The spooks and scares are great, but let's face it: Halloween is really about the sweets. Sure, there are tons of Halloween desserts and festive Halloween party snacks that can satisfy your craving, but classic candy is arguably the best way to get your sugar fix. And while you can always load up on traditional candies (think: Hershey's chocolate bars, Reese's peanut butter cups and candy corn), you'll be the coolest house on the block if you throw some all-new Halloween candy into the mix.
To help you narrow down your spooky-season sweets, we’ve gathered our favorite Halloween candy for 2022. From chocolate classics that never go out of style to treats with a spooky twist, there’s plenty of scarily delicious choices to stock up on this Halloween. Whether you’re looking for cheap Halloween candy you can buy in bulk or fun-size bites to snack on all night long, these spooktacular options will please any and every festive need. A lot of these options are only offered for a limited time, so you'll want to pick 'em from Amazon, Walmart, Sam's Club or Target well before October 31. That way, you can check one thing off your list — and have even more time to snack on your favorites.
After a few bites, these mini chocolate bars resemble vampire fangs. But once the gag is over, you can keep eating them for more creamy deliciousness.
All of your favorites — Reese's, York Peppermint Patties, Hershey's chocolate bars — get the Halloween treatment in this 50-piece assortment.
