The Best Classic Halloween Candy, According to Your Zodiac Sign

Megan Parry
Oct 15, 2017

You’ve ordered your unicorn costume on eBay, perfected your pumpkin smoothie recipe, and have your spookiest decorations perfectly crafted — you’re (almost) ready for Halloween. The only thing missing? Your candy stash. And since you’re well past the age of trick-or-treating, you’ve got to choose your candy all on your own, which is no easy feat since there are so many options! As usual though, we’ve got your back. We’ve already figured out your most surprising personality trait — now it’s time to determine what’s best for your sign’s sweet tooth.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 20 to FEBRUARY 18)

Sour Patch Kids: Your independent streak and original worldview mean you often get misconstrued as a rebel without a cause, Aquarius, which couldn’t be further from the case. While you may have to push a few buttons to see the change you know is needed, your goal is always to bring about a positive impact. These sugary, tart-then-sweet gummies are totally up your air-sign alley.

PISCES (FEBRUARY 19 to MARCH 20)

Airheads: No shade, Pisces. It’s not that you don’t have anything going on up there — it’s actually quite the opposite. As a thoughtful water sign with a tendency toward the spiritual, you’re just always in your own head. Naturally, these chewy, fruity taffy candies are just what you need to bring a little fun to your day.

 ARIES (MARCH 21 to APRIL 19)

Hot Tamales: You’re bold, fearless, and love to take risks, Aries, which means you’re more than on board with a handful of Hot Tamales. Seriously, as the most fire sign-y of all the fire signs, there’s no doubt you’d rather have something spicy than something sweet.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 to MAY 20)

Dove Promises: You’ll happily trade all your “fun mix” bars for a single Dove chocolate square, Taurus, since you know that quality always beats quantity. It’s true: You prefer your indulgences to be as luxurious as possible, and these creamy, chocolaty squares are a simple, sensual, not-in-the-least scary pleasure.

GEMINI (MAY 21 to JUNE 20)

Nerds: We mean this in the best way, Gemini. It’s just that you love learning so much, you’re the coolest nerd we know. These tiny sweet, tart, crunchy candies are a perfect accompaniment to your Halloween Wikipedia wanderings through the history of haunted houses.

CANCER (JUNE 21 to JULY 22)

Swedish Fish: Water dwellers unite, right, Cancer? You’ve got an affinity for anything oceanic, which means you’re definitely reaching for these cherry-flavored gummies come October. Plus, there’s just something so soothing about the perfectly chewy texture that only a Swedish Fish can provide.

LEO (JULY 23 to AUGUST 22)

Skittles: You’re the life of the party wherever you go, Leo, and everyone seems drawn to your warm demeanor and welcoming personality. Which is exactly why you should stock up on Skittles this Halloween season, since the only things more fun at a costume party than you are these fruit-flavored chewies.

VIRGO (AUGUST 23 to SEPTEMBER 22)

Candy Corn: As a perfectionist-slash-purist, you like your cookies chocolate chip, your popsicles cherry, and your Halloween candy, well, corn. You’re of the mindset that if you’re going to do a holiday, you may as well do it the right way, which means indulging in its most festive offering — the humble, three-tiered candy corn.

LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 to OCTOBER 22)

Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins: It’s a scientific fact that peanut butter and chocolate is the most perfect flavor combination on Earth.* We know you’re all about that balance, Libra, which means you can really get down with one of these perfectly proportioned pumpkins. Plus, we know how much you hate making decisions, and this duo gives you the best of both worlds.

* Don’t look that up — just go with it.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 to NOVEMBER 21)

Dracula Teeth: If you could have it your way, Scorpio, every day would be Halloween. You’ve always been drawn to the darker, more mysterious side of life and don’t have a lot of time for sweet treats (seriously, just bring on the ghost stories please!). An old-fashioned pair of Dracula teeth is the perfect way to indulge your inner True Blood and get a few good Insta selfies in the process.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 22 to DECEMBER 21)

Now & Laters: You’ve got more energy than anyone we know, Sag, and you’re gonna need it to take on these super-chewy, dentist-nightmare Now & Laters. They’re super-long-lasting (hence the name), and it takes forever to work through a small package, which makes them the perfect travel companion for your next journey.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 to JANUARY 19)

M&M’s: Classic, simple, and steadfast — are we talking about you, Cap, or the ever-present M&M? The answer is both, of course. You favor traditional over modern and can’t understand why anyone would choose anything other than the best. When you commit, you commit, Cap, and these chocolates have been your ride-or-die since grade school.

