They like chocolate but it's not in their top 5.

Anything not chocolate. They told be they get too much chocolate at Halloween so I let them choose.

Nerds, sour patch kids, skittles, twizzlers, gummy anything, starbursts, lollipops.

I cover all the bases. One bowl with candy containing nuts, one bowl with nut free candy and other foods (pretzels or Goldfish) and a bowl with non food items, like slime or Play Dough.

I have two kids, one with a nut allergy. They pick what they want at houses and then do a massive trade that night. It's actually pretty helpful to parents to note that almost all peanut candy comes in an orange or yellow package.

No allergies here, but my kids do this too. One prefers the Reeses, Snickers (no orange packaging) and the like, and the other prefers Twix, KitKat, etc. Clearly one likes peanuts and the other doesn't (which is good for them trading), but the common denominator is chocolate!

Snickers
Butterfingers


ANother that only wants:
Charm Blowpops/DumDums
Sourpatch kids or similar
Gummy bears or similar


So really, just buy whatever. Kids trade, or they eat it or don't. Can't please everyone, as more than 5 minutes on DCUM will show you.

My kid wants just the chocolate. Give him the Hershey's and he's a happy dude.

M&Ms - all the varieties.
