Its no secret that Americans love to consume cauldrons full of candy around Halloween — it just so happens that they prefer to mow down on peanut butter cups the most.

According to a poll from Monmouth University, more than 36 percent of Americans say Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are their favorite Halloween treat. It’s more than twice the number of people who chose Snickers as their favorite.

“It’s a split decision on Halloween. Nearly half the country ranks it up there with their top holidays while the other half could do without it,” said Patrick Murray, director of the independent Monmouth University Polling Institute.

Murray added, “Candy corn even making the list may surprise some people, but it is one of the top-selling Halloween candies in the country. We don’t know if it’s one of the top-eaten candies, but it does have a fan base. And candy corn make great fake teeth to creep out your parents with.” said Murray.

Here are the numbers:
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups – 36 percent
Snickers – 18 percent
M&M’s – 11 percent
Hershey bars – 6 percent
Candy corn – 6 percent
Skittles – 5 percent
Starburst – 4 percent
Tootsie Pops – 2 percent

M&M’s ranked third at 11 percent, while Hershey bars tied with candy corn in fourth place, both landing at 6 percent each.
