Sick of those miniature “fun-sized” M&Ms and other sweet candies? Try out some Asian candy to spook up your taste buds!

I never enjoyed trick-or-treating. I just went for the sake of my friends. Getting all this candy made me gain at least a good 5-10 pounds, but I would have to swim it all off. Also, eating too much of those candies every time is a bit boring to your mouth.

Here is my top 5 Asian candies and snacks that you should buy and hand out to trick-or-treaters for Halloween:

1. Hi-Chew. Think of this like Starburst, except softer, tastier, and it even has this gum feeling. It feels like a gum, then it disappears after 10 seconds because you couldn’t resist swallowing such a tasty candy. My favorite is the strawberry-flavored ones. I believe they are a Japanese/Korean candy. (Pictured above.)

2. Choco-pie. Personally, I like mine frozen. Choco-pies are like s’mores minus the Hershey’s chocolate and the fire. Basically, it’s chocolate and marshmallow. There is bread separating those two loveable sweets. It’s so good.

3. Pocky. Pocky isn’t really a candy, but it’s better in my opinion. It’s a stick covered with dark chocolate. I personally think this is instantly a favorite for anyone who puts their first Pocky stick in their mouth.

4. Japanese Fruit Gummies. They’re sweet, taste like fruit and like a jelly!

5. Chocolate Mushrooms. No they aren’t mushrooms, but they are in the shape of mushrooms. The mushroom head is chocolate and the stem is the stick. It’s like Pocky but shaped differently.

Those are some of the MANY I can think of. If you have time, you should definitely try them out! Happy Halloween! What are your picks of Asian candy or snacks?
