The Halloween season is bringing more than ghosts and goblins this year for many, rising candy prices are the real scare. Stocking up on Halloween supplies in Toronto's Golden Triangle neighbourhood, a popular East York spot for trick-or-treaters, Shannon Crookston said she had to take a different approach this year because of rising costs. We used to do the full-size chocolate bars every year, Crookston said. But just given the cost, unfortunately, that wasn't an option anymore, so we've kind of had to do the treat size instead.
Let's just say, the candy lovers of Tasty didn't hold back - some of these roasts are BRUTAL. (And it goes to show that no matter which candy you love, there's always gonna be someone who disagrees with you. Let the people have their opinions.)
Coming out on top was the variety pack filled with packages of M&M's, Peanut M&M's, Snickers, Twix, and Milky Way. In this swoop of a steal, sweet lovers get a range of texture and flavor of different candies in a single buy. These classic Halloween candies are guaranteed crowd-pleasers, so whether you're setting the candy into bowls to place around the house, share at the office, or quickly toss into trick-or-treaters' bags, your savvy grab will be appreciated.
