It’s never too early to start planning for Halloween, especially when it comes to picking out the best candy to hand out. The first day of autumn is September 22, 2025, so Halloween is just around the corner. As the days get shorter, it’s time to get ready for the spooky season.
Reader’s Digest recently highlighted the most popular Halloween candy in each state. Kids will soon be dressing up in their coolest costumes and hitting the streets for treats. Halloween spending is expected to hit around $11.7 billion in 2025, making it more popular than ever.
In Pennsylvania, the top Halloween candy is the classic Hershey’s Mini Bar, which has been a favorite since 1939. Nationwide, M&M’s takes the crown as the most popular candy, followed by Reese’s Cups and Sour Patch Kids. Interestingly, candy corn is only the favorite in Utah.
But Halloween isn’t just about sweets; it has a salty side too! Some believe that salt can keep away evil spirits. This practice goes back to ancient times, and you might even see characters in spooky shows using salt to ward off bad vibes.
So, as you gear up for Halloween, remember to stock up on your favorite candies and maybe a little salt for good measure. Get ready for a fun and spooky season!
