Boo! It’s October. Scary how quickly the month crept up on us! But now that it’s here, it’s time to start thinking about Halloween costumes and candy: What will you put in your party bowl or hand out to trick-or-treaters this year? The tried-and-trues are always good bets — and we all have our favorites. But it’s also fun to mix it up and try something different. Here are seven exciting new candy options that have arrived just in time for the season of ghosts, goblins and gobbling treats.

These packs of Jolly Ranchers brings all the tricks! The brand introduced their Trickies, a chewy version of their fan-favorite hard candies, last year, but now they come in convenient packets for trick-or-treat bowls. There's a also catch with these gummies — the different colors and shapes don't always match the corresponding flavor! Keep snacking on this candy bag and test your taste buds to figure out which flavor is which, even when the color and appearance are deceiving.

$6
Target

Hi-Chew candies sweeten the otherwise haunted season with these bite-sized chews pooled from a variety of their existing flavor mixes. This pack's flavors include watermelon, blue raspberry and candy apple, plus an all-new mystery flavor that will add some spooky suspense to your snacking experience. But if there's anything you need to beware this Halloween, it's how tempted you'll be to demolish the whole bag.

$25
Walmart

If you're not sure about handing out candy this year for trick-or-treating, this sweet and salty variety pack from Reese's is a great alternative. Enjoy peanut butter-flavored animal crackers, peanut butter filled pretzels and peanut bitter dipped pretzels that carry just the right amount of sweetness for a savory snack.

$13
Walmart

Hershey's ever-popular Cookies N' Creme flavor has previously come in a fang shape, but it wasn't a returner until now. The same size as a regular chocolate piece, these Halloween-themed ones have little fang indentations in them — hold them in front of your own mouth and you could be mistaken for a vampire! Add these chocolates to your movie night snack bar or pass them out to trick-or-treaters who love the stay spooky.

$3
Target

Nothing screams Halloween like a skull-shaped anything, and Twix understood the assignment with the release of this spooky candy bar. You can expect the same crunchy wafer and sticky caramel interior and rich milk chocolate exterior, but the classic bar shape is swapped with a detailed mummy-like shape. Need we say more?

$3
Target

Kit Kat counts made their debut last year, but this year, they're joined by witches. The classic breakaway crisp wafer now has a one adorable witch and one fang-tastic vampire in a king sized milk chocolate bar. They're certainly a perfect addition to your candy assortment this year.

$4
Walmart

If you're a big fan of Snickers, this classic bar gets a little chunker with the addition of an all-new pumpkin shape, packed with the brand's traditional peanuts, caramel and nougat. You'll be able to squash your chocolate cravings with this more subtle way to bring the Halloween spirit to spooky season.
