Every year, the bowl by the door holds the same predictable assortment: mini-Snickers, Kit Kats, Raisinets, or maybe (for the healthy) a fruit roll-up. This Halloween, surprise the treaters by tossing a handful of Japanese candy in their bags. You win points for exoticism, and the flavors are intensely delicious. Little kids will love the crunchy-sweet Pocky sticks, while you’ll want to keep the dangerously addictive espresso drops for yourself. For more on the world of Japanese candies, click ahead.
