Picking Halloween candy? These are the top 3 favorite candies in Vermont

You need to make a decision on what to fill your trick-or-treat bowl with. What candy are you picking?

You might think to pick one that was made in the state.

Vermont has a history of sweets-making, from the state’s iconic maple candy, which traces its origins to pre-colonial times and the teachings of Indigenous Americans to make maple syrup, to Lake Champlain Chocolates, made by a family of chocolatiers headquartered in Burlington.

However, it’s probably a better idea to get the most popular candies in the Commonwealth. Luckily, Candystore.com has released a 2024 study detailing what each states’ favorite candies are.

CandyStore.com’s study was conducted by looking at which three candies had the most pounds of themselves bought in each state.

What is the most popular Halloween candy in Vermont?

According to the study, Vermont’s most popular candy is M&M’s, with 39,138 pounds of the chocolate candies sold in the state.

Vermont’s second most popular candy, according to the study, is Skittles, as shown by how many pounds of Skittles were sold in the state: 29,907.

Vermont’s third most popular candy is Milky Way, the iconic nougat, caramel and chocolate bar, sold 21,032 pounds of itself in the Green Mountain State, the study said.

If you can’t choose, all three would be a great spread for the trick-or-treaters of Halloween night.
