The Worst Halloween Candy

A Month Of Halloweenie Reviews #17

I don't even know what this candy is called, and I can't track it down. All I know is it is super generic, tastes like peanut butter and turds, and only the worst houses would give it out on Halloween. The only thing worse than this candy is candy corn. I'd rather eat a glue gun stick than candy corn.

RATING: 5%

Are you talking about Kerr's Kisses??? Those are gross!! They are meant to taste like molasses. They don't!

Kerr's is based in Toronto--they're probably called something else in the states.

And let's not say things about candy corn that we can't take back.

Those candies are an abomination. Who the hell are those made for? Also, I'm not surprised that John is sticking up for Candy Corn, which is also terrible. John, years of drinking Golden Nut has ravaged your palate.

Fuck you.

I think this is one of those candies our grandparents enjoyed before refined sugar. Personally, I always just thought of them as the ones you can't trade for better candy and are definitely going to throw away in December after you finally realize you'll never be desperate enough to eat them. Peanut butter and turds, indeed.

I mainly remember them from Canada, so maybe they are Kerr's Kisses, although I distinctly remember peanut butter.

Sometimes they have peanuts in them, sometimes not. Sometimes they come on a stick, sometimes not.

I think they might be Kerr's way of turning a profit off the dregs of some other candy-making process. That would explain why they're like $1.00 for 1000 of them.

Like whoa I have never seen this candy or heard of this candy.

Consider yourself lucky, loco, cos they are fucking gross. And definitely peanut butter-y. But not in a good way.
