What is your favorite Halloween candy of all time?

I have an admitted *serious* sweet tooth… my taste in candy tends towards the stuff you liked as a kid; if I have to choose between a “grown-up” semi-sweet Godiva truffle rolled in cocoa and a box of Gobstoppers, those Gobstoppers win every time!
I've been known to stash sweets in my desk at work; Jolly Ranchers and Atomic Fireballs are the usual suspects… but Halloween candy is different.
There's something about it that I can't put my finger on; it's just different. The picture I've posted (left) is one I just found through Google images… it's not my candy, I don't even know where that stash was collected, but I know what it smells like! Looking at that picture, I remember the thrill of dumping out my pillowcase on the floor, suspiciously eyeballing my sister, to make sure she wasn't stealing my booty. Keeping an eye on my parents, who supervised the sorting, and I'm sure had to “quality test” my Junior Mints and Reeses. The smell of all that candy and packaging, the cheap Halloween make-up and rubber masks… it all comes rushing back as I look at that photo.
But back to the candy! One of my favorites, that I always picked through for first, were the “Oh Henry” bars… weird thing is, I don't think I've *ever* had a full-sized one! I've only ever had them in my Halloween treats… it makes them all the more special! Reeses have always been beloved as well, but that's pretty universal I think… I can also tell you that the stuff leftover come Thanksgiving? Those rock-hard bullets of Double Bubble that lost their flavor after 4 seconds of chewing… I made a decision a long long time ago to never give out that junk, and I've stuck to it!

Next week's prompt: 11/6/09 If money were no object, what would you do with your time?
