According to data from CandyStore.com, the most-sold Halloween candy of the last 13 years is Skittles, followed by Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Starburst, M&M's, Hot Tamales and candy corn. 

As for candy corn, some might argue the tri-colored and triangular treat is wildly divisive, but it locks in at No. 6 nonetheless.

Although Halloween will look quite different this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, that doesn't mean it's canceled. With proper guidance, you and your family can celebrate safely and, with luck, secure pillowcases and plastic pumpkin-shaped buckets full of the most popular Halloween candy in your state.
