Raisins rock, especially those yogurt covered ones, and my kids agree. Oh, and they also hate candy corn (love peeps though…). And black liquorice is good if you get high quality black liquorice, but you’re not getting that on Halloween.
As a kid, you’ll take sugar if offered. If you give a random kid a bucket of assorted candy, you can bet candy corn will be among the last eaten. Here’s a list of much better candies, all commonly handed out at Halloween:
Skittles
Air heads
Laffy Taffy
Snickers
Milky Way
3 Musketereers
Tootsie Rolls
Lolipops/Suckers
Caramels
Butterscotch hard candy
Jolly Ranchers
Starburst
Milk Duds
Dots
Sour Patch Kids
Warheads
M&Ms
Reese’s Pieces/Cups
Butterfinger
Some of those many kids don’t like (some kids don’t like peanuts or peanut butter, some don’t like chocolate, etc), but most kids will like most of those more than candy corn. I could also list a bunch more that fit that bill.
I’m not saying candy corn is dead last, I’m saying it’s really low on the tier list. There are worse candies, yes, but there are tons of better candies.
