Halloween is the holiday where you know the candy is going to flow, and will probably last you months after the holiday is over.  Parents are notorious for sneaking candy out of their kids Halloween pails after a great night of trick-or-treating.

It's no wonder that the kids have started hiding their candy from their parents.

What do you think?  Did they get it right?

I would think that the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups would have been in the top spot, but Sour Patch Kids are popular.  Nine times out of 10 when someone grabs candy in my household, they choose Sour Patch Kids.

However, according to the National Retail Federation, $3.5B will be spent on Halloween Candy this year.  Think about all the candy that will be dropped in Halloween pails this year, and then half of that will be stolen by the parents.

This might surprise you, but despite the wide variety of candy available these days, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have held the top spot for many years. However, they were dethroned this year.
