Halloween candy isn’t just for trick-or-treaters.
If you’re stocking up on flower for Halloween night, consider this your excuse to raid the candy aisle too. Sweet, sour, fruity, chocolatey, or ridiculously peanut buttery, there’s a Halloween candy for just about every flavor profile.
We paired some of our Preston Herb Co. greenhouse flower favorites with classic Halloween candy based on their flavor profiles.
No science here. Just good flower, good candy, and Halloween.
Lazer Gun: Apple · Candy · Vanilla
The Candy: Jolly Ranchers
This one practically paired itself.
Lazer Gun brings a candy-forward profile with crisp green apple, sugary fruit, smooth vanilla cream, and a light touch of gas. Grab a handful of Jolly Ranchers, especially green apple, and you've got a Halloween pairing that goes all-in on sweet, fruity flavor.
Halloween Mood: Horror-comedy marathon with a giant bowl of candy between you and the couch.
Blueberry Gas: Berry · Blueberry · Cream · Gas
The Candy: Nerds Gummy Clusters
Sweet meets loud.
Blueberry Gas starts with berry, blueberry, creamy fruit, and pastry-like sweetness before the gas comes through. Nerds Gummy Clusters bring plenty of bright fruit and sweet-tart flavor to go along with it.
Halloween Mood: Scream on the TV, lights off, candy disappearing considerably faster than expected.
Peanut Butter Breath: Nutty · Earthy · Woody
The Candy: Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
We weren't going to overthink this one.
The nutty, earthy profile of Peanut Butter Breath makes Reese's the obvious Halloween companion. Chocolate and peanut butter bring the sweetness while the flower stays on the deeper, savory side.
Halloween Mood: Sitting outside passing out candy and quietly hoping nobody takes the last Reese's.
Peach Diesel: Tree Fruit · Sour · Diesel
The Candy: Sour Patch Kids
Sweet. Sour. A little loud.
Peach Diesel brings ripe peach and apricot notes before moving into citrus, sour earthiness, and diesel. Sour Patch Kids lean directly into that sweet-and-sour contrast.
Bonus points if you can find the peach ones.
Halloween Mood: Friends over, scary movies queued up, and absolutely no plans for tomorrow morning.
Sub Zero: Citrus · Sweet · Diesel
The Candy: Skittles
Taste the rainbow. Then bring the gas.
Sub Zero starts with bright citrus, sweet fruit, and creamy dessert notes before its pungent diesel side starts showing up. Skittles keep the pairing bright, sweet, and fruit-forward.
Halloween Mood: A little bit of everything. Costumes, movies, snacks, friends, and somebody inevitably eating all the red Skittles.
Super Mochi: Creamy · Sweet · Fruity
The Candy: Starburst
Super Mochi's creamy, sweet, fruity profile calls for something equally juicy and candy-forward.
Enter Starburst.
Grab a variety pack and let the fruit flavors do their thing.
Halloween Mood: Cozy Halloween. Sweatshirt on, lights low, Hocus Pocus playing, nowhere else to be.
The Candy: Twix
Sometimes Halloween calls for chocolate.
The caramel, cookie, and chocolate combination of a Twix gives you a richer option after all the sour and fruit candy floating around on Halloween night.
Also, there's no complicated reasoning required here.
Twix is good.
Don't see your favorite strain?
There's really only one rule: match flavors you already enjoy.
Got something fruity? Reach for Starburst, Skittles, Nerds, or Jolly Ranchers.
Something citrusy or sour? Sour Patch Kids are an easy move.
Earthy, nutty flower? Break into the chocolate and peanut butter section of the candy bowl.
Creamy or dessert-forward genetics? Chocolate, caramel, cookies, and other richer candy flavors are worth trying.
Or completely ignore our recommendations and pair your favorite flower with your favorite candy.
It's Halloween. That's allowed.
Candy? Check.
Flower? Check.
The only thing left is deciding what to watch.
If you're stuck scrolling through streaming apps instead of actually watching something, check out our Ultimate Halloween Movie Marathon Guide for scary classics, horror comedies, nostalgic favorites, and movies that are genuinely terrifying.
Then put the phone down and press play.
If you're enjoying adult products on Halloween, keep them completely separate from the candy you're handing out to trick-or-treaters.
Store cannabis products securely and out of reach of children and pets, and keep your personal stash clearly separated from regular Halloween treats.
Nobody wants that kind of Halloween surprise.
However you're spending October 31, make it a good one.
Pick your flower. Grab your favorite candy. Queue up something scary. Order the pizza.
And maybe hide a few Reese's before everyone else gets there.
Happy Halloween from Preston Herb Co.
