Daniel Silbert; Shane McCauley; Glassnote RecordsJack Antonoff, Elle King and Robert DeLong have two things in common: they've all notched top-three singles at Alternative radio this year, and they all love Halloween candy. In a story for Billboard, Antonoff, King and DeLong each pick their favorite Halloween treat.
"I'm one of the few people who likes candy corn and doesn't think it tastes like an oily mess," says Antonoff. "I don't know why. It's so disgusting, but you just keep going."
As for King, her choice is "definitely Kit Kats."
DeLong, meanwhile, eschews traditional candy for baked goods. "Big orange frosted sugar cookies are my favorite," he says. "Not only do they fit the color scheme of Halloween, but they have the right sweet-to-hearty ratio: not as sweet as most treats -- I'm often overwhelmed by the sugar in other candies -- but filling on their own, leaving little temptation to eat more than one."
