Halloween is right around the corner, which means group costumes are being planned and stress levels are high. As we grow older we tend to forget about the best part of Halloween: the excuse to eat absurd amounts of candy. Trying to decide what your signature candy should be for this holiday season is overwhelming, too many choices, so why not let your astrological sign do it for you. Here is what Halloween candy you should eat based off your zodiac sign:  

Aries: Sour Patch Kids

Dive into a box of these sugary sour candies Aries because Sour Patch Kids are your candy of choice!
