How the Candy bracket works
Candy tier list without dragging anything into rows. You get one matchup at a time — Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Skittles? Snickers or Kit Kat? — and after 31 picks the bracket has a champion, with everything else placed by how far it got. A straight list invites you to hedge. A matchup does not, and that is what makes the final 32-deep order worth screenshotting.
This bracket runs 5 rounds at the default 32-slot size (Round of 32, Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final Four, Championship), with every one of the 32 choices in the field. Seeding is random, which means a replay is a genuinely different bracket rather than the same path twice. You can also play it at 8 or 16 slots for a shorter or longer run.

Getting a ranking you actually agree with
- 1Answer as if both options were in front of you and you could only eat one.
- 2The default run puts all 32 choices in the draw. Short on time? Drop to 16 slots — a quicker run over a random 16 of them.
- 3If a matchup genuinely splits you, undo and replay it — a coin-flip pick in round one distorts everything below it.
Candy bracket FAQ
How many choices are in the Candy bracket?
The pool holds 32 choices. A default run puts all of them in the draw and takes 31 picks across 5 rounds: Round of 32, Sweet 16, Elite 8, Final Four, Championship. Other field sizes are available too — 8, 16, 32 slots.
Which choices are included?
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Skittles, Snickers, Kit Kat, M&M's, Twix, Sour Patch Kids, Gummy Bears, Starburst, Twizzlers, Milky Way and Hershey's Chocolate Bar, plus 20 more. Every entrant is listed further down this page with its artwork.
How long does the candy tier list take?
About 2-4 minutes — 31 choices at the default size, or 7 if you drop to a 8-slot bracket. There is no sign-up and nothing is stored until you reach the final.
Is this a candy tier list or a ranking?
Both are here, and the bracket is closer to a tier list than it looks. It ends with a champion, a runner-up and then every other choice grouped by the round it went out in — which is exactly a set of tiers, decided by 31 direct comparisons rather than by your first guess at a layout. What it deliberately does not do is claim a precise gap between two choices that never met. If you would rather place the choices into S through F rows yourself, the tier list maker loads all 32 of them at bracketranker.com/tier-list-maker.
Is there a community candy ranking?
Every completed bracket feeds the Candy community results page, which aggregates win rates across all plays and tracks how often each of the 32 entrants takes the title. It updates continuously, so it moves as more people play.
Can I change which choices are included?
Use the bracket maker: add your own choices, name it, and share the link so other people play the same field. That is the route to take when this pool of 32 is missing something you would have picked, or when you want a version scoped to one era, label or franchise.
