Best Target Halloween Candy: 5 Best Favorite Day Brand Candies We Tried

Target Halloween candy is next level this year. They’ve upped their seasonal game and now have an entire line of Favorite Day brand candy for you to hand out to trick-or-treaters.

I always buy my Halloween candy at Target because it’s convenient and affordable, and now I have even more choices! They have all the classics, but now they have their own unique products too. From gummies to hard candies to chocolate bars, this is the best Target brand Halloween candy. This list is for anyone who considers October 31st their Favorite Day (get it?).

Best Sour

Haunted House Super Sour Hard Candies with Bubble Gum Inside

These are so incredibly sour that my mouth is watering just thinking about them. They’re even more sour than Warheads. Personally, I would not buy them because I don’t think hard candy or gum are that good when compared to other candies out there. But! If you are going to give out this type of product on All Hallows Eve—or if you’re just looking for the most sour Halloween candy out there—this is the Target Halloween candy for you.

Frank’s Feast White Chocolate Birthday Cake Flavored Bars

Birthday cake-flavored anything is always going to be a hit with kids and adults alike. These little witch-themed Favorite Day brand birthday cake chocolate bars are so sweet and creamy. If you’re not a fan of ultra-sweet candy, I’d skip these. If you have a massive sweet tooth and/or love white chocolate, these are perfect for you!

Best Dupe

Dracula’s Dessert Filled Candy Straws

These are not “Dracula’s Dessert” (that would be blood, duh). These are an exact dupe for SweeTARTS Ropes. They come individually wrapped in pairs. And each rope is a combo flavor: watermelon-blueberry, strawberry-lime, or orange-pineapple. They’re sweet-tart Twizzler-like tubes filled with sweet cream. They sound weird, but they’re delicious! They’re the perfect treat to give out on Halloween or stash in an October lunchbox.

Best Gummy

Strawberry Flavored Gummy Brains

Gummy candy can vary so much. There can be a ton of different textures and flavors. Some even have fillings! Around Halloween time, we try so many different gummies that it makes my head spin. Luckily, I can stop my quest to find the best gummy Halloween candy in 2023 because I’ve found it: Favorite Day Gummy Brains. Out of all the Halloween candy at Target, this is my personal favorite. The strawberry flavor is just enough. The top of the gummy is jelly-like, while the bottom is more firm. Two different textures in one gummy is so fun!

Best of the Best

Popping Potion Milk Chocolate Bars with Popping Candy

Overall, the best Target Halloween candy is the Favorite Day brand milk chocolate bars with popping candy. It’s Pop Rocks meets a Hershey’s bar and we’re in love. The chocolate is rich and creamy. The popping is subtle, while still being fun. I think kids would have a ball with these. Our office full of adults also really loved them too. They’re the perfect combination of fun but also genuinely delicious. If you’re buying Halloween candy at Target, you simply must buy these.
