Are Tootsie Rolls South Carolina’s Favorite Halloween Candy?

Author Randi Moultrie

Is it crazy to think there are people who are obsessed with Tootsie Rolls? I, personally, am not a fan of tootsie rolls. I used to love them when I was a kid and pretty much ate any candy there was in sight. Crazy to think about those days sometimes, but tootsie rolls were never my ultimate go-to. Well, surprise because this year the Food Network is reporting that Tootsie Rolls are South Carolina’s favorite Halloween candy this year. What do you think?

In a report with the Food Network, they found out the most popular candy in each state. Not only did Tootsie Rolls take the cake for South Carolina, but the other states that love Tootsie Rolls include Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Maine, and North Carolina. Halloween is almost here and we are really fascinated by these candy results. Check out the full article to see some more information on what other candies are popular in other states. If Tootsie Rolls surprised you, then you might be shocked by some of the other results as well.

This Retro Candy Rank's as North Carolina's No. 1 Choice

If I could eat candy every day, I would. Sadly I would be in poor health if I did, so that is why I currently don’t. Candy sweet tooth is very different in America, there’s no sugarcoating that fact. The team at Coventry Direct wondered if each state had a favorite retro candy. Based on search volume for 56 classic candies, Coventry mapped out the most popular choices by state and region.

Trying to find Americans’ favorite candy in every state was jawbreakingly sweet, but no easy task. Based on a list of 58 childhood candies that are still being produced today, the study used Google Trends data from February 2021 to February 2022 to find out which nostalgic candy is America’s favorite.

North Carolina has a particular sweet tooth for a certain treat. Find out what it is below. We also included some additional state favorites on the list too. Personally, Sno-Caps are my weakness. Turns out I’d fit in just fine in New Hampshire and Wyoming! You can view the full report and your state’s favorites here.