20 Modern Passover Recipes For Your Seder Feast

The Passover Seder is steeped in tradition, but that doesn't mean your meal has to be completely conventional. Here are 20 modern takes on classic Passover dishes, like Manischewitz-spiked cocktails and matzo-based chocolate bars. (Don't let the word "modern" scare you; there's still plenty of smoked fish, matzo ball soup, and kugel in the mix.)

Scroll to see some amazing, modern Passover recipes to make in 2025.

When is Passover this year in 2025?

Alex Shute

Passover begins the evening of April 12, 2025, and lasts through the evening of Apr 20, 2025.

What is the traditional meal for Passover?

How Sweet Eats

The traditional meal for Passover includes a mix of symbolic foods. Meat, eggs, fruit and vegetables, herbs, and saltwater all have a place on the Seder plate, though more modern passover meals make some variations on the ingredients included.

What are the 6 foods of Passover?

How Sweet Eats

A lamb’s bone (Zeroah), roasted egg (Beitzah), fruit and nut paste (Haroset), bitter herbs like horseradish (Mar’or), green vegetables (Karpas), and a small bowl of salt water are the 6 main foods of Passover.

What food is forbidden on Passover?

cottonbro studio

Some traditions celebrate the jewish holiday with restrictions on leavened bread (chometz). Breads made from wheat, oat, spelt, rye or barley are not eaten on Passover.

The Best Foods To Make For Your Passover Meals

How Sweet Eats

Smoked Salmon Platter

Now that everyone has a drink, get the party started with a show-stopping salmon platter, complete with cukes, tomatoes, red onion, and tons of shmear. Replace the bagels with matzo to hold all those toppings. (via How Sweet Eats)

Foodal

Matzo Ball Soup

This Passover classic is traditionally made with chicken. Welcome your vegetarian friends to the table with a meat-free version. (via Foodal)

Brit + Co

Salmon Instant Pot Dinner

If you're hosting a small Passover Seder, use your Instant Pot to create a full meal of steamed fish, potatoes, and veg. (via Brit + Co)

Half Baked Harvest

Roasted Beef Tenderloin With French Onion Au Jus

Feeling fancier than brisket? This thyme-crusted tenderloin is simpler than it looks but is definitely main-course worthy. Just be sure to omit the butter or replace it with a dairy-free substitute. (via Half Baked Harvest)

Jamie Geller

Matzo Schnitzel

With matzo meal and potato starch, crispy breaded chicken free of leavened ingredients can be yours for your Passover crowd to enjoy. (via Jamie Geller)

Life Made Sweeter

Instant-Pot Pot Roast

Embrace the modern-day craze for the Instant Pot (and the Whole30 diet) with this nourishing pot roast, which incorporates more veggies than the traditional version. (via Life Made Sweeter)

Jamie Geller

Kofta Kebabs

These kebabs have just six ingredients but are intensely flavorful from cozy cinnamon and aromatic basil. Swap out Passover Panko or matzo meal for the breadcrumbs. These have a tahini dressing, which can be left out depending on if your family consumes kitniyot during Passover or not. (via Jamie Geller)

Cotter Crunch

Instant Pot Steamed Artichokes

Celebrate the classic fried artichokes of the Roman Jewish Ghetto with this lighter version, which steams in 10 minutes in the Instant Pot. (via Cotter Crunch)

Leite's Culinaria

Beet and Carrot Fritters

Switch up the Passover table's very beige (yet delicious) color scheme with these bright and healthy beet fritters. (via Leite's Culinaria)

Well Plated by Erin

Creamy Vegan Risotto With Asparagus and Quinoa

Quinoa is technically a seed, not a grain, so many people give it the seal of approval on Passover. Use it to concoct this risotto, which gets its creamy texture from a purée of roasted cauliflower, beans, and almond milk. However, if you are avoiding beans, just sub in more cauliflower. (via Well Plated by Erin)

Jamie Geller

Matzo Farfel Stuffing

Dates add an unexpected sweetness to this comforting tray of matzo pieces, mushrooms, and aromatic veggies. (via Jamie Geller)

