The Most Popular Christmas Candy In North and South Carolina
Candystore.com is sharing a list of people’s favorite Christmas candies by state. The site says it received feedback from over 16-thousand customers, and then combined that data with more from its manufacturers and distributors.
Peppermint bark seems to have oversaturated the market last year because it lost six number-one spots. California and Texas are the two largest states that cooled on peppermint bark this year.
Candy canes also slipped in 2022 and lost four number-one spots including New York, where they were replaced by Snickers, and New Hampshire where M&M’s are now the top candy.
The most notable gainer was Kit Kat, with two number-one showings in Massachusetts and Oklahoma, which both picked candy canes last year.
South Carolina likes M&M’s followed by Peppermint bark and then Pez. North Carolina’s number one was Starburst, followed by Snickers, and then reindeer corn. I guess that is candy corn?
