With Halloween just around the corner, many children are eagerly anticipating dressing up and going trick-or-treating in search of their favorite candy. October has earned its reputation as a significant candy month as households and stores alike prepare for the surge in demand. According to the National Retail Federation’s annual Halloween consumer survey, conducted by Prosper Insights & Analytics, the projected total spending for Halloween in 2023 is set to reach $12.2 billion, surpassing the previous year’s record of $10.6 billion.

CandyStore.com recently conducted an extensive analysis of candy sales data spanning the past 16 years. From this data, they have compiled rankings of the top three favorite candies in each state. They concentrated on the months leading up to Halloween since people buy candy throughout the year.

According to the study, Hershey’s Mini Bars is the top candy choice in Pennsylvania. It makes sense, seeing that Hershey’s Chocolate World is in Pennsylvania. It also holds the same number one Halloween candy choice as Hawaii, Nevada, and West Virginia. M&M’s, are the second-ranked candy in Pennsylvania, as revealed by the study. The third choice for the state is Skittles.
