In Canada, these are the top 22 Halloween candies

Trick-or-treating is a beloved childhood tradition. When kids dig through their pillowcases or plastic pumpkins after a long day of going door-to-door, it seems like everything is a treat. With Halloween just around the corner, we wondered: What are the most popular Halloween candies in Canada?

Here is the list>

1. Milk Duds

Halloween is no dud with Milk Duds. It is packaged in adorable little boxes of three or four and given out to tens of thousands of trick-or-treaters each year. During Halloween, about 9,732 pounds of these chocolate-covered caramels are sold.

2. Life Savers

Life Savers have been around for more than a century. It’s an oldie but a goodie, with an average of 11,987 pounds of Life Savers sold during the holiday season.

3. Almond Joy

There are times when you feel like a nut, and there are times when you don’t. It is estimated that 32,744 pounds of Almond Joys will be sold on average this Halloween. Apparently, almond joys sell much better than their nut-free counterparts, as Mounds didn’t even make the top 25.

4. Blow Pops

The ultimate two-in-one candy, Charms Blow Pops are lollipops with bubblegum centers. Is there anything better than that? Not much, since this iconic treat is so popular; about 256,916 pounds are sold for Halloween.

5. Dubble Bubble

The little barrels of super-chewable bubblegum known as Dubble Bubble are hugely popular. How popular is it, you ask? In the fall, about 150,000 pounds of this sugary treat are sold.

6. Kit Kat

Here’s a fun fact: 172,663 pounds of Kit Kats are sold every Halloween, making them the 18th most popular candy. This year, the Kit Kats in kids’ Halloween baskets may look a little different. As well as glowing packaging, Kit Kat has a new flavor in 2019: Mint Chocolate Duos.

7. Twix

Mars introduced Twix to the U.K., which traditionally comes in a two-stick pack. He arrived in the U.S. in 1979. Over the years, this caramel, cookie, and chocolate concoction has become a favorite of young and old alike. There have been 198,777 pounds of fun-sized (and normal-sized) Twix at Halloween over the past 12 years. That is a lot of caramel, no matter how you pronounce it.

8. Swedish Fish

What is the exact flavor of Swedish Fish? Although we’re not sure (lingonberries are rumored to be in it), trick-or-treaters love the sweet, fruity taste of Swedish Fish. Each Halloween, about 202,000 pounds of these little swimmers dive into buckets and bags.

9. Milky Way

This Halloween, you don’t have to go to outer space to find a Milky Way, just walk around the block. If you follow trick-or-treating etiquette, someone will give you this 15th most popular Halloween candy. Milky Ways make their way to trick-or-treaters in about 282,111 pounds this holiday season.

10. Hershey’s Mini Bars

America’s iconic chocolate bar, Hershey’s, is often imitated but never duplicated. What is the popularity of this sweet milk chocolate? I like it a lot.

11. Taffy

This classic boardwalk food has become a Halloween staple, thanks to Laffy Taffy. Taffy branded with Willy Wonka debuted in the 1970s and is now a staple of trick-or-treaters; about 385,000 pounds of taffy are sold each Halloween.

#12 Butterfinger

This Halloween, Butterfingers have a new recipe, but Butterfingers have always been a favorite. Every year, 388,891 pounds of these crispy, crunchy peanut butter chocolate candies are sold for Halloween.

12. Jolly Ranchers

Jolly Ranchers only weigh 6 grams, so it’s crazy to think that about 950,000 pounds of these hard candies are purchased for Halloween. Seven million hard candies are equivalent to that. You can buy bulk fruit treats and hand them out to trick-or-treaters.

13. Hershey’s Kisses

Are you aware that Hershey’s Kisses are produced every day in excess of 70 million pieces? To keep up with Halloween demand, Hershey will have to maintain that volume. Every Halloween, chocolate drops are the first candy to sell over 1 million pounds, starting off the top 10 with a kiss.

14. Sour Patch Kids

These sour patch kids may be little troublemakers, but there’s nothing trick about them. These tart little gummies are perfect for Halloween. Nearly 1.1 million pounds of these fruity candies are sold every Halloween.

15. Tootsie Pops

The genius idea of putting Tootsie Rolls in lollipops emerged in 1931, and since then, this fruity and chocolaty combination has become a global phenomenon. How sensational is this? Just ask the people who contribute to the 1.2 million pounds of these sold on average each Halloween.

16. Hot Tamales

If you like spicy candy, you’re in luck. The little red hot cinnamon-flavored chewy candies known as Hot Tamales are hugely popular at Halloween. About 1.3 million pounds of candy are sold every Halloween.

17. Candy Corn

Candy corn is synonymous with Halloween and the fall season, regardless of how you feel about it. Each Halloween, over 1.3 million pounds of this divisive candy are sold, just outside the top five most popular treats.

18. Starburst

Opal Fruit was originally called Opal Fruit when it was introduced in Britain in 1960. We know and love them as Starburst now. Every Halloween, 1.6 million pounds of Starburst are purchased.

19. Snickers

A chewy, tasty candy bar with nougat, caramel, peanuts, and chocolate, Snickers is a national favorite. Halloween trick-or-treaters will likely have their fill this year, thanks to the nearly 2 million pounds of candy sold on average.

20. M&M’s

M&M’s are a classic candy. Is there anything better? Every year, 2.2 million pounds of these chocolate buttons are purchased for Halloween, whether they are peanut, caramel, crispy or plain.

21. Reese’s

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, in mini form and in pumpkin and bat shapes, are perhaps the most beloved Halloween candy, but they’re only second in sales. Each year, about 3 million pounds of candy are sold in anticipation of the spookiest night of the year.

22. Skittles

Skittles debuted in the 1980s, but are more popular than ever today. With 3.3 million pounds sold on average, they’re also the top-selling candy. Skittles are the most popular Halloween candy of the 2010s, but the most popular Halloween candy of the previous 80 years was quite different.
