Halloween is just a few weeks away now and that means it’s time to talk candy. Halloween candy sales are expected to reach about $2.6-Billion this year, with 95% of households buying treats. Of course, everyone has their own favorites, but what do you buy for the trick-or-treaters in your neighborhood? The candy data team at CandyStore.com has once again crunched the numbers based on 12 years of sales to figure out the most popular Halloween candy in each state.
Iowa's favorite? Candy corn.
Are you surprised? I'm surprised. I love Kit Kats, and expected that Iowa's favorite Halloween candy might be something chocolate-y, like Kit Kats or Snickers.
But candy corn? Could it be that Iowans are telling their neighbors they hate the stuff then secretly buying it online? Do Iowans have secret candy corn stashes?
