The doorbells will be ringing and the kids will want only the best when it comes to treats. So, to avoid being ‘that house’ in the neighborhood (the one known for the worst candy), here’s a rundown of the Top 5 treats that will keep the kids happy and your house from getting egged.
Candystore.com went through the trouble of breaking down the most popular Halloween candy by state. Based on their research, here’s what they say kids in New York want. The results may surprise you!
3. Candy Corn
An oldie but goodie, this stuff can fill you up fast. It also gets stuck in your teeth.

2. Hot Tamales
Kids love the fiery spicy stuff

1. Sour Patch Kids
Popular in a good number of states, especially in the Northeast

Surprisingly missing from this list? Chocolate! Especially surprising since the top 3 favorite candies nationally didn’t even show up in the list. When it comes to favorite candy over all in the United States, number 1 is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Number 2 is Skittles. Number 3 is M&M’s.
There ya go, if you can still find Sour Patch Kids in stores, get ’em!
