Which kinds of hardened candy residue will your child’s dentist be scraping from their teeth at the next visit?
Well, it might depend on where you live.
CandyStore.com, an online candy retailer specializing in wholesale and bulk orders, has sought to determine the “most popular” Halloween candies in each state, based largely on the past 16 years of the company’s sales data in the months leading up to Halloween.
Distributors and manufacturers who work with CandyStore.com also “chipped in” to provide additional stats, according to CandyStore’s analysts.
While the top candies vary from state to state, CandyStore estimates that Reese’s Cups, M&Ms and Hot Tamales are the country’s three “most popular” candies overall (and in that order) based on sales per pound between 2007 and 2022.
But which sweets, specifically, might your local dentist find lodged between your children’s sensitive, especially vulnerable teeth in the coming months? Take a look below at the “most popular” candies in each state, as determined by CandyStore.com.
No matter which candy might be most popular in your neck of the woods, there’s likely to be plenty to go around: The National Retail Federation estimates consumer spending for Halloween candy to reach approximately $3.6 billion in 2023 — around a half-billion more than in 2022.
More information, including an interactive map and additional candy-centric stats, can be found at CandyStore.com.
