Peanut MampM's and Jolly Ranchers are the actress's hard-earned childhood favorites. "I grew up in New York City, so door-to-door trick or treating is really dodgy," she says. "You never know what you're going to get."

The Don't Forget the Lyrics host is mad about Peanut MampM's. "I like to bite the candy shell and eat the nut on its own. If you see a dish with all the nuts missing, you know I was there. I'm the nut bandit. That would sound really weird out of context."

The Sydney White star is "nuts" for a good treat. "My favorite Halloween candy would be a cross between Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Peanut Butter MampM's," she says. "Anything peanut butter."

"You'll think I'm saying this to be funny," says the Bee Movie star, but "my favorite Halloween candy really is Bit-O-Honey. It's always been Bit-O-Honey. If you go into Dylan's Candy on Third Avenue in Manhattan, you'll see my name is up there with a picture of me with Bit-O-Honey, because that's my favorite."

From truthiness to toothiness: "I like the little candy corn. I like to bite the tip that's white off, the middle that's kind of brown, and then eat the orangey end – in that order," says The Colbert Report host.
