Halloween wouldn’t be Halloween without candy. It would be Samhain. And, everyone has their opinions on the best Halloween candy… and the worst. (It’s Sixlets.) So, with the help of Google Trends, Zippia put together a map the reveals the most popular Halloween candy in each state.

For everyone who loves candy corn, you should know that Circus Peanuts have made it onto the map. Finally, a whole state with worse taste in candy. Oklahoma, what happened?

Now excuse us while we chow down on some Brach’s Pumpkins.

The Most Popular Halloween Candy In Each State (2022)

Since we originally covered this two years, ago, states have changed their taste preferences. Kit Kat is now the reigning champion and West Virginia made a lateral movie and eschewed Tootsie Rolls for candy corn.

Pennsylvania doubled down on their love of plasticky treats, swapping Twizzlers for Good and Plenty.

Most states stuck with the classics, but some candies like Mr. Goodbar, Payday, and Junior Mints evaporated completely, making room for Swedish Fish and more licorice than we expected.
