Are they absurdly expensive for gummy bears? Absolutely. Am I still tempted every time I walk past a Sugarfina store? Also yes.
They're made with real Champagne and have this delicate fruity flavor that's so different from regular gummies. The little candy cubes are adorable too.
They're basically grown-up Halloween candy. Something about eating fancy gummy bears while watching a terrible horror movie feels like the perfect October activity.
Just FYI, they're not alcohol-free, so definitely one for the adults.
Kinder Bueno Minis. I know they're not specifically Halloween candy, but they're what I'd sneak into my own candy bowl.
I love the contrast between the crispy wafer shell and that smooth hazelnut filling. They feel a little more like a proper chocolate treat than the usual Halloween candy.
And the mini size is dangerous because you convince yourself you're only having one. I also appreciate that they're individually wrapped, so you can keep a little stash in a desk drawer without committing to opening an entire chocolate bar.

Adults who take Halloween candy selection way too seriously
Under $50
