If you grew up craving candy bars as a child, you knew that Halloween was the most exciting holiday of the year. You could get every different kind of candy known to man just by knocking on people's doors. It was hard work with one heck of a payoff. The best part about it was the fact that you were introduced to new candies that you may have never heard of (or if you had sneaky parents, candies you were told were for adults). Upon tasting these new additions to your arsenal, you figured out what you loved he best about candy and what you wanted to avoid. You may have thought that coconut was the devil's sweet and pushed more toward caramel. You may have looked at a Baby Ruth and threw it to the dog (not recommended). Whatever your preference in candy, you could probably spot your favorite from a mile away.Â
If you consider yourself a connoisseur of candy bars, we have the quiz that will prove your true skills. We've selected 40 candy bars that you may or may not recognize from your childhood (and now). Test your skills and see if you can identify each of them from just one image.
Butterfingers claimed to be "crispity and crunchity and peanut buttery." For the most part, however, the innards of the candy bar simply got stuck in your teeth. If you were into that sort of thing, this was your favorite candy bar.

Baby Ruth

Crunch
Krackle

Rolo
Caramello
Slo Poke
