The Halloween season is fast approaching in the state of Illinois, and according to a new ranking, there is a new favorite candy in the Land of Lincoln.
According to data compiled by Candystore.com, Sour Patch Kids have been dethroned as the state’s favorite candy, and have been replaced by KitKat bars, which finished in second last year.
The data says that nearly 170,000 pounds of KitKat’s will be delivered to Illinois retailers during the Halloween season, over 30,000 pounds more than the amount of Sour Patch Kids that stores order.
