Worst Halloween Candy of All Time

As Halloween approaches, kids of all ages are getting excited to finally accumulate their once a year stash of their favorite candies. There are houses that kids walk away from disappointed or even avoid due to some peoples treat giving reputation. Whether adults are attempting to encourage kids with nutritional treats or attempting to hand out health conscious gifts, the following 15 treats are sure to leave kids disappointed. Here is our list of handouts we all remember receiving that were most likely thrown out or sat at the bottom of the candy dish for months on end.

Orange and Black Taffy

These pieces of candy just can’t seem to disappear for Halloween and without any flavor they are always one of the last remaining pieces of candy in your dish.

Candy Corn

These seasonal bite size treats are certain to make your stomach ache if you eat enough of them.

Apples

An apple is the last thing any kid wants when they get to the door step. If your treat is something that moms probably pack in their lunch, don’t bother giving it out on Halloween.

Coins

Whether it is a satchel of pennies, nickels, dimes, or quarters – this has never excited any child unless it comes in paper form.

Popcorn Balls

Anything prepared in the home or being handed out in a plastic bag is usually not a good sign. By bunching popcorn together in the shape of a ball, it offers no flavor benefits and usually ends up being used literally as a ball rather than a treat.

Pencils

On the one day you get to dress up in any costume you want and get to stay out late trick or treating on a school night, this gift is a constant reminder of the very thing you dreaded the next morning.

Smarties

There is the small minority that enjoys this bland snack, but most could not stomach a full pack of these bite size treats.

Raisins

Whether they were served in the super small box or the regular sized box, it made no difference because in the end you are definitely still disappointed.

Toothbrush

Even the dentist in your neighborhood could come up with a better alternative than a toothbrush. What better way to remind a kid that that treat bag of delicious candies could ultimately lead to a painful cavity.

Sixlets

These bite size chocolate covered balls lack in the flavor department and it is pretty obvious; otherwise they would appear in your grocery store more than just the month of October.

Wax Lips

There can not be a more worthless treat than these. Period.

Double Bubble Gum

Although this gum is not terrible in taste, it makes the list because it becomes rock hard after 10 minutes. Plus there are usually a handful of more flavorful and better tasting options that you will receive on Halloween.

Bit–O-Honey

This honey flavored taffy makes the list because with so many alternative bite size candy bars, there is no reason to bypass all of them to hand out of this crappy taffy. If it were a popular snack, you would see it at your check out stand next to the Snickers bars.

Necco Wafers

This bland tasting assortment of round wafers is a guaranteed disappointment for children of all ages.

Circus Peanuts

I am not referring to real peanuts you buy at the ball park, but rather the orange Styrofoam tasting peanuts that have no business being passed along to children unless you are punishing them.
