DoorDash's survey of U.S. candy orders placed in October 2025 ranked Reese's Peanut Butter Cups first nationally for the third consecutive year. Kinder Bueno topped the list in New York and Rhode Island but did not make the national top 10.

Why it matters

The rankings reflect which Halloween candies Americans are ordering most through a delivery platform, offering a snapshot of national candy preferences. Regional results, such as Kinder Bueno's strength in New York and Rhode Island, show that favorites can vary by state.

The ranking is based on DoorDash candy orders placed between Oct. 1 and Oct. 31, 2025. The national top 10 included Reese's, Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar, M&M's, Snickers, Nerds, Skittles, Airheads, Sour Patch Kids, Haribo and Kit Kat.
