Halloween is by far my favorite candy holiday. I love the variety of candy that people give out the colorful suckers, bubble gum, smarties, asortment of candy bars, sweet tarts and peanut butter and carmel candies, sugar daddys, dots, M&M's, it's a candy feast. :)

I chose Halloween for supplying me with a variety of candies for many years.

I didn't know Reese's had peanut butter trees. YUM! I'll be sure to look for them this year. Those chocolate oranges are heavenly. :D

I don't really need it to be a holiday for candy. 8O

Come halloween, there's usually the better ones out anyway. Easter is just chocolate, which I don't care much for anyway.

For me, Chocolate is King of the candies. I prefer chocolate over other sweets.

I buy chocolate candies cheap the day after the holiday. For that purpose, Halloween is by far the best for my purposes because it has all the name-brands. It is kinda bad that these are usually the bite-size candy bars, but that can be an advantage sometimes in adjusting exactly how much candy you want to eat at one sitting without having leftover needing to be rewrapped for later.

Christmas has little chocolate Santas, and the Cadbury Eggs found year round that are yummy, and custom-colored M&M's.

Easter used to be my favorite. I like the little malt eggs and solid chocolate eggs. The hollow easter bunnies frequently taste nasty, and the solid ones are difficult to eat. I don't like some of the biggest name brands for chocolate easter bunnies Too sweet, not enough real chocolate. The Cadbury creme eggs are too sweet for my tastes sometimes too, but they are yummy.

Valentine's day has some little treats that can be nice, but in my opinion the gift boxes are too expensive for what you're getting even the day after when they are marked down. Also, some of the chocolates in those gift boxes taste nasty sometimes, and I never really know what I'm getting until I bite into it even if there is a map of the box.

I am prediabetic and have to be careful about how much sugar I consume these days. I usually won't eat any on an empty stomach. There were days when I lived on chocolate.

Halloween? Seriously? Well I guess so, if you're American, because it looks like a very serious thing in America. At least from what I've seen in horror movies, where it's absolutely worshipped. Halloween is barely a celebration, if not at all, here in Britain.

Anyways, my favourite time for sweets and chocolate, Christmas or Easter.

The holiday that Halloween came from was celebrated in Britain by the Celts and Druids quite some time ago. It's the Eve of Novermber a time to honor ancestors, when the veil between this World and the Otherworld is the thinnest. Makes it easy for our ancestors as well as our dead enemies to cross over into our World. They didn't start carving ugly faces in pumkins until they came to America before that it was turnips to scare their dead enemies who came back for them. What is Halloween to us was/is known as Samhain (Irish Gaelic) to the Celts and Druids and is still celebrated today.
