What is the Worst Halloween Candy?

You could give me honeycrisps hybridized with Fujis and my 12 year old self would throw them at your house or car.
Fun fact: artificial banana flavor is based on a variety of banana called the gros Michel that nearly went extinct in the 50s. Prior to that, it was the top banana (sorry!) but is now practically unheard-of.
My parents bought several large bags of them on clearance after Halloween one year when I was in early elementary school. Every year they would pass out those peanut butter nasties, stored from the same black garbage bag. We were the laughing stock of the neighborhood. When my siblings and I returned to school on Nov 1, we hung our heads.
That garbage bag - no joke - lasted until I was in high school. The nasties got so stale you'd have to microwave them to soften them up. Ants got into them - they still passed them out (telling kids that the ants were "sesame seeds.")
Then, two years ago, my dad told me that due to his health (having had strokes, etc.) that he was going to stop passing out candy for Halloween. He wanted to give me all the candy he had left from the previous year. And I am kidding you not: he had peanut butter nasties.

No accounting for taste, I guess.
To be fair, I don't give out apples, but I happily take them.
At our house, we give out chemical lightsticks and full-sized candy bars every year. We live in an isolated neighborhood and the weather is often terrible, so we don't get a whole lot of trick-or-treaters--usually fewer than 10--which means we can afford to give out the really good stuff.

My great Gran grew up in a pig farming family during the depression. Every Halloween she would give out popcorn balls she made. Popcorn mixed in corn syrup. Not nasty, but not great. She did this even though she did have money in her twilight years. Those life lessons never died for her.
Before looking at the list, I would have said:
Just because they're a common one I actively don't like. Some of the others would be worse if I actually ran into them.
And, whoever voted against Almond Joy? I will happily trade every single other thing we have for that.
Finally, shout out to those who give out twizzlers, gummies, smarties, skittles, and starburst. The peanut allergic kids (which knocks out some chocolate brands too) really appreciate them!

American candy across the board tends to be disgusting, in the list provided the only thing I would eat is Werthers Original.

I gave out carrots and muesli bars one year - strangely I didnt get many visits.

I just had to change my vote to "Other" because I just remembered the worst Halloween candy of all time--and I'm shocked that nobody has mentioned it at all yet: candy wax.
WAX IS NOT FOOD, PEOPLE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
At least apples are edible.
