A bowl of Halloween candy.

Halloween is one of our favorite holidays at GiftWorksPlus and it is officially time to start stocking up candy to celebrate! We’ve already shared our ideas for fantastic group costumes so you can look the part this Halloween. This week we are going to share the best candies you’ll want to have on hand for trick-or-treaters.

The Most Popular Candy in your Midwestern State

North Dakota

Hot Tamales! The chewy, cinnamon candy brings some heat to chilly North Dakotans on Halloween.

South Dakota

Starbursts! Everybody loves the tangy, fruity delicious taste of Starbursts and South Dakotans are no exception. Definitely stock up on these for your trick-or-treaters.

Nebraska

Sour Patch Kids! Nebraskans love sour and sweet! Mini Sour Patch Kids will get all the neighbor kids talking about your house!

Kansas

Reese’s Cups! This time of year, you may find more Reese’s Pumpkins but either way, no one will ever be disappointed when they get Reese’s in their candy bag!

Minnesota

Tootsie Pops! Minnesotans love a classic and there’s truly no candy that’s more classic than a Tootsie Pop. Find out just how many licks it takes to get to the center.

Iowa

M&M’s! Speaking of classics, who has ever turned down some M&M’s? No one! This is one staple you should definitely hand out this year.

Missouri

Milky Way! The first candy bar on our list, and it’s a good one. Chocolate, caramel and fluffy nougat never disappoints. 

Wisconsin

Butterfinger! The home state of GiftWorksPlus loves their Butterfingers, and we can confirm. The chocolate-covered, crispy, peanut butter bar is a Halloween staple from Milwaukee to Superior. 

Illinois

Sour Patch Kids! Another vote for Sour Patch Kids. You definitely won’t disappoint anyone who comes to your house with these tasty little guys.

Michigan and Indiana

Starbursts! Two more votes for Starbursts! We advise trying the tropical variety if you want to really impress the kiddos.
