When thinking of an unhealthy snack most people think of candy. Now there are so many different types to choose from due to the wide variety. There are chocolates, gummies, gums, and even hard candies for people to choose from with a wide variety of flavors. However there are several superior choices to be made. Here are the top five. 

Skittles are a chewy, fruity candy that come in lime, grape, orange, lemon, and cherry. They have many variety packs to choose from like: original, tropical, sour, smoothie, and wild cherry. People can also get this candy in gummy packs. However the regular skittles are not the best, they tend to hurt sensitive teeth. Sour skittles also tend to leave sores in peoples mouth making them an unpleasant experience. Also the gummy form of this candy feels like they have a film on it, and are not as good.

Sour Patch Kids are a very good gummy candy that come in several different flavors. The original Kids pack has lime, lemon, orange, cherry, and blue raspberry. They also added other flavors like watermelon and strawberry. With several different themes packages like red, white, and blue, Big Kids and more. These candies compared to Skittles tend to be easier on people’s teeth, and do not leave sores in people’s mouths. However the sweet part of this candy outways the sour part of this candy. Most people can only taste the sour part for a few seconds until the sweetness overpowers. 

KitKat are wafers covered in chocolate which give it that sweet crunch that everyone enjoys. They are easily broken for easy sharing and eating. They also have a variety of flavors to choose from like: mint, strawberry, white chocolate, birthday cake, and so many other different flavors. The bars come in a variety of sizes for people to eat as well. However KitKats tend to be a very boring candy bar. Yes, they do come in different flavors, but it is just a favor covered in some sort of flavored chocolate.

Nerds Gummy Clusters are gummy balls covered in nerds candy. They have rainbow and wild berry flavors. They are a very addicting candy because of their taste and texture being crunchy and soft. They have also grown in popularity since they were released. 

Reeses are the best candy on the market. They have a sweet and salty taste to them and are very addicting. They can come in a variety of flavors like white, milk, and dark chocolate. The brand also started filling the peanut butter with things like: potato chips, Reese’s pieces, pretzels, and even more items. They also come in a wide variety of sizes and the company even started expanding to other forms of this tasteful candy like, chocolate and peanut butter covered pretzels, popcorn, reece’s sticks, and so many other options. Due to the variety of flavors, sizes, and options, this candy is the best.
