Best Candy Holiday Season?

[NDallasRuss]

As I found a single remaining Reese's white chocolate Easter egg, I wondered what the best candy holiday is.

Halloween arguably has the most candy, but it's almost all snack-size versions of normal candy.

Valentine's Day has a lot of candy, but largely in the context of heart-shaped boxes filled with chocolates.

Easter has a lot of different, specific candies - peeps, robin's eggs, cadbury eggs, etc.

Christmas seems to cover the longest period of time in which you can find/enjoy all kinds of candies - some unique to the season like chocolate covered cherries, candy canes, etc, plus regular candies in red/green, and the largest selection of homemade candies.

And maybe there's some other big candy holiday I'm missing because I'm an insensitive prick.

Thoughts? Strong opinions?


For your trouble, here are two young ladies enjoying and sharing their candy:

And this fella that seems to be enjoying the candy, but not really eating it:

Easter, AINEC.

I blame Reeces Peanut Butter Eggs and Cadbury mini eggs for my Type LXIX Diabetes.

Easter. I'll trample a starving Palestinian family if they stood between me and my beloved Reese's Eggs.

If you have Type LXIX diabetes, it's because you ate too much pie, not chocolate.

Halloween because nearly every candy known to man is available and I actually feel less guilty eating 50 mini sized chocolate bars. Easter is a close second though.

If you include the traditional homemade treats at Xmas, that wins. If just based on stuff in the store it's Easter. The Reese's eggs are the best of the eggs/pumpkins/trees.

Christmas for the homemade stuff and the little Debbie Christmas trees

Christmas, by a huge amount. It's the stuff that, for some reason, no one has the rest of the year.


Halloween is the candy that I ignore every other day of the year and am forced to eat because my wife buys twice as much as she needs because it's evidently a federal crime to run out and turn the light off.

Halloween because it's free and plentiful.

Those weird, dry, little pecan cookies with powdered sugar on them are my jam. I wouldn’t eat them year long but at a Christmas party I’m smashing a couple.
