As we come into the holiday season, there are endless amounts of candy everywhere you go. People give candy to trick-or-treaters, make family recipes as gifts, or buy sweets for gatherings with family and friends.
For this challenge, we’ll be diving into some of the most popular types of candy. Whether it’s seasonal, classic chocolate, or something more unique like liquid and powder, there’s something for everyone. There are 15 categories, each with 10 tasks. You can complete these in any order you’d like, just make sure you write a new review or post 5+ status updates.

250 - 349 pages = 3 points
350 - 449 pages = 4 points
450 - 549 pages = 5 points
550 - 649 pages = 6 points
