The battle over the best Halloween candy has been around for decades and it’s about time we settled it. It may not be basketball season, but we’re using a March Madness-inspired bracket to help us narrow down the competition.
Welcome to the #Sweetest16!
Every day, two candies will face off. Visit the WHAS11 Facebook or Twitter page and cast your vote on which sweet you think is best (click on the match-up of the day to access the Facebook vote). There will be a new vote every day until Halloween when the champion will be crowned.
You can view the bracket below or at this link (for app users).
