Throughout the year, Twix is available at most grocery stores, generally located near the register or in the candy aisle. A Twix chocolate bar comes in a pack of two cookies and retails for $1.39. The Mars company that owns Twix sells a large bag of “fun” sized Twix for Halloween. This candy bag is typically sold for $6-10 depending on the size.

“Sour. Sweet. Gone,” is the slogan of Sour Patch Kids, a sour gummy candy. Its acidic exterior and chewy interior make for a perfect and addicting treat.
