Candy corn is one of the most iconic – albeit divisive – Halloween treats, and the Brach’s brand has revealed the 20 states that consume it most.

Brach’s took a look at U.S. candy corn sales of classic flavors including the Brach’s Classic Candy Corn and Brach’s Autumn Mix, which includes Classic Candy Corn, Harvest Corn and Mellowcreme Pumpkins in one bag, to determine the top 20 states where candy corn fans live. 

Members of Team Candy Corn can be found in:

  1. California
  2. Texas
  3. Florida
  4. New York
  5. Michigan
  6. Illinois
  7. Pennsylvania
  8. North Carolina
  9. Georgia
  10. Indiana
  11.  Iowa
  12. Kansas
  13. Louisiana
  14. Maryland
  15. Massachusetts
  16. Arizona
  17. Minnesota
  18. Mississippi
  19. Kentucky
  20. Washington

Ferrara also identified the five states where residents may not have joined Team Candy Corn yet:

  1. Alabama
  2. Hawaii
  3. Nebraska
  4. Vermont
  5. Wisconsin

"Candy corn has been a Halloween staple for more than half a century," said Mariah Havens, director of seasonal marketing at Ferrara, "but we also know that candy corn is one of the most divisive seasonal treats, and there are some people who don't enjoy it (I'm looking at you, Nebraskans and Wisconsinites). We want everyone to be on Team Candy Corn, which is why we introduced incredible, unexpected alternatives this year, including Nerds Candy Corn and Brach’s Minions Candy Corn. Now, there's a candy corn for everyone."
