For a kid on Halloween, nothing is worse than finding terrible candy in your trick-or-treat haul.

Be a responsible adult, and check out 12 of the worst Halloween candies you can give out.

12. Pixy Stix

Literally just pure sugar in a tube. Not only are these not kids' favorites, but you're making the parents' Halloween even worse.

11. Candy Buttons

Sure, they're cute, but there's nothing exciting, or tasty, about them.

10. Almond Joy

Almonds don't belong in candy. Enough said.

Disks that taste like chalk are not an ideal way to celebrate Halloween night.

8. Wax Lips

Do you want to eat wax? No? Then don't give it out to the kids.

7. Necco Wafers

Something that was created when James Polk was president probably doesn't belong in the Halloween candy haul.

6. Tootsie Roll

As if acknowledging its bland flavor, the official description of a Tootsie Roll includes the phrase "mildly chocolatey flavor."

5. Twizzlers

The official slogan of Twizzlers should be "at least it's better than black licorice."

4. Black Licorice

The Satan of Halloween candy.

3. Raisinets

Raisins aren’t good anyway and covering them in chocolate isn't much of an improvement.

2. Circus Peanuts

Fake peanuts, need I say more?

1. Candy Corn

With three types of dye and gelatin, candy corn tastes like wax and has been disappointing children since the 19th century.
