    Halloween Candy Field of 64

    So RJEL Girl needs to put together some breakout room for a virtual office Halloween party. She was going to do a Halloween Candy Bracket vote off. She's being lame and only doing a field of 16 to start with. She was researching top candies and then was going to match 1 vs 2, 3 vs 4, etc. I was like... amature! I know just the right group of geeks that do this shit for fun that we can crowd source this out to.

    She was going with 2 brackets:
    Chocolate based vs Other.

    Chocolate:
    Reeses Peanut Butter Cups (has to be #1)
    M&Ms
    Snickers
    Hershey Bars
    Kit Kat
    Twix
    Milkyway
    Butterfingers

    Non-Chocolate
    SourPatch Kids
    Candy Corn (how is this a #2?)
    Skittles
    Tootsie Pops
    Swedish Fish (this is a weak-ass bracket)
    Double Bubble
    Jolly Ranchers

    What, no Starbursts?!?

    Anyway, I'm pretty sure we could come up with a field of at least 32 here. With better Rankings... thoughts?
    I mean, we're missing Mr GoodBars, 3 Musketeers, Almond Joy, Nestle's Crunch right off the top right?
    I'm not expecting to grow flowers in the desert...

    Bottle caps
    Pop rocks
    Ring pop

    I could go on. How can we limit it to 64?

                      Rice cake and/or pennies from the old lady down the street need to be the sacrificial lamb as the 16 seed.

                        Most of the top tier candies have been listed, including all my favs. I will add one that is like butterfingers in that if you get them a bit stale or bite at the wrong angle, they can break your teeth, but are good if fresh and eaten carefully. Skor bars. I haven't had one in years, but remember them fondly--better than Heath bars.

                          40 years later, I still remember the guy in my apartment building who gave out little jars of Nutella. That guy is an all-time Halloween legend.

                            The ultimate 16th seed is a rock.

                              apple with a razor also a 16 seed

                              apple alone might sneak into a 15th seed
