CandyStore.com released its annual list of the most popular holiday candies in America. And Peppermint Bark is #1 again: it took the top spot in most states including Illinois.
The top five holiday candies we’ll be buying this month…
- Peppermint Bark — #1 in Illinois, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Rhode Island, Tennessee, and West Virginia.
- Mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups — #1 in Indiana, California, Colorado, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington.
- M&M’s — #1 in Iowa, Idaho, Kentucky, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Virginia, and Wyoming.
- Starburst — #1 in Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, North Carolina, Nevada, and Wisconsin.
- A tie between Hershey Kisses and Chocolate Santas — Kisses are #1 in Arizona, Maine, Montana, South Dakota, and Utah. And Santas are #1 in Alaska, Mississippi, North Dakota, New Mexico, and Ohio.
The biggest surprise is candy canes. Six states had them at #1 last year, but now it’s down to two: Louisiana and Oregon. They did take second in 15 states though. So plenty of us still like them.
