🍫 It’s National Chocolate Day, and the timing feels a little evil — just three days before Halloween?! Like we needed another reason to binge on candy! 😅
A new poll found that 79% of Americans eat chocolate at least once a week, but during Halloween week, that number probably jumps to 100%.
When it comes to preferences, 59% say milk chocolate is their favorite, followed by dark chocolate, and then white chocolate in distant third place.
And in case there’s any doubt that Halloween is powered by chocolate — a new poll asked which candies we open FIRST after trick-or-treating. Only one non-chocolate candy made the Top 10!
🍫 Here’s the lineup:
1️⃣ Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
2️⃣ Kit Kats
3️⃣ Twix
4️⃣ M&M’s
5️⃣ Snickers
6️⃣ Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkins 🎃
7️⃣ Hershey Bar
8️⃣ Milky Way
9️⃣ Nestlé Crunch
🔟 Starburst — the only non-chocolate candy to make the list! 🍬
Gummy Bears, Skittles, and Nerds came close — but sorry, chocolate still reigns supreme. 👑🍫
(So yes, today’s the perfect excuse to “test” a few pieces early... for quality control, of course. 😉)
