Like it or not, Halloween is all about candy. And trust us when we say, there’s nothing worse than going trick or treating and getting raisins. But what are the most popular Halloween candies? A poll by Monmouth University put this question to the test and found that these are the five favorite Halloween candies, with the number one spot being the most popular. Do you have any idea which candy got the No. 1 spot?
No. 5: Candy Corn
You either love it or hate it, but Halloween wouldn’t be the same without it. Plus, who doesn’t love the pumpkin ones?
No. 4: Hershey’s Bars
An American classic, Hershey’s bars melt in your mouth and you can’t go wrong with the iconic candy bar. Did you know that the first bar was sold in 1900?
No. 3: M&M’s
With tons of flavors to choose from including peanut, peanut butter, crispy, pretzel, and caramel, you’re sure to find one you love. And you can’t go wrong with the classic milk chocolate version which tastes amazing in trail mix.
No. 2: Snickers
Snickers are super satisfying with the nougat, caramel, nuts, and chocolate. They’re even almond, hazelnut, and peanut butter options.
No. 1: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
Peanut butter and chocolate are a match made in heaven so it comes as no surprise that Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are ranked at No. 1. The pumpkin-shaped ones are somehow even better than the original, which we didn’t know was possible.
