What office requires you to buy treats for others?
But, if you must... I'd go with tiny toys or press-on tattoos before I put candy out. At least individually wrapped. |

Oh, if you are going for the "mess with them" option, do they make fake candy?
Or find a puzzle lock/box they have to fuck with for a while to open? Had a deputy that would keep a puzzle out on his desk. Seemed to encourage folks to stop and bullshit about problem/status. |

Quoted: I like the wrapped individual candies. All it takes is one un-sanitary person rooting around in there to stop everyone else from taking one. View Quote Company demands you out candy on your desk at your expense deserves a little GI distress. |

They say it's required. You asked for "best". I need to know your intent.
Do you really want the best that has mass appeal and will please everyone? Or the best as in the most optimal candy for being in a jar on a desk for extended periods of time? Do you want the best candy that will not be eaten, therefore reducing the amount of time and money to refill and keep stocked? Do you mean the best as in a form of protest for the completely irrational requirement that you provide and fund candy out of your own pocket? |

Quoted: Circus Peanuts. They are disgusting an no one will ever eat one. That way you can buy some to comply, and will never have to buy another package. If you happen to like circus peanuts, I pray for your heathen soul, and you can pick any other disgusting and revolting candy that no one will ever consume. View Quote I love circus peanuts. |

We gave out individual wrapped servings of sauerkraut, to the un costumed teens, one halloween

When I worked at the state capitol, nearly every legislator's office had Peppermint or Wintergreen Life Savers. You can make your own jokes, but my take is that lobbyists and constituents have bad breath.

This is the tactic I would use. |

I keep some candy at my office to “connect” with people.
Suckers never get taken. All sour stuff usually gets left. Anything chewy/gummy usually gets snatched. Chocolate gets wrecked. |

M&M with skittles mixed in. If you’re going to make me do some dumb shit I’m going to have a laugh at your expense. Or do jelly belly jelly beans but mix in the gross & super hot packs. |

Be sure to post the dietary warning and calorie count for the candy; because you don’t want to get into a failure to notify civil law suit should someone have an adverse reaction.

Trust me.
99% of people will hate it and be disgusted by it, and will leave it alone. The 1% who like it will worship you like a god. I love the stuff. Had it since I was a kid. It's a very popular Danish candy (made in Finland). When my relatives visit from Denmark, they always bring me some. When I was a platoon sergeant, my platoon commander made it part of my responsibilities to always have a bag on me in the field, so he could have one whenever he wanted. https://www.amazon.com/Fazer-Tyrkisk-Peber-375g/dp/B004L588P4 |

None.
If I kept a fully stocked candy jar, I'd just eat it all. Better to avoid all temptation and not bring junk food into the house. |
|
Depends on the type of person you want stopping by your desk.
Seriously, the snack food personality test is a real thing. |

Something covered in chocolate. If they're individually wrapped, then unwrap them and toss them in a jar. Then, set the jar on top of a coffee mug warmer. It'll make the chocolate melt and be messy. If they don't like it, then tell them THEY can provide the candy.
I can't stand places like that...one person does it so everyone else "has" to do it or you're looked down upon. How about fuck you, huh? I don't play idiotic games like that. Being a grouch? Hell yeah! And I don't care. |
