Sour Patch Kids
Hot Tamales
Candy Corn

I don't know about you, but I'm pretty sure kids are digging around those Trick-or-Treat sacks for Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Kit Kats. Sour Patch kids are good, but not #1 spot worthy! Spicy candy must be doing it for some people, but Hot Tamales...really, New York? What are you thinking?!

I've always been a fan of candy corn and don't really understand all the hate. But the numbers don't lie, Candy Corn is back! The candy site explains:

Love it or loathe it, Candy Corn is making a comeback! After falling off some radars, this classic tri-colored treat has clawed its way back into the top ten. Is it nostalgia, or has Candy Corn found a new generation of admirers?

Our friends in Connecticut have a list that makes much more sense:

Almond Joy
Milky Way
M&M's
