Discover Lubbock’s Halloween Candy Favorites: Reeses, M&Ms, And More!
Hey, Lubbock, it’s candy season! We asked some of you what your absolute favorite treats are, and some of the results are as classic as they are sweet. And some are not quite as 'classic'!
Let’s start with the timeless classic—Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Susie Landoll likes hers with caramel, while Dwayne Stretch and Lynda Rogers are all about that pure peanut butter-and-chocolate combo. Reese's are an all-time favorite of just about everyone.
Christopher Bueno has a sweet spot for M&M’s in all their glorious forms—milk chocolate, peanut, and even pretzel. Those little guys are perfect for grabbing by the handful. And if it’s a bit of crunch you’re after, long-time listener, Buzz Barton swears by the Nestle Crunch bar. (I honestly didn't think ANYONE would pick the Crunch bar as their favorite!)
Then we have the tangy and nostalgic: Brittany Bell goes for Sweet Tarts and Smarties, while Shanan Carter is a die-hard candy corn fan. Candy corn is divisive--you either LOVE it or HATE it--for Shanan, it’s all love. (I love the stuff too! Mix some with salted peanuts and you've got the exact flavor of a Payday!)
For something unique, Elizabeth Tyler says butterscotch salt water taffy from Candy Girl on 50th is her treat of choice. And if you’re craving a little retro flavor, Teresa Cale reaches for Bit-O-Honey.
And here’s one that’s a true Texas treat—Roseanne Decker loves homemade popcorn balls. It doesn’t get more old-school than that!
So, what’s your favorite candy, fellow West Texans? Whatever it is, make sure to stock up for Halloween and try to hand out at least a FEW pieces to the trick-or-treaters!
