Skittles are Illinois’ favorite candy but M&M’s are the Valentine’s Day favorite

Two-thirds of Americans will eat chocolate on Valentine’s Day this year.  Over half of us will eat three pieces or more, and 90% will keep snacking on their candy well into next week.

The poll also found cupcakes, gummy bears, and candy hearts are three of the most popular treats to eat on Valentine’s Day.  But what about name-brand candy?..

Top Agency looked at the most popular candies in all 50 states, and M&M’s took the top spot overall.  They’re #1 in 20 states, followed by Skittles with 17 states including Illinois

Kit Kats are third with five: Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups got three:  Delaware, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island.

Snickers took the top spot in two states:  Idaho and South Dakota.

And Nevada is the only state where Starburst is the most popular candy.
