Halloween always brings a ton of surveys about American's FAVORITE candy, but it turns out that list is different from what we're actually picking up at the store. While Reese's Cups are what we love eating, according to data from CandyStore.com, Skittles is actually the best-selling candy in the United States. This year, Skittles even got in on the gross-out candy trend and debuted Zombie Skittles. While some of the flavors in this gray package are classic and delicious, others taste like “rotten zombie flesh.”
These are America’s Top 10 best-selling Halloween candies, according to CandyStore.com:
- Skittles
- Reese’s Cups
- M&M’s
- Snickers
- Starburst
- Candy Corn
- Hot Tamales
- Tootsie Pops
- Sour Patch Kids
- Hershey’s
This year, the National Retail Federation is estimating that shoppers will spend $2.6 billion on Halloween candy.
