Dan Boyd: Sour Patch Kids number one. It's got the correct ratio of chocolate to filling if we're going to be honest. The mini size KitKat is a simple crunch. That's all you need. And then two honorable mentions because these are candies that aren't necessarily Halloween candies, but they are candies unlike OSSET's list of potato chips and beef jerky.

Ricky Mulvey and Asit Sharma gear up for Halloween and discuss: - Why candy is a growing market that’s also shrinking - Hershey’s M&A strategy and supply chain questions - Official Halloween candy power rankings
