If you need a candy bar fix, all you need to do is consult the stars. In celebration of Halloween, we are matching candy bars to each of the 12 zodiac signs! Read on for a tasty treat.
In the United States, Halloween is the biggest of the big when it comes to candy! Over 25% of the candy industry’s revenue is made during Halloween.
Here’s the deal: Astrology can reveal a lot of information about you. Your Sun sign gives clues to personality traits, vocational skills, and quirks. It can also indicate preferences such as your gardening style and even your pet’s personality!
Which candy bar is the perfect match for your zodiac sign? Remember: This isn’t necessarily your favorite candy bar. And, even more important than the candy bar is what your profile tells a lot about you.
Aries: Aries is known for being bold. These risk lovers are never shy about taking the first step, which means they love to blaze trails. However, they can also be hot-headed. When they lose their cool, it can be explosive. A Snickers bar will turn them from Ram to Lamb in a hot minute.
Taurus: Gentle Taurus hates to be rushed. They prefer to stop and smell the roses rather than leaping into the unknown. This means they can be slower than a Bull at nap time. The Charleston Chew is the perfect treat for these chill folks. It takes forever to finish one, which allows Tauruses to enjoy at their own pace.
Gemini: Geminis are curious as can be. Always on the hunt for a new adventure or the latest thing, they’re easily bored. It’s also rumored that they have two sides to their personality. Reese’s Peanut Butter cups are the perfect blend of salty and sweet. So Gemini!
Cancer: Old-fashioned Cancer loves nothing more than being home with the ones they love. Although they have a reputation for being crabby, underneath that armor is a total softie. Comfort is queen to them, so get them a classic Hershey bar. A blanket, a mug of hot cocoa on the side, plus a good book, and they’re all set.
Leo: Loud, proud, and glam are three words to describe Leo. They are show-stoppers and always the center of attention. Because they love luxury, it’s only fitting that they claim the 100 Grand Bar. They deserve the best, and they’ll never let you forget it.
Virgo: No one works as hard as Virgo. These meticulous folk want to do a good job, so they’ll spend long hours toiling away while the rest of the world parties. Don’t feel sorry for them. They live for work. Reward these earthy workaholics with a nutty PayDay. It’s a sweet treat for a job well done at the end of the day!
Libra: Libra is concerned with fairness. Everything must be balanced. If not, they’ll do what they can to make things right. They love to share, so Twix bars are their best candy bar. After all, two bars are better than one, and two people are better than none.
Scorpio: Mysterious Scorpio has a lot going on underneath the surface. It’s hard to read them, but they don’t mind. They prefer keeping you in the dark. Scorpios like something rich and luxurious, so Milky Way Dark is their secret obsession. It’s rich, silky, and a bit decadent. Just like them.
Sagittarius: Sagittarius is a truth-teller and adventurer. They are usually found traveling the globe or feeding their heads with all the books. The broader the horizon, the happier they are. Their sign is the Archer, which means they have a sporty side. Baby Ruths are a delicious nod to Babe Ruth, one of the best ball players ever, perfect for the Sag in your life!
Capricorn: For Capricorns, quality matters. They are fans of classics, from clothing to what they read. They’re also ambitious, so they are unlikely to settle for the run-of-the-mill anything. Dove Candy Bars are elegant and luscious. Perfect for when they want to get fancy!
Aquarius: Innovative Aquarius likes to walk the wild side. Rather than follow the crowd, they’re busy setting trends. But they are also great friends. Their motto is all for one and one for all, making the Three Musketeers the best bar for Water Bearers. They’ll want a few extras on hand for their besties.
Pisces: No sign is more emotional than sensitive Pisces. The tender-hearted Fish are willing to give the shirt off their back for anyone. They are big softies, so they are drawn to marshmallow-type confections like Mallo Cups. That gooey fluff matches their sugary-sweet insides.

While I am a Libra, I am not typical of my sign... in fact I do bear a few Scorpio traits. As for the Twix bar, can't stand them. I'm more the Resses girl. Gimme a peanut butter cup any day.
The Baby Ruth candy bar is - despite the name - not a nod to the ball player It was named after the deceased U.S. presidential daughter, Ruth Cleveland,
I really like this article. The only thing is that it was written for the US and candy from there was named. I’m from Canada. Are there candy bars that can be substituted for the American ones?
While I realize that this is all in fun, the idea that the Baby Ruth candy bar has anything to do with legendary baseball player Babe Ruth is a common misconception. Actually, the candy bar was "named after the deceased U.S. presidential daughter, Ruth Cleveland". (Wikipedia)
By the way, I'm a Cancer, and my favorite candy without a doubt is Brookside Dark Chocolate with a fruit center. The chocolate is far superior to the type used in Hershey bars, and the overall taste is much more interesting. The packages ought to come with a government warning about the possibility of addiction.
