2019 Top Halloween Candy by State Revealed

With these treats, you won’t need tricks!

Will your house be passing out the good candy this Halloween?

CandyStore.com compiled 12 years of candy sales data to find the most popular Halloween candy in each state, and the top ten Halloween candies in America.

In a repeat of last year’s results, California’s  no. 1 candy is Skittles, followed by M&M’s and Reese’s Cups.

Skittles leads the nationwide winners too, with Reese’s Cups in the runner-up position followed by M&M’s, Snickers, Starburst, candy corn, Hot Tamales, Tootsie Pops, Sour Patch Kids, and Hershey’s at no. 10.

Some surprise winners in other states included Lemonheads as Louisiana’s first pick and salt water taffy taking the top slot in Nebraska, Washington and Wyoming.

Candystore.com ships nationwide, and broke down their sales by state to find these results. They also collaborated with major candy manufacturers and distributors.

The National Retail Federation is estimating Americans will spend $2.6 billion on Halloween candy this year, which doesn’t vary from last year’s spending.
