A new map has identified each state’s favorite candy, and the country seems more divided than ever in the chocolate vs. candy debate.
The findings include:
- Starbursts led the way in six states.
- 25 states prefer chocolate candy to gummies or fruit-flavored candy.
- New Hampshire preferred Circus Peanuts more than any other candy.
- Missouri favored Nerds.
- Alaska favored Smarties.
- Utah was the only state that preferred Three Musketeers over any other candy.

Zippia used Google Trends data to determine which states enjoyed which candy items more than others. The research team reviewed 50 popular candy items and looked to where they were most popular.
- The research did not include gum, raisins and fruit snacks, all of which get passed around for Halloween.
