Halloween brings out the kid in all of us, the costumes, the decorations, and of course, the candy! But have you ever wondered which states hand out the best treats on Halloween night? Are there places where trick-or-treaters are more likely to score full-size candy bars instead of tiny fun-size ones?
The team at Solitaired decided to find out by surveying Americans across the country about their Halloween candy habits, from how much they spend and how generous they are, to whether they slip parents a little something sweet too. The results paint a fascinating (and delicious) picture of generosity across the U.S. this spooky season.
