one (very) notable exception.   Aero High-concept candy never works out for anyone.  Candy Corn Vegetable-based (or -inspired) confectionery is fundamentally flawed. Also: It has the consistency of a car tire.  PayDay Too salty.   Jawbreakers Too many reasons.  Bit-O-Honey Will age you by several decades. And it always tastes stale. See also: Necco wafers, Bazookas. Twizzlers Not licorice.    Carrot sticks, pennies, apples without caramel We&amp;#039;re looking at you, Birkenstocked people who leave out non-candies on Halloween. Turn your porch lights off.   Skor Because there&amp;#039;s already the Heath bar.  Three Musketeers Too much nougat.  Crunchy M&amp;amp;amp;M&amp;#039;s You don&amp;#039;t mess with a classic.   Strawberried Peanut Butter M&amp;amp;amp;M&amp;#039;s Ditto.   Starburst For that weird aftertaste one experiences after eating more than three of them.  Warheads More self-flagellation than treat.  Hershey&amp;#039;s Kisses Not because they don&amp;#039;t taste good, but because their foil wrapping so easily unravels.   Now and Later Perfect after sitting in the sun for a few hours, or after sitting in your back pocket. Otherwise, too damn hard.   Skittles Cavities.  Sour Skittles Do they need to be sugary and entirely too sour?  Smarties Just because sugar is pressed into a tablet doesn&amp;#039;t mean it&amp;#039;s candy.   Pez Fine toy for your child. That&amp;#039;s about it.   The pre-emptive complaint: 95 percent of See&amp;#039;s Candies holiday gift boxes. The only ones that truly matter: Molasses, those circular caramel-chocolate patties. You can read more of our Halloween wisdom on Eat Like a Man, including the only candy a man should ever eat, an official cocktail recipe, and some pumpkin-flavored products you&amp;#039;d be best to avoid.
