If you live in a progressive neighborhood and don’t want your house TPed this Halloween, you better check to make sure you bought the right candy. The AFL-CIO has just put out a list of “union-made” Halloween Candy and liberal Snickers and Twix eaters are out of luck.

“If you want your Halloween to be all treats and no tricks, make sure all your candy is union-made, made in America,” the AFL-CIO’s Jackie Tortora writes on AFL-CIO Now, the official blog of the nation’s largest federation of unions. The list of union approved treats includes:

1. Baby Ruth
2. Butterfinger
3. Caramello
4. Hershey’s Candy Corn Kisses
5. Hershey’s Extra Dark Chocolate bar


6. Hershey’s Hugs
7. Hershey’s Kisses
8. Hershey’s Nuggets
9. Jelly Belly
10. Kit Kat
11. Laffy Taffy
12. Mike and Ike
13. Rolo
14. Super Ropes
15. Tootsie Roll
16. Trolli
