![]() ![]() I really love Hershey’s unique take: Cookies ‘n’ Creme Fangs, with vampire teeth impressed into the mini bars. Frankford's Skull Hot Chocolate Drink Bombs Frankford Candy It's also made strikingly realistic Skull Hot Chocolate Drink Bombs filled with mini marshmallows. Not to be outdone in the disgusting gummy department, Frankford has jumbo bags of Body Parts candy, with fingers, feet, ears, brains … and eyeballs, of course. No time for baking? Target's no-bake, kid-friendly kits are extra-fun this year, with Mummy Brownies, Tie Dye Monster Cookies and Monster Cookie Bites with (you guessed it!) single giant eyeballs. Tubs of Halloween Midnight Fright Sprinkles and vials of (surprise!) tiny candy eyes will make your favorite Halloween cookie recipe instantly creepy-cute. In addition to gummy eyeballs and bloodshot gumballs in apothecary jars, they have disturbingly accurate gummy brains and beakers of hard candy bones. Speaking of eyeballs, if you love eating them, head over to Target to check out its eyeball-forward Hyde and EEK! candy and kit lineup. If you find yourself with a bag left, the recipe section of Reese's website has you covered with instructions for candy-covered apples, bars and brownies and eyeball cookies. Although I always indulge in a few of those shapes for their superior peanut butter-to-chocolate ratio, Reese’s Pieces are tailor-made for holiday baking. There are also ghosts and cups in white creme coating. ![]() Reese’s packaging and pieces candy is always seasonally dressed in orange and brown, but it's gone the extra mile developing Franken-Cups with a green creme layer, and shapes in chocolate pumpkins, ghosts and bats. The latter is very ginger-y, more like a gingersnap than pumpkin pie, but it’s still in the seasonal ballpark. Its Witches’ Brew green marshmallow creme is my favorite, but it's also packaged up white creme Breaking Bones and an orange-coated Pumpkin Pie flavor wrapped in fall foliage colors. ![]() Kit Kat disappointed me last Valentine’s Day, but they’ve made up for it with a bevy of spooky minis. In addition, Rubicon is still providing free wrapper collection boxes for schools and community organizations. They’re sold out for the year to order online, but you can still visit to find out where they are available in your area. Mars is also collaborating with Rubicon Technologies to produce recyclable trick-or-treat bags and candy wrappers in an effort to reduce holiday plastic waste. In fact, Mars’ whole Halloween line centers on Ghoulish Green this year: Twix has a bright green cookie, and Snickers with green nougat rounds out the lineup. Its Ghoul’s Mixes have seasonal orange, purple and green shells over original milk chocolate, peanut and peanut butter flavors. Mars Candy's M&M's Cookies and Screeem flavor has layers of dark chocolate and white chocolate filling lurking beneath its trademarked candy shell, and the Creepy Cocoa Crisp tops the crunchy middle with dark chocolate. But, the really snazzy items are the limited editions, and that’s what I’ll focus on here. There are even treat-sized bags of Froot Loops and Rice Krispies Treats. ![]() Whether your favorite is Butterfinger, Laffy Taffy, Blow Pops or York Peppermint Patties, you’ll find grab bags ready to go. Be forewarned that chocolate prices in particular have soared quite a bit, so steel yourself for some sticker shock. All the major candy companies have their usual mixed bags of their original items. ![]()
