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.
At LAist, we focus on what matters to our community: clear, fair, and transparent reporting that helps you make decisions with confidence and keeps powerful institutions accountable.
