What are you raiding your kids' Halloween bags for? HILARY LIFTIN is the author of "Candy and Me," and says that certain personality types gravitate toward certain types of candy.
--Swedish Fish, Tootsie Rolls, caramels, Twizzlers, gum: you're a chewer. You are resilient, enduring, practical. You like to research and understand things fully.
--Black licorice, dark chocolate: you're a sophisticate. You have refined tastes that are reflected in your choice of everything from sweets to décor. You are motivated and unique, with expensive tastes.
--Jelly beans, Starburst, Skittles: you're a swinger. Variety rules. Your favorite candies are colorful and flavorful, and you are full of ideas and zest. You bring or (wear) a conversation piece to every party.

--Kit Kat, Twix, Krackel: you're a cruncher. Drawn to opposites --sweet/savory, crunchy/smooth. Texture pleases you; you seek complexity and like to solve problems. You can be hard for others to understand.
--Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate. You're a chocoholic (duh)! Nurturing and romantic --just like that rich, sweet stuff that brings you joy and comfort. You tend to wallow in romantic fantasies.
--Peeps, Three Musketeers. You're an airhead! Not spacey, just a free spirit. An easy conversationalist, strangers often find themselves telling you their life stories.

--LifeSavers, mints, hard candies: sucker! You are reserved, controlled and highly rational. Candy isn't something you bite or chew --you like sustained pleasure.
--Necco wafers, SweeTARTS, Smarties, Spree: you're a purist. You take your sugar straight up, for instant satisfaction, and believe life's pleasures should be available on-demand.
