Spooky season has officially kicked off which means it's time to pick the perfect pumpkin and the most memorable Halloween costume and of course the best candy for trick or treaters. And the parents who enjoy eating that candy just as much as the kids.

Candystore has put together their yearly list of the most popular Halloween candy state-by-state.

This year, Halloween candy spending is predicted to be 16% higher than last year and their is also a 15 percent increase in online shopping for candy.
