LAist's ultra scientific Halloween candy ranker proves Reese's is best candy bar ever
A few weeks ago, LAist asked readers to get out and vote in what might be the most important election in a generation.

They also asked readers to vote in LAist's Ultimate Halloween Candy Ranker Quiz, which was divided into three categories:
