Top 5 Best Selling Halloween Candy Nationwide

Sep 11th 2024

As the leaves turn golden and the air gets a little crisper, it can only mean one thing—Halloween is creeping closer! That magical time of year when ghouls, ghosts, and, most importantly, candy, reign supreme! Let’s be real; Halloween isn’t Halloween without a giant bowl of treats (and maybe a few tricks). And whether you’re a candy corn fanatic, a Reese’s fiend, or someone who secretly hoards all the Kit Kats for yourself, there’s something undeniably delightful about diving into a pile of Halloween candy. So, grab your flashlight, hold onto your witch’s hat, and follow us as we explore the top five best-selling Halloween candies across the nation!

1. Reese's Peanut Butter Cups: The Pumpkin King of Halloween

When it comes to Halloween candy, there’s one undisputed king: Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. This delightful mix of smooth peanut butter and creamy milk chocolate is a timeless classic, and it seems like everyone across the nation agrees. In the shape of pumpkins for the spooky season, these little delights become even more irresistible. Reese's is consistently a top-seller, dominating trick-or-treat bags from coast to coast. They’re the candy equivalent of that dependable friend who always shows up to the party with a killer costume and great vibes. At Blair Candy, we’ve seen plenty of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups fly off the shelves—especially those adorable pumpkin-shaped ones!

2. M&M’s: The Colorful Cauldron Concoction

Next up, we have those little candy-coated morsels that seem to vanish by the handful—M&M’s. There’s no denying that M&M’s hold a special place in our Halloween hearts. With their bright colors and crunchy shells, they add a pop of fun to any Halloween candy bowl. They’re the party starters, always ready to add some color to the festivities. It’s no wonder they’re among the top sellers every year! At Blair Candy, we see our share of M&M lovers, but they’re not always in the top spot. Curious, right?

3. Snickers: The Monster-Sized Satisfier

"You're not you when you're hungry," says the Snickers slogan, and apparently, we’re all craving these nougat-filled, caramel-drizzled, peanut-packed bars come Halloween night. Whether it’s the full-sized bars given out by that one generous neighbor or the fun-sized Snickers perfect for little hands (and adult ones sneaking a midnight snack), Snickers always seems to make the cut. It’s the candy that can’t be beat when it comes to satisfying those monstrous cravings. Snickers bars are a constant at Blair Candy, but you might be surprised to know they don’t always top our personal charts!

4. Skittles: The Trick-or-Treat Rainbow

When you need to taste the rainbow, Skittles have got your back. These chewy, fruity, bite-sized candies are perfect for a Halloween treat. They bring that perfect pop of flavor—sweet, sour, and everything in between. Plus, they’re perfect for sharing… or for keeping all to yourself, we don’t judge! Skittles continue to be a fan favorite, making them one of the top five best-selling Halloween candies across the country. And while they’re certainly popular here at Blair Candy, sometimes, we find that trick-or-treaters are craving something a little different. What could it be?

5. Candy Corn: The Classic Debate Starter

Ah, candy corn. You either love it or you’re completely bewildered by its popularity. Yet, somehow, every year, this divisive candy finds its way into countless Halloween bowls and trick-or-treat bags. Perhaps it’s the nostalgia factor, or maybe it’s those bright, cheery colors that scream “Halloween!” Whatever the reason, candy corn consistently ranks among the top five Halloween candies sold nationwide. It’s the Brussels Sprouts of Halloween treats—you either want a whole bag or none at all. At Blair Candy, we see the candy corn lovers stock up early, but does it top our charts? Not always!

The Blair Candy Twist: A Different Kind of Treat

Now that we’ve had a spook-tacular journey through the top five best-selling Halloween candies across the country, it’s time to reveal a little Blair Candy secret. These nationwide favorites are certainly popular in retail and online stores across the board, but our candy-loving customers here at Blair Candy? Well, they like to mix things up a bit!

You see, while Reese’s, M&M’s, Snickers, Skittles, and even candy corn have their fair share of fans, we often find that our top-selling Halloween candies differ from these nationwide stats. Some years, it’s Halloween Marshmallow PEEPS that take the prize. Other years, it’s the spooky gummy body parts (because who doesn’t love a good gummy eyeball?). And don’t even get us started on the frenzy for caramel apple lollipops or the ever-creepy wax fangs!

So, if you’re planning on filling up your cauldron this Halloween season, why not take a peek at our Halloween candy selections? You might just find a new favorite to add to your list.
