Trick or treat? It’s almost Halloween weekend and we’ve got candy on the brain. Did you know South Carolina’s most popular candy is Butterfinger?

According to Candystore.com, 111,984 pounds of Butterfinger were sold in SC over the last 15 years. Coming in at No. 2 is Skittles, with candy corn at No. 3. See the candy map.

Check out Charleston Moms’ guide to trick or treating in Charleston, including spooky events like the Munchkin Masquerade with trick or treating throughout Citadel Mall.
