LAist's Ultimate Halloween Candy Ranker Quiz

It's election season! It's that time of year when you go to the polls and make your voice heard on important issues... like whether chocolate-covered peanut butter is better than chocolate-covered caramel and whether gummy candies are superior to coconut-based ones. That's right, it's our Halloween candy ranker quiz.
In the past, we've asked our KPCC audience which candies they love — and which candies they love to hate. Now, we're asking our LAist audience to vote for their favorite and least favorite candies in our super scientific quiz.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere. LAist is now 100% community funded and that means we’re taking our future into our own hands and turning to you to keep local reporting strong.