Foraged Dish

Roasted Eggplant Salad

Juicy pomegranate seeds can make any dish look festive, as proven by this bed of seasoned roasted eggplant and pine nuts. Dress it in lemon juice, sea salt, and olive oil if you are not consuming kitniyot like tahini sauce. (via Foraged Dish)

Make These Delicious Desserts And Sweets For Passover

Tori Avey

Vanilla Noodle Kugel

Use Passover-friendly (usually matzo-based) egg noodles and wafer cookies for this kugel, which balances the sweet notes of vanilla and sugar with the tangier flavor of sour cream. (via Tori Avey)

Baker by Nature

Flourless Chocolate Fudge Cake

Butter, chocolate, eggs, and sugar make a shockingly fudgy cake — no flour necessary. You can always sub in vegan butter if you plan on eating the meal less than two hours after consuming meat. (via Baker by Nature)

Brit + Co

Waffle-Iron Latkes 5 Ways

Modernize the traditional latke by cooking it in a waffle iron and adorning it with updated toppings, like crème fraîche and apple butter or Greek yogurt and pomegranate. (via Brit + Co)

Drizzle and Dip

Dessert-Wine Poached Pears

A holiday without flour is an opportunity to get creative with fruit. These pears are poached in simple syrup, honey, and dessert wine until warm and tender. Serve them with non-dairy vanilla ice cream for a glorious temperature contrast. (via Drizzle and Dip)

Leite's Culinaria

Passover Apple Cake

Matzo cake meal is the secret ingredient in this nutty, apple-rich, and raisin-studded cake. (via Leite's Culinaria)

Half Baked Harvest

5-Ingredient Magic Matzo Chocolate Bars

Have the kids in the family make these crunchy-chewy chocolate bars. The recipe is a simple matter of layering, sprinkling, and drizzling, so it can't go too awry. (via Half Baked Harvest)

Tori Avey

Passover Chocolate Chip Cookies

As long as you have matzo meal, you don't have to give up chocolate chip cookies during Passover. (via Tori Avey)

Kitchen Treaty

Classic Red Sangria

You could pass around standard glasses of Manischewitz, or you could use the red wine to make a fruity sangria. Since Manischewitz is already so sweet, you don't need to add any sugar to the mix. (via Kitchen Treaty)

8 Home Decor Ideas I'm Stealing From This Dreamy Palm Springs Gem

Celebrity designer Francesca Grace is my latest design crush. Her vintage-eclectic aesthetic blends cottagecore charm with maximalist flair and a hint of European vintage glamour — and I swoon every time. Most recently, she staged a stunning four-bedroom, five-bathroom home in Palm Springs, drawing bold inspiration from the raw beauty of the desert landscape.

“My approach was to harmonize the home's contemporary architecture with eclectic, artful interiors," says Francesca. That she achieved, creating a space that feels both curated and soulful. With vibrant color, playful patterns, and richly textured materials, she infused the space with warmth and character and created a look that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern.

Here are 8 design ideas I'm loving from this Palm Springs home.

William Myers

Huge glass walls throughout the house blur the line between indoors and out, making the whole place feel super connected to nature. It’s a fresh take on desert living — grounded in its surroundings and full of personality.

1. Lean Into Cozy Seating

William Myers

It’s the kind of place that invites you to sink in, unwind, and soak up the desert calm. While Francesca paid homage to the spirit of Palm Springs, she intentionally steered away from the typical mid-century vibe, bringing something fresh and unexpected instead. “Drawing from my travels in France and Italy, I incorporated hues that evoke a sense of warmth and comfort, ensuring the interiors resonate with the desert landscape while maintaining a timeless appeal," says Francesca.

William Myers

The moment you step inside, it’s a stunning visual experience. Desert views are perfectly framed, while Francesca’s thoughtful use of color and sculptural furniture mirrors the rugged landscape and captures the magic of the desert light.

William Myers

Here’s a peek at those spectacular indoor-outdoor views that give the home a serene, spa-like feel — and turn every window into a work of art.

2. Use An Earthy Palette

William Myers

The color scheme was influenced by the natural surroundings of Palm Springs and Francesca's affinity for earthy, rich tones. And that velvet platform bed? The curved edges make it feel extra inviting—so much softer and cozier than sharp lines.

