Candy sales reveal two changes among favorite Halloween candies in this part of the country. Kroger shoppers are choosing candy corn more often this year, moving that treat from third place to second on Kroger’s list of local favorites.
Caramel Apple Tootsie Pops moved into the Top 4, moving Milky Way bars down one spot in 2025 Halloween sales.
Kroger candy experts have done some other calculating to help shoppers prepare for trick-or-treaters, suggesting up to three pieces of fun-size candy per visitor, meaning homes will need as many as 300 pieces for medium-size neighborhoods with up to 100 children.
For celebrations at home, more Halloween hosts are creating an alternative to charcuterie boards, featuring festive and decorative displays of their favorite candies. Those home celebrations elevated one other food to special status. Halloween is now pizza’s biggest night of the year.
For customers seeking Halloween hosting inspiration, Kroger offers these chilling cocktail and mocktail recipes, a step-by-step guide to making boo-cuterie boards, better-for-you Halloween snack ideas and other party ideas.
