" But , I mean , hot chocolate and coconut ? I ’m in . " — Kelly Clarkson
Halloween is almost here, which means trick-or-treating is about to be in full swing. If you still have to pick up Halloween candy and need some inspiration, take a look at some of the sugary sweets these celebrities can’t live without.
1.Viola Davis: Werther’s Original
“I sneak the Werther’s in my mouth late at night. I do, like, two or three in my mouth, and then the next day I get on the scale [and] go, ‘I can’t lose any weight.’ And then my husband is like, ‘Ya, ‘cause you really, really good,'” Viola said onJimmy Kimmel Livein February. “He doesn’t know that I polish off about seven to eight of those Werther’s late at night. Sometimes he hears the crunchin’. But I have the sugar-free bag of Werther’s, I have the regular bag of Werther’s, I have the sugar-free gummies, [and] I have the regular gummies.”
2.Patrick Mahomes: Starburst
“I know there’s a bunch of debate about this, but the red flavor is definitely the best. I like the pink, too, but red, come on. Let’s end the debate,” Patrick toldGQlast month about Starburst, noting he’s also a fan of Jolly Rancher Gummies.
3.Bill Nye: Life Savers
“This is a go-to product, people. Now when I was young, Life Savers came in a roll. But I think the mothers of the world have cracked down on potentially unhygienic presentation of a traditional roll of Live Savers,” he toldFirst We Feast, which is owned by BuzzFeed, in May. Bill later went on to say, “When you taste a candy, like this exquisite Life Saver, it’s getting you deep in your brain, man. If we can go back in time, hang out with Og the cave guy [and] Ogette the cave woman, and showed them Life Savers, they’d be like, ‘Wow man, man from the future, this rocks. How long do I have to wait?’ Well, if you’re a cave guy in NorthernFrance, I guess, like, 17,000 years or something.”
4.Caleb McLaughlin: Jolly Ranchers
“I know a lot of people love the blue raspberry. I wouldn’t blame you,” Caleb toldFirst We Feastin June. “I just don’t know what it is: Have you ever had blue raspberry in the summer? It’s, like, hot outside, you got, like, a cold drink. Maybe even just, like, a Sprite or something. You drink it and had this in your [mouth]? Man, this is, like, heaven.”
5.Travis Kelce: Butterfinger
“I f**k with Butterfingers,” Travis said on his podcastNew Heightsin April. “Love a good Butterfinger. That’s my movie candy.” He also shouted out Skittles and Gobstoppers as other faves.
The Easter vacation had Jason and Travis debating the best confect of all - time 😂
6.Karol G: Bon Bon Bum
“This [is] everywhere for everything. Even when you go to parties and [a] disco, you’re going to find girls just dancing and [they] have the Bon Bon Bum. That’s super normal,” she toldFirst We Feastin February. “They [remind] me a lot [of] my childhood because [I] used to [do] a lot of things just to get one Bon Bon Bum.”
7.Michael Ealy: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
“Them cats go to sleep, I sit on the couch, [and] I start combing through,” Michael Ealy said while chatting with Kelly Clarkson on her talk show last year about dipping into their kids’ Halloween candy collections. “I get all the Reese’s Cups that I can, and I leave, like, one or two in there, in their baskets, so that they don’t feel like they’ve been stolen. I put [Reese’s] in the freezer, and I hide them in a special spot in the freezer.”
8.Jon Bernthal: Dubble Bubble
“I really can’t say enough good about Dubble Bubble,” Jon toldGQlast year. “I am addicted to it. When I see it, I have to kind of put it in my mouth. I am a big gum enthusiast. I’m constantly chewing gum on set. This is like a little burst of heaven. If I see it in a store, I gotta buy it. I love me some Dubble Bubble. It doesn’t last that long, but good things don’t always last forever, you know what I mean? I just can’t say enough good about Dubble Bubble.”
9.Xolo Maridueña: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
“I used to really be into Twix and Snickers. Now gotta eat my protein, so I’m on the peanut butter grind right now. These are delicious,” he toldFirst We Feastlast year. “Sweet. Have one of them and call it a day.”
10.Jimmy O. Yang: White Rabbit
“This has [become], like, a cultural icon,” Jimmy told First We Feast in 2021, noting the candy is wrapped in an edible paper. According toCNN, it’s rice paper. “I always thought, like, my parents [were] playing a trick with me, like, ‘Oh, just eat the paper.’ But, no, it melts in your mouth. It’s a part of the whole thing, and you eat the whole candy.”
11.Awkwafina: Raisinets
“It’s usually a mixed bag with eating first thing in the morning,” she told Harper’s Bazaar in 2021. “If there was a bag of Raisinets, let’s say, from the night before, I’ll sometimes be that person who, like, before I even open my eyes, like, a hand’s going in there, and it’s shovelin' in. Or I could have, like, an entire pot roast at, like, 7:00 a.m., like I’m one of those people. Or I don’t eat until 4:00 p.m.”
12.Lucy Hale: Smart Sweets
“They have these peach rings. They have Swedish Fish, gummy bears, sour gummy bears. I think it’s, like, less than 100 calories per bag, and it’s not like you get three pieces. That’s why I’m always so pissed off. You get a bag of candy, and it’s, like, three pieces for 200 calories. No, this bag. You get, like, 15 pieces,” Lucy toldHarper’s Bazaarin 2020 about Smart Sweets.
13.Chrissy Teigen: Gummy Bears
In 2018, Chrissy tweeted out a few candy takes, including her love for gummy bears. “The best gummy bear is the clear gummy bear. This isn’t up for debate. You either agree or you’re wrong,” she said, before noting in follow-up tweets that the best Skittle flavor is purple (then red next), and the Starburst flavor is pink, “obviously.” In the years since, she’s also publicly praisedBlow Pop Minis, as well asTootsie Rolls and Smarties.
The best gummy bear is the open sticky bear . This is n’t up for argumentation . You either correspond or you ’re wrong
14.Kelly Clarkson: Mounds
In a 2019 YouTube video, Kelly ranked Mounds as the best Halloween candy…after trying one for the first time. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a Mound. But, I mean, chocolate and coconut? I’m in. Sounds like a party,” Kelly said in aYouTube videofor her talk show in 2019. After trying Mounds in the video, Kelly reacted, “Hell yeah. Woah, Mounds are good.”
15.Finally, Kourtney Kardashian: Kit Kat
In 2016, Kourtney uploaded aYouTube videooutlining her six-step way to eating a Kit Kat that she says her sister Kim taught her how to do as kids. “By the way, this tastes so much better. I would never even dream to eat a Kit Kat and just, like, bite into it,” she said in the video.
