No poll because I'm sure I'd forget something.

Inspired by finding out that the dollar store has bags of those crummy fruit flavored Tootsie Rolls, which I love.

It's tempting to linger in this moment, while every possibility still exists. But unless collapsed by an observer, they will never be more than possibilities.

Fruity Tootsie Rolls are great. Smarties, too.

I'm not sure what's considered "bad" candy other than candy corn or those weird strawberry candies that have the wrapper that looks like a strawberry.

I make a hell of a cake this time of year with apples, spiced rum and melted candy corn (the syrup is the color of blood.)

That said, my favorite "bad candy" is probably taffy, so long as I get to it before it gets to chemically bond to its wax paper.

Yeah I came to say the fruity tootsie rolls too. The vanilla one especially is my favorite.

I like to twist them together to make stuff like orange + vanilla or cherry + lime.

Melowcream punmpkins and apples and just candy corn.
All of that is good though, never understood the hate.

"Make" is a misnomer since I literally just modify a bog-standard box of spice cake mix - add extra nutmeg, half the liquid replaced with rum, baked in a bundt pan with a shot of rum and melted candy corn as a glaze. The apples themselves are candied in the glaze too - small slices boiled down in the syrup and added to the top after it's done with unmelted candy corn interspersed too.

Wish I wrote down exact measurements but I'm not a precise measurer, which bites me in the ass during Christmas cookies.

Very puzzled that apparently fruit Tootsie Rolls are on the "candy nobody likes" list, though.

Smarties, but one step fancier would be Nerds for sure. I would trade all my candies for Nerds and Tootsie Pops as a kid.

Pleasantly surprised they're so popular here, when I was a kid none of my friends liked them.

But either way, they're cheap so they qualify.

Smarties.

Never ever liked candy corn, and I'm also somewhat confused on the fruity tootsie rolls. I guess as a kid I didn't really like them, but I like them now so I'm basing it off of that.

This topic reminds me, they sort of brought back Oh Henry bars (might be on a limited basis). They're fashioned like the Canadian version, where the peanuts are exposed on top and it's all one bar, but the fudge is there so it's not like it's bad. It's kind of like eating a less salty Payday.

As for the topic, I like candy corn. I don't know what other "bad" candy there is, maybe there are more candidates in there.

I like Candy corn and smarties.

But I don't like chocolate, so candy options were very limited for me growing up.

I wonder if American Smarties are different than the ones that made it over here in Indonesia. They're just chocolate coated in candy shells.

Very. American Smarties aren't chocolate at all. They're a little bit tart. Let's see if this URL is short enough:

Would make sense. Here both Smarties and M&Ms are chocolate with candy shells and they're pretty similar. Though IIRC Smarties have pulled out of the market.
