In a stunning upset, M&M’s have beat out Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups as this year’s most popular Halloween candy.
That’s according to survey by RetailMeNot, which shows the candy-coated chocolates narrowly edged out last year’s favorite. Third on this year’s list are Kit Kats, followed by Snickers. And rounding out the top five: candy corn, the survey indicates.
In related Halloween news, RetailMeNot also reports that people are 37 percent more likely to buy a costume this year, spending an average of $71.
