Guess New Jersey’s favorite Halloween candy by the ingredients

Halloween in New Jersey is right around the corner. Let's play a fun Halloween candy game.

The Halloween Candy Ingredients Game

I think this is a fun game. I chose three of the Garden State's favorite Halloween candies, and I researched each sweet treat's ingredients.

The way the game works is first, I list the ingredients of all three candies. If you can guess the candy just by the ingredients, you get one point. If you get two points, you win. Let's play.
