When it comes to a treat as mood-altering and addictive as candy, it's imperative to know what kind of personality you're dealing with before you offer up the goods. You don't want to make the classic mistake of filling eggs with sour jelly beans for a boy who's shy and anxious —that's a recipe for disaster. However, an adventurous girl who loves to explore her surroundings is likely to jump for joy upon receiving an egg-full of pucker-inducing treats.

That said, determining the best candy for a child's personality is not an exact science; it takes a keen sense of intuition and a tendency toward whimsical thinking. However, there are a few basic tenants that are sure to make the job easier — pair sweet, innocent young ones with mild-flavored, sugar-coated confections, like gum drops or peach rings; and pair thrill-seeking tykes with something a bit spicy or sour, like cinnamon- or lemon-flavored candies.
