Illinois’ Favorite Halloween Candy for 2024 Isn’t Candy Corn

Rest easy, fellow Illinoisan; your favorite candy isn't candy corn.

My fears were pushed aside as I realized that we, the fine residents of the Land of Lincoln, have chosen another candy as our favorite for 2024.

Taffy Shop looked closely at each state's favorite candy as we got closer to the biggest candy day of the year, Halloween, and decided it was the delicious Kit Kat.

Interestingly, other sources claim that Twizzlers are Illinois' favorite. It's a bit of a head-scratcher. Who would have thought those twisty, chewy sticks could beat out the classic Kit Kat?
