As far as Halloween candy goes, I LOVE those little mellowcreme pumpkins.  They are the perfect shape and texture.  Fortunately they are fat free, and 6 of them is 150 calories, so that isn't too bad.  I might have a couple this Halloween season.

As far as my favorite candy goes in general, I love miniature Reese's cups and Hot Tamales.  Oh, and Snickers bars.  But I really don't indulge in these things, because I'm afraid I might start craving sugar again.  I really don't have many sugar cravings these days.

I love pretty much every type of fruit candy. And a majority of them are fat-free--besides chewy ones like Skittles and gummy worms. Must be in the way they're made. But I can't resist Runts or Nerds or Jolly Ranchers to save my life haha

I LOVE CANDY CORN! but i dont eat it for my diet

Oh how I love Snickers and Reeses.  I don't mind not eating them but once I get started it is hard to stop. 

Snickers!! and those small packs of milk duds.......don't get me started.....

snickers and me are lovers

and just about anything else to be honest

but i try to stay away from candy completely
candy corn
Candy corn?  Thats colored wax! 

In fact, it is not technically candy if it doesnt include chocolate.  Starbursts, skittles, etc are not candy - just colored sugar. 
  • YOGURT COVERED PRETZELS.
  • reeses peanut butter cups.
  • marshmallow (preferably chocolate coated)
  • chocolate itself.
  • cookie dough

damn, i wanna binge now..

Man, do I miss Runts.  I haven't had them in more than ten years.  I don't really want them now, I just miss how satisfied I used to feel popping open a fresh box, lining them up like little soldiers, and devouring them from behind.  I felt like I took their dignity along with their calories.

Otherwise my favourite "candy" are cereal bars.  I know they're not really candy, but the old lady on the corner who handed out NutriGrain twists was my hero.

my favorite candy is reses fast break... i am a peanut butter lover along with the chocolate....  being on this websut and keeping track of calories consumed; do we actually have to exercise to lose the weight? i have no place to do it cause i live right ona highway and i have young children..

I don't have a huge sweet tooth at all, but around Halloween I love Candy Corn, Snickers (salty nuts) and anything Reeses (salty PB!) :)  Thankfully I have no children in my life to bring me sweet treats! 
Candy corn is my weakness too.  I have not been able to find sugar free, but I did find that those little individual packs for tricker treaters only have 50 calories...so that is my once in a while treat, and the limited portion helps to keep me from going overboard!
ooh! really?  Where did you find little individual packs for 50 calories?!

ugh, i just had my first halloween candy binge of the season... probably 300 calories worth of candy corn, if you can believe that.

yuck.

yuck.

yuck.

my tongue still feels gross and high-fructose-corn-syrupy. 

I love candy corn as well but don't indulge in it because I would go overboard.  I don't even buy it because of that.  I also love anything gummi fruity kind of things.  I love the gummi bears, worms, jolly rancher gummies, and everything.  Every once in awhile I will buy a small box and split it into little portion baggies when I get home so I just eat one serving.  This way I don't go overboard when I do buy it but I don't buy it very often because even though they are fat free I just don't feel the calorie are worth it.  It is very sugary and pretty much empty calories to me.
ANYTHING with chocolate.

mmm... I'm all about the reeces!!! 

CANDY CORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, I can't eat it anymore. It has gelatin in it and I'm a vegetarian. :(

Someone have a recipe for vegetarian candy corn? lol
