Ask Maxwell: Best Halloween Candy … Like, Ever?
Dear Ellie,
I love you! You handed me a softball of a question and one that I KNEW I COULD ACE. Here you go (from a few good sources):
- Chupa Chups Lollipops or Airheads, but NOT DumDums! Lollipops are VERY POPULAR again..
- Skittles in fun size bags — ALWAYS a fave….
- Mini Snickers — This one surprised me a lot, but it seems to be the leader in the chocolate style direction, edging out all other takers like M&M’s and Milky Way etc …
The most interesting here is the resurgence of the simple, old fashioned lollipop, though these new versions are not simple. I also think Instagram has turned candy that you can experience and hang out with while talking to your friends — read lollipops — to be much more fashionable.
Do let me know how it all turns out!
Best, M
