From bizarre and scary insect lollipops to
spooky candy body parts, we count 15 weird and gross Halloween candy treats,
both sweet and savory.
Number 15.
Maggot Toffee Apples. Made by Hotlix.com, these toffee apples are apparently a healthy
nutritious snack for your kids this Halloween. The creators claim the maggots are clean and
have been fed on apple, banana and oatmeal. They may well be healthy but they're still
the sort of maggots you'd expect to find on a rotting corpse.
Number 14. Vampire Repelling Garlic Mints. Made by Archie
McPhee, these mints are perfect for protecting yourself from the odd vampire attack. With
potent garlic breath you'll not only keep the vampires away, but most likely everyone
in your office, your family and the majority of people in your neighborhood as well.
Number 13. Insect Lollipops. Another mouthwatering treat
from Hotlix.com. These lollipops are available in a variety of fabulous colors and flavors,
each with their own exciting surprise waiting inside! Once you've licked off the candy,
you're treated to a crunchy insect. Available in scorpion, cricket, worm and ant flavor. Yummy!
Number 12.
Zit Poppers. Plump and ripe, as it says on the packet, these are no simple pimples. Fruit
flavored gummies shaped like a zit, each has a sticky gooey filling that comes in strawberry
and watermelon flavors. They're so gross, you might as well be eating a real zit. Or
maybe not. Number 11.
Oven Baked Tarantula. Healthy oven baked, not fried. A delicacy in Cambodia, these crunchy
black, hairy spiders are cooked ready to eat or can be warmed up in the microwave. Full
eating instructions come with this snack because putting too much in your mouth at once results
in too many sharp, stiff legs jabbing at your gums from various directions, making the spider
seem alive. Probably not the sensation you were looking for.
Number 10. Ear Wax Candy. With a plastic container shaped
like a human ear, Ear Wax Candy is supposed to look like gelatinous earwax but is actually
fruit flavored gel. In addition to this unusual holder, you can also get marshmallow cotton
swabs, so you can get right in there. Number 9.
Toasted Giant Ants. A delicacy of South American Indians. These crispy insects can measure
up to 2 cm, and have a nutty bacon flavor. I'm not sure if these account for one or two
of your five-a-day, as these can easily be mistaken for raisins and sultanas.
Number 8. Gummy Flesh Fries. If zombies opened a fast
food chain I'd imagine these would go down a treat. Complete with a French fry box, these
fingers are soft and slimy with a watermelon flavor. Not as gross as real fingers but I'd
imagine that would be fairly illegal. Number 7.
Urine Sample. It looks like someone actually found a way to recycle all those used sample
pots. These realistic looking urine samples actually contain delicious sour candy. Guys
your girlfriend would never know, when you tear off the 'Sterile' label and toss back
a few swigs on your next date. But if she says you're breath smells of pee, you obviously
picked up the wrong one. Number 6.
Blood Bag Candy. No matter what your blood type, your body won't reject this delicious
sweet blood. Red liquid candy is packaged in real looking blood bags that comes with
a handy IV tube. The blood is strawberry flavor and is vegan friendly.
Number 5. Bacon and Cheese Flavored Crickets. These
crispy protein rich treats are perfect for those with diabetes or just sick of sweet
candy. They come in three flavors, Sour Cream & Onion, Salt N' Vinegar and Bacon & Cheese.
The best flavor is apparently Bacon & Cheese but perhaps it's because it covers up the
taste of cricket slightly better. Number 4.
Body Part Sushi. Impress your friends by serving them chewy eyeball and brain rolls wrapped
in gummy seaweed and severed fingers, noses and ears gently nestled on beds of gummy rice.
Each packet comes with a pair of chopsticks. They may only be candy but this sushi looks
pretty disgusting. Number 3.
Larvets. More yummy savory delights. These dried mealworms are actually an extremely
popular source of nutrition in Asia, Africa and South America. They're even sold in vending
machines alongside crickets, scorpions and butterflies. They come in a few different
flavors, BBQ, Cheddar Cheese and fiery Mexican Spice, so you'll never get bored.
Number 2. Brain Candy. Think Geek's Gummy Brain candy
comes with delicious strawberry flavored brain parts and a small vial of cherry flavored
liquid candy blood. Packaged like a tasty cut of meat you'd find in your local supermarket.
This candy is sure to freak out the youngsters and is one of the best looking 'normal' candy
for Halloween. Number 1.
Chili Candy. Made with real chili peppers ranging from the mild Jalapeno to the inferno
of the Ghost Pepper, these things are the perfect treat for those annoying brats next
door. As with most candy, everyone loves the red ones. Unfortunately for those poor gullible
kids, this particular candy will most probably blow their head off.
And that's it for this nasty countdown, as always thanks for watching.
