25 Forgotten Halloween Candies That Took Over American Tables in the 1960s!

Every American porch light that flicked on in October of the 1960s meant the same thing to a kid clutching a pillowcase — somewhere behind that screen door sat a bowl of Halloween candy. These are 25 forgotten Halloween candies from the 1960s, counted down from the ones every house handed out to the ones only the luckiest kids ever found: candy corn, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Snickers, Milky Way, Three Musketeers, Butterfinger, Baby Ruth, Hershey's Miniatures, Starburst, SweeTarts, Smarties, Bazooka bubble gum, Necco Wafers, and Hershey Special Dark. This is pure Halloween nostalgia and retro Halloween history for every baby boomer who remembers trick-or-treating in the 1960s. Oh Henry! bars, Bit-O-Honey, Mike and Ike, Dubble Bubble, Pixy Stix, Brach's candy, Mars six-packs, Boston Baked Beans, candy buttons, homemade candy apples, and the popcorn balls that closed out the whole countdown — every one of them a piece of American nostalgia from the decade when Halloween candy became a national tradition.
