As a kid, we all knew the best houses to stop by on Halloween. You know the ones, the houses that were decked out with over-the-top decorations, flashing lights, and loads upon loads of the best candy. I'm not talking the suckers that you get from the doctor's office or the fruit-flavored tootsie rolls—although they are pretty good. I mean the full-size, even super-sized chocolate candy bars. These houses would draw the crowds, and envy, of their closest neighbors.
So if you find yourself getting more excited for Halloween than any other holiday, it's time to step up your candy-slinging game. Thankfully, there are a number of luxury chocolatiers and candy makers that take sweets as seriously as you, and they offer a selection of some of the most luxe (and gory) options around.
Whether you decide to hand these out to the kids with the best costumes, reserve them for your own children, or simply hide them from everyone and eat them yourself, these are the high-end candies you need to get this Halloween.
Red Mini Skulls
These creepy mini skulls are made with a chocolate casing filled with a gianduja of macadamias, almonds, and hazelnuts. Sold as a set of three, these chocolate skulls are both gory and delicious.
Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Truffle Flight
Known for their delicious chocolate, Godiva is the mecca for anyone with a sweet tooth and these pumpkin spice truffles won't disappoint. The flight comes in a set of three, each with five individually-wrapped pieces, so you don't have to give the whole package to one visitor.
Pumpkin Malt Balls
A unique spin on traditional malted milk balls, these treats by Williams Sonoma offer a fall twist. Milk chocolate malt balls are coated with an additional layer of spicy pumpkin candy and wrapped up in a small package that's perfect for a Halloween treat.
Pumpkin Caramels

Sugarfina's Bourbon Bears
Definitely not a treat to pass out to kids trick-or-treating, these bourbon bears are strictly meant for the 21-and-over crowd. Actually made with a splash of Blanton's Single-Barrel Bourbon, these gummies offer a small bite with a sweet finish.