3. Maximize Views

William Myers

This dreamy bathroom is beyond beautiful thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows that invite the desert in and an elegant design. "Floor-to-ceiling windows were left unadorned or dressed with minimal treatments to frame the natural beauty without obstruction," says Francesca.

William Myers

Even the walk-in closet comes with a picture-perfect view of the desert — because why not?

4. Embrace Natural Stone

William Myers

A bold marble sink adds just the right amount of edge to this neutral bathroom, keeping the design layered, luxe, and anything but boring.

5. Blend Textures

William Myers

Francesca sourced a boulder from the surrounding land and transformed it into a custom coffee table, merging the connection between indoors and outdoors.

“Texture is my love language," says Francesca. "It’s how I bring emotion into a space without shouting. For this home, I layered everything: marble, smooth leather, raw woods with polished stone, sheer linen next to rich velvet. The palette might be neutral, but the materials are doing all the talking. That contrast keeps the eye engaged and creates a sense of quiet luxury that doesn’t try too hard," she adds.

William Myers

That marble fireplace is also a work of art. The stunning desert landscape significantly influenced the layout and styling choices. “I positioned seating areas to maximize views of the outdoors, creating a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

William Myers

The kitchen acts as a breezy bridge between the entry and the back of the house, creating a clean, open space that balances all the surrounding coziness.

William Myers

Here’s the view from the dining area — and I’m obsessed with the textured pendant lights. They bring a soft, organic touch that beautifully balances the kitchen’s harder lines.

6. Mix In Vintage Pieces

William Myers

Francesca mixed in a few vintage finds and unexpected accents to keep things fresh and dynamic, but her LA shop Somme really set the tone. “There’s something really special about designing pieces that already have a story and a soul behind them—and being able to place them in a home like this just adds another layer of intention. I wanted the furnishings to feel elevated but livable, with just the right amount of edge," says Francesca.

7. Go Bold With Art

William Myers

For this home, Francesca worked closely with Creative Art Partners (CAP) to curate the perfect art collection that she says "felt intentional, emotional, and deeply tied to the spirit of the space."

William Myers

“Our goal was to create a narrative through the art — each piece had to serve a purpose, whether it added a punch of color, an unexpected texture, or a provocative element that brought energy to a room. That said, because this is a staged home, we were thoughtful about how far we pushed certain pieces. There’s a fine line between bold and polarizing, so we curated selections that had impact without alienating potential buyers. CAP was an amazing partner in helping us strike that balance and tell a cohesive story throughout the home,” she said.

8. Balance A Cozy Minimalism

William Myers

Striking the right balance between cozy and clean called for thoughtful layering and intentional decor choices. It’s all about avoiding clutter without letting the space feel cold or sterile.

William Myers

"I focus on incorporating plush textiles, ambient lighting, and personal artifacts to add warmth, while maintaining an uncluttered environment by curating pieces that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. This philosophy ensures the space feels inviting without visual overload," she says.

William Myers

Here's the dreamy home in the middle of the desert, stunning view inside and out.

William Myers

Here's how the home is lit at dusk, simply beautiful.

William Myers

Palm Springs feels almost otherworldly — the perfect desert escape.

The 10 Best Paramount+ TV Shows To Watch This Month

When it comes to streaming platforms, having a variety of content is king, and Paramount+ is undoubtedly building an empire. Originally launched as CBS All Access, the platform rebranded in 2021 with a new name and became a one-stop shop for everything TV from binge-worthy originals to nostalgic classics.

To help you sort through the sea of options, we've rounded up 10 must-watch Paramount+ shows that deserve your attention this month. Whether you're into comforting oldies, comedies, gripping drama, or even reality TV, here are our top picks.

Scroll to see all the Paramount+ TV shows to watch in April 2025!

Paramount+

1. Tulsa King

Sylvester Stallone made a bold entrance into television with Tulsa King, a gritty yet entertaining crime drama from the mind of Taylor Sheridan. Sylvester plays Dwight "The General" Manfredi, a seasoned New York mobster who's exiled to Tulsa, Oklahoma, after serving a 25-year prison sentence and starts building a criminal empire from the ground up. Other stars include Andrea Savage, Max Casella, Neal McDonough, and more.

DreamWorks Television

2. Freaks and Geeks

Before they were household names, actors like Linda Cardellini, Seth Rogen, Jason Segel, and James Franco were the fresh-faced stars of Freaks and Geeks, a short-lived but beloved dramedy that captured the awkward, painful, and hilarious high school journey.

