For me it would be candy corn, or dots.

Lol, you're something else, candy corn?? That stuff is vile.

The worst I can say about dots is they're just sugar, albeit glued to paper.

Will you come organize my candy bowl this year? ๐Ÿ˜†

In the US, dots are hard gumdrops.

Also, if your candy corn sucks, it's because it's not Brach's.

In the US dots can also refer to candy buttons as well as the gross gumdrops

[โ€“] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I like the gross gumdrops, but I don't care for the acid blotters.

[โ€“] Cort@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Lol, not a fan of either but at least you get some fiber when the paper sticks to the candies

[โ€“] Rolando@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I was going to agree, but I haven't had Brach's candy corn in a while, every so often those large companies change the formula to make things cheaper* so it's hard to be sure.

*latest fad

I had it the other week. Still great.

You really need to try mixing the candy corn with salted peanuts. ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ๐Ÿ‘„๐Ÿ‘๏ธ๐Ÿ‘Œ

I was gonna say the same. Always hated candy corn till someone had me try this.
