If this classic Halloween candy is your favorite, then your Halloween costume should be just as traditional. Try a timeless costume that everyone loves like a spooky ghost or a cute pumpkin.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup

The combination of chocolate and peanut butter is probably the best candy combo out there. If this is your favorite, then you and your BFF should team up to be a Halloween duo.

Couples costumes are for friends too so save the day as Batman and Robin or goof off like SpongeBob and Patrick, the options are endless. And since you love Reese’s, try making a Reese’s peanut butter cup banana milkshake.

Skittles

Just like your favorite candy, this Halloween you should be going bold and basically heading out without a wrapper. Your costume should def make heads turn at the Halloween party as you walk in.

Whether you’re swinging a bat like Beyoncé from her Lemonade video or dressing up as Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad, you should be the center of attention this Halloween.

Candy Corn

If you like candy corn, then you for sure love corny puns. Your costume this year should be a witty pun costume. So get ready for the groans and the confused looks because not everyone will get the joke—but at least you will.

#SpoonTip: Make blondies with your left over candy corn.

Because your not scared of this lip puckering candy, you should be something scary. Be a zombie and leave trick-or-treaters with a sour taste in their mouths.
