Halloween is right around the corner so let the sugar-filled fun begin! I don’t know about you, but I have always wondered what was the most popular candy on Halloween. A look at the most popular Halloween candy puts chocolate at the top. Chocolate is a big business and Halloween is its biggest holiday.
Number one on the list are Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. Reese’s were introduced in 1928. Their sales are $509.85 million! The brand leads in sales of snack-sized packages, which are often given out to trick-or-treaters. The second candy on the list are M&M's. These were introduced in 1941, and their sales were $500.82 million. It’s behind Reese's by a very small amount. Although it is the second highest selling regular size candy, it ranks only eighth among brands in snack-sized sales. Next on the list are Snickers. These were introduced before M&M’s and after Reeses. They came out in 1930. M&M’s sales were $456.91 million. The fourth on the list are Hershey’s whose sales were $324.63 million. Hersheys were first introduced in 1900. Hershey has been making many of its most famous brands for decades. Number five on the list are Kit Kats. They were introduced in 1935. Their sales came to $306.51 million. Now let's look at the top sweets in some U.S. states as of 2018. Let’s start off in Alabama. Its top candy is Candy Corn. In Alaska and Colorado, Twix is the top on the list. In Arizona, Snickers are the most popular. Arkansas’s top candy is Jolly Ranchers. California, however, had Skittles on the top of their list. Illinois has Sour Patch Kids as their top candy. There you have it, the most popular Halloween candies in America!
