Candy corn is back on top in the Magnolia State.
After a one-year absence from the No. 1 spot in Instacart’s annual report on Halloween candy, the controversial candy corn is once again the preferred buy for Mississippians during the month of October.
According to the report, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Virginia were the only states that buy more candy corn than the national average. While other states such as neighboring Louisiana are in favor of Tootsie Pops, residents of the Magnolia State seem to keep it classic when it comes to trick-or-treaters.
The report also revealed that chocolate is still king on a national basis. The three top Halloween candies in the U.S. were Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Peanut M&Ms, and regular M&Ms. Hershey’s Milk Chocolate came in at No. 6 while KitKats came in at No. 9.