The show, which came out in 1999, follows Lindsay, a bright student who veers off the mathlete path to hang out with underachievers; meanwhile, her younger brother navigates freshman year.

Paramount+

3. Colin From Accounts

Colin From Accounts is an Australian rom-com that begins in an unexpected way: with a car accident and an injured dog. When the character Gordon, played by Patrick Brammall, nearly hits Ashley, portrayed by Harriet Dyer, with his car, the pair find themselves co-parenting a stray dog they name Colin.

The show's depiction of modern romance is witty, heartfelt, and filled with chemistry, making it easy to binge.

Paramount+

4. Evil

If you're more into the dark and twisted, check out Evil, which explores the blurry line between the psychological and the supernatural. It follows Kristen, a skeptical forensic psychologist, who teams up with a priest to investigate unexplained phenomena.

Evil weaves in commentary on science, faith, and the modern world's own dark side: internet culture. The cast includes Katja Herbers, Mike Colter, Michael Emerson, Andrea Martin, and more.

Lynch/Frost Productions

5. Twin Peaks

While it came out in 1990, Twin Peaks is still considered one of the best shows ever created. When a high school student named Laura Palmer is found dead, Dale Cooper, an FBI agent, is called in to solve the case. This leads to the discovery of secrets buried within a seemingly quiet and unassuming town.

Created by David Lynch and Mark Frost, the cast includes David Lynch himself, Kyle MacLachlan, Sheryl Lee, Lara Flynn Boyle, Sherilyn Fenn, Frank Silva, Grace Zabriskie, and more.

CBS Studios

6. The Twilight Zone

Rod Serling's The Twilight Zone is one classic that will never go out of style. This series uses science fiction, horror, and fantasy to tell self-contained stories that often end with a moral punch or twist. The episodes are only 30 minutes long, but each one pushes the boundaries of viewers' imaginations and reflects the anxieties of its time.

Still, even decades later, the thoughtful themes and eeriness resonate among audiences, both young and old.

Showtime

7. Yellowjackets

Yellowjackets is the kind of thriller that pulls you in from the very first episode. After a high school girls' soccer team crashes in the remote wilderness, the series jumps between the events that unfold following the accident and the lives of the adult survivors over two decades later.

This show, starring Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse, Ella Purnell, Hilary Swank, and more, is unpredictable and binge-worthy.

CBS

8. The Amazing Race

The Amazing Race is a reality TV staple that's continued captivating audiences for more than 20 years. It follows teams of two as they race across the globe and tackle challenges for a chance at winning a $1 million prize.

Beyond the adrenaline rush, the series gives viewers a glimpse into diverse cultures and gorgeous landscapes. It's part travel, part competition, but totally entertaining.

Comedy Central

9. Drunk History

Your high school history class definitely wasn't like Drunk History, where real historical events are retold by intoxicated narrators. Hosted by Derek Waters, the show delivers tipsy (and not always entirely verbatim) takes on all sorts of scandals and situations, from the death of Rasputin to the Stonewall riots.

It's chaotic but surprisingly informative and features a rotating cast of comedians and celebrity cameos.

Showtime

10. Dexter

Last but not least is Dexter, an unsettling yet oddly endearing crime drama. Michael C. Hall stars as Dexter Morgan, a forensic blood spatter analyst by day and a serial killer by night. The twist is that he only targets people whom he thinks deserve it.

Dexter came out in 2006, has eight seasons, and is still one of TV's most compelling depictions of a monster hiding right in plain sight.

Here are our top summer baby names that are as radiant and joyful as the time of year itself.

Scroll to see our favorite summer baby names for 2025!

This name has become popular across the globe, from the United States and the UK to New Zealand and the Netherlands. It's ideal for a warm and positive little girl who brightens up any room she walks (or crawls) into.

2. August

Стас Ксензов

August is derived from the name Augustus, meaning "great" or "to increase," and carries a sense of honor. It's historically tied to the Roman emperor Augustus, giving this name long-standing associations with influence and power.

4. Sampson

cottonbro studio

Sampson is a strong and masculine name with Hebrew roots that means "sun." It's actually an alternative spelling of the biblical name Samson, who's famous for his strength, which was a gift granted by God.
