Missoula, MT (KGVO-AM News) - As Halloween approaches, there's an electric buzz in the air here in Missoula. The leaves are turning, the days are getting shorter, and everywhere I look, decorations are popping up.

It’s that time of year when costumes, spooky movies, and, of course, candy reign supreme. This year, I decided to dig a little deeper into the Halloween spirit by asking our community what their favorite Halloween candy really is. 

Let me tell you, the results were pretty surprising. I found myself agreeing with the top choice, but you all lost me after that. I don’t want to spoil anything, but many of my favorites did not get a single vote. Missoulians clearly love their chocolate. I love chocolate too, but I much prefer gummy and fruity candies.

Laffy Taffy is one of my all-time favorites. Right behind that is Airheads. A new go-to for me has been the Nerds Gummy Clusters. Those have become super popular but also didn’t get a vote. 

Now, the moment of truth is almost here. I’ve compiled all the votes and can’t wait to share the top contenders with you! Will it be the classic chocolate bars that have stood the test of time? Or perhaps something more unconventional that reflects Missoula’s quirky charm?
