It's October. Halloween costumes are being brainstormed. Giant spider decorations are creeping out neighbors and zombie arms are sticking up through lawns. But even more important than all of that is the candy. Spooky candy choices are plentiful this year. Whether you choose gross or traditional, the candy (usually) lasts beyond October 31st. Make sure you've got a solid selection like this list we've put together.
