This is the best candy to hand out on Halloween — and the absolute worst
That’s according to CandyStore.com, which ranks the most popular Halloween candies in the country every year. The company delivers bulk candy to retailers all over the nation, you see. So it’s been digging into its sweet sales data from more than 17,000 customers over the past 14 years to determine the most in-demand candy spreading joy and cavities from sea to shining sea — and which pieces might get your house egged.
These are the top 10 most popular Halloween candies according to CandyStore.com. And even though generic candy corn lands at No. 10 on the most popular overall list, the tri-color sugar kernels were also voted as the worst candy of all time, per CandyStore.com’s data, followed by the spongy, marshmallow circus peanuts, peanut butter kisses, Smarties and Necco wafers.
And while the Reese’s were the most popular overall candy across the U.S., the peanut butter and chocolate cups actually weren’t the top pick in the most individual states. In fact, chewy, fruit-flavored Starbursts and Mondelez International’s MDLZ, -0.34% Sour Patch Kids were ranked No. 1 in six states apiece, followed by Reese’s cups and M&M’s with five states each, and Tootsie Rolls TR, -0.66% in four states.
So which state actually likes candy corn? While the divisive sweet wasn’t named the top candy in any of the 50 states, it did place second in Michigan and New Mexico, and third in several states, including Alabama, Iowa, Maine, New York and Nevada.
