Come Halloween night, trick-or-treaters across this great nation will flood the streets and race to the neighborhood homes giving out the best candy. Maybe it's that nice older lady down the block who hands out king-size chocolate bars. Or the cool young couple who always has a ginormous bowl of Nerds. Or the guy who just dumps a fistful of candy corn into your bag and creepily shuts the door.

Eww, wait: CANDY CORN?

Yes, apparently in some regions, people can't get enough of this strange seasonal foodstuff. A new Influenster.com survey asked 40,000 people across the country to name their favorite Halloween sweet, and candy corn took top prize in five different states! Meanwhile, people in North Carolina will be battling for precious Butterfingers, as Rhode Islanders clamor for Reese's PB Cups. Seriously enlightening stuff!

Skim the list below to find the favorite candy in your state, then feel free to go back and judge all the other states for their favorites.
