As the leaves turn vibrant shades of crimson and gold, and the crisp autumn breeze fills the air, it can mean only one thing: Halloween is lurking just around the corner. Amidst the anticipation for costumes, haunted houses, and eerie decorations, there’s another delightful aspect of this spooktacular season that we simply can’t ignore–Halloween candy. But not all treats are created equal, and that’s where the BISV Quill comes into play. The BISV Quill has made a tier list based on price, calories, and amount per packet. These lists are mostly based on data we gathered and our personal opinion.

Personal Opinion
- Sour Patch – Sweet and sour is a good combo for candy, but the powder gets messy (the watermelon ones are top-tier).
- Butterfinger – We love the flakiness and flavor;it reminds me of this Chinese snack called dragon’s beard candy.
- Jolly Ranchers – It’s also a very solid candy, but it takes too long to eat because it’s very hard. You might end up eating some of the plastic wrapper too.
- Swedish Fish – It has a very satisfying texture, and it’s super sweet. Unfortunately, it can get stuck in your teeth a lot.
- Haribo gummy bears – They taste good, and the chewiness is also very satisfying. Sadly, only half of the flavors are good.
- Skittles – They’re solid, but you can’t eat a lot at a time.
- Twix – They’re given out everywhere. It’s a basic candy, but the quality is top tier. The caramel is delicious, the wafer on the bottom is so crunchy and yummy, and the chocolate is just right. We can eat so many of these in one sitting, but the left and right thing is kinda stupid.
- Starburst – We think that only the pink ones are good (without pink starbursts it would be ranked at 16).
- Ring Pops – They’re similar to a Jolly Rancher, but they make your fingers super sticky when you lick them while wearing them.
- Snickers – They’re the peanut version of Twix but ten times worse.
- Reeses – We’re not a fan of the super thick peanut-flavored filling on the inside, as it makes our mouths super dry.
- Kit Kat – The crunchy chocolate wafer is always a good combo, but the chocolate melts really easily.
- Nerds – They’re too sweet, and unless you dump all of them into your mouth, they’re not very satisfying
- Crunch – They’re very underrated; the crunch is pretty good.
- Laffy Taffy – They’re decent, but they stuck in my teeth; plus, the flavoring is kind of mediocre
- M&M’s – They’re ok;the peanut ones are better though.
- Hershey’s – They’re a classic chocolate brand but it’s just mediocre overall.
- Milky Way – They’re very boring and don’t taste that good.
- Candy corn – Candy corn is an iconic Halloween candy but it tastes really bad.
- Twizzlers – They’re bland, too chewy, sweet but not sweet enough to cover up everything else.
