Our Favorite Halloween Candy In The CSRA

What is our favorite Halloween candy here in the CSRA? I don't have to tell you that October is a BIG candy month. There is candy all over every store you go into. A lot of people in offices and businesses put out a candy dish this month. Of course, just like with anything, most people have a favorite type of candy. So, what do we like most in the states of Georgia and South Carolina? I've got the info for you.

Candystore.com has done some serious digging. They reviewed candy purchases for the last 16 years! It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. After completing their research, they put together a list of the top three candies in each state. Now I know that people buy candy for different occasions throughout the year, Christmas, Easter, etc. So Candystore.com focused on just the month leading up to Halloween.

Before we get into the most popular candy in the CSRA, let's look at the top ten most popular candies in the United States.

What?! No Twix? No Kit Kats? I'm going to be honest, I'm pretty surprised by that. So now let's take a look at the CSRA's favorite Halloween candy. We'll start with South Carolina and then go to Georgia. These are in order based on most popular.

I can get down with most of these, but Jolly Ranchers? Really Georgia? We really like Jolly Ranchers that much? I'm not judging, I just figured there was better candy out there. If you want to check out the full list from Candystore.com, just click here.

Lets take a look at what the best candy for you is, based on your zodiac sign.

Halloween is quickly approaching. And when it comes to choosing the best Halloween candy, it can be tough.  There are so many great candies to choose from, whether you prefer chocolate, sweet, or sour! So how about a fun way to pick out candy?  Like, looking to the stars. What is the best Halloween candy based on your zodiac sign? Whether you believe in zodiac signs or not, this is an interesting and fun way to see what candy to pick.

Some people believe zodiac signs can tell a lot about a person - our desires, our preferences, even greater insight into our personality traits, and more.  But for others, it can just be something fun with no deeper meaning behind it.  The folks at Eat This, Not That! decided to dive into Halloween candy and the stars.  They consulted with a few astrologers to find the ideal candy match for each zodiac sign.

Something spicy for the Aries! Apparently Aries are "known for their feisty nature and quick temper." So the heat, with a little sweet, is perfect.

M&M's are the recommendation for the Taurus, since they are the "most grounded, group-oriented sign." Also, Taurus is often seen as a comfortable, familiar presence, which makes M&M's a good fit. M&M's have been around for a long time and feel familiar.

Since Geminis love conversation, are curious, and like to share, a KitKat is the recommended candy for them.  A classic, shareable candy that can lead to those connections and conversations.

Starbursts are the candy for a Cancer.  It's a candy that "can cater to your diverse and complex emotional range." Cancers love to express themselves, and the variety of flavors of Starburst can satisfy a wide audience.

Leo is associated with the sun, and they love to "shine bright."  That's why the Crunch bar is recommended for a Leo.  It's a candy that makes a statement, but has been around for a long time - which brings familiarity and warmth.  These are traits Leos like to share with those around them.

Virgos are intellectual, which is why the candy recommendation is Nerds. But of course, we only mean nerd in the best way!

As one of the sweeter signs, the candy for the Libra is SweeTARTS.  Libras are kind, open, and engaging, while keeping things simple and social. They like being around people and are loyal friends.

Scorpios are loyal and dependable- like a Snickers bar! They have passion, power, and resilience.  And there's more underneath that surface than what meets the eye.

The Sagittarius are described as "bright, colorful, engaging, and inspiring" and is a "wanderlust-driven sign."  They are freedom-seeking and independent.  The Sagittarius knows what they want, and may break rules to get what they want.  They have low tolerance for things standing in their way.  Sour then sweet, maybe?

Swedish Fish were recommended for Capricorns.  They are organized, and love uniformity and discipline.

Exciting candy to match the energy of the Aquarius: Pop Rocks! With a bit of a rebellious streak, an exciting, out-of-the-box candy makes sense for this zodiac sign. Aquarius doesn't like to be held down or back.  They are unique and "readily marching to the beat of its own drum."

Pisces are the most emotionally sensitive.  They are intuitive and aware of their surroundings.  They know what it takes to comfort you... and what says comfort more than some gummy bears?
