Whippersnappers love it. Parents wish David Blaine would make it disappear. But did you know it also offers insight into your kids’ personalities? Here’s what their preferred trick-or-treat booty can tell you about the future.

Candy Corn: Old soul. This classic hasn’t changed in more than 100 years.

Snickers: Ambitious and well-rounded. The number-one-selling candy bar in the U.S., this chocolate bar has a little bit of everything.

Jolly Rancher: Frugal and patient. These suckers last forever. Chomp one and you might crack a tooth.

Junior Mints: Natural born performer. Named after a Broadway show, these bite-size nuggets are best enjoyed at the movies.

Bazooka Gum: Class clown. Pink bubbles the size of your head and jokey comic strips demand attention.

Tootsie Roll: Resilient. Put in ration packs for WWI soldiers, these chews won’t melt (down) in the heat.
