The Halloween holiday is October 31. Tens of millions of children will put on costumes that night and visit their neighbors’ homes. The neighbors will give them candy. Americans are expected to spend about $9 billion on Halloween this year. Most of the money is spent on costumes, decorations and candy. The National Retail Federation estimates that more than 175 million Americans are planning to take part in Halloween activities this year. The online candy seller CandyStore.com looked through 11 years of data to learn which Halloween candy is most popular in each American state. The company found that, overall, Skittles, M&M's and Snickers are the most popular candies. The favorite candy of Texans, though, is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup.
