Let’s take a look at the three most popular candies in the United States, according to the poll.
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (38%)
Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups was the runaway winner in the poll of Americans’ favorite candy. The classic combination of candy and peanut butter is clearly a duo that the country’s citizens absolutely adore.
Snickers (18%)
Snickers came in second with 18% of the vote, a strong showing for the candy bar that combines chocolate, caramel, peanuts, and nougat. Who doesn’t love a delicious Snickers bar, anyway?

M&M’s, which are now available in a never-ending variety of flavors including peanut butter, hazelnut spread, and even mint, clock in at third on the list. An American favorite since 1941, when it was introduced to the market, these small candies continue to enjoy great popularity.
