The Top 5 Most Popular Halloween Candies
Halloween is just around the corner, so it's time to start stocking up on candy! According to a recent study, more than 160 million Americans buy candy for Halloween.
So what are the most popular Halloween candies? Why are they so popular? Here are the top 7 most popular Halloween candies, based on sales and popularity.
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are one of the most popular Halloween candies. They're so popular that they were ranked as the number one candy in a 2017 survey by the National Confectioners Association.
There are a few reasons why Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are so popular. First, they're made with two classic flavors: chocolate and peanut butter. They're also easy to eat on the go, which makes them perfect for busy trick-or-treaters. And last but not least, they come in mini sizes for Halloween, which is a huge plus for parents who want to limit how much sugar their kids consume.
Snickers
Snickers are the second most popular Halloween candy in America. They've been one of the top-selling candies for years, and there's a good reason.
First of all, they're filling. A full-sized Snickers bar is much bigger than some other candies on this list. So if you're lucky enough to score one, it's like winning the prize and simultaneously satisfying your sweet tooth and your hunger.
Second of all, they have a variety of flavors. In addition to the classic Snickers bar, you can now find Snickers bars with almonds, peanut butter, peanut brownie, almond brownie, white chocolate, or even dark chocolate. So there's something for everyone!
M&Ms
M&M is the third most popular Halloween candy in America. They're small, they're colorful, and they're delicious.
One of the reasons that M&Ms are so popular is that they come in a variety of flavors. In addition to the classic milk chocolate M&Ms, you can now find them in peanut, almond, pretzel, dark chocolate, brownie, peanut butter, mint, and even coffee flavors. So there's something for everyone!
Another reason that M&Ms are so popular is that they're easy to eat. They melt in your mouth, not your hand or pillowcase!
Starburst
Starburst is the fourth most popular Halloween candy in America. They're small, they're chewy, and they're delicious.
One of the reasons that Starburst are so popular is that they come in a variety of flavors. In addition to the classic lemon and strawberry flavors, you can now find them in orange, grape, cherry, watermelon, and other fruity flavors.
A quick online search will tell you which flavors starburst fans love. However, according to this Mashed article, not everyone was feeling the Pina Colada.
It's also worth noting how difficult opening a starburst can sometimes be. Sometimes that paper is impossible to get off, causing you to make one of two terrible decisions. Eat the wrapper and hope for the best, or chuck em in the trash.
Skittles
Skittles are the fifth most popular Halloween candy in America. They're small, they're colorful, and they're delicious.
One of the reasons that Skittles are so popular is that they come in a variety of flavors. In addition to the classic fruity flavors, you can now find them in tropical, sour, or wild berry flavors. So there's something for everyone!
The good thing is that while you are out there tasting the rainbow, it has been proven that SkittlePox is not as easily transmitted as first thought.
