Chewy, crunchy, fruity, chocolatey... however you like it, candy comes in all kinds. But have you ever wondered which sweet treat is the world-wide favorite?

Let’s unwrap the facts and find out what the most popular candy in the world is!

Runner-Ups

Before we unveil the #1 candy across the globe, let's start with some runner-up favorite picks.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

A U.S. favorite combining salty peanut butter and sweet chocolate.

Haribo Goldbears

These gummy bears are a massive hit, especially in Europe.

Snickers

Chocolate, caramel, nougat, and peanuts. A classic that's hard to beat.

Kit Kat

Extremely popular in Japan, where you’ll find flavors like matcha, sweet potato, and sake.

Ferrero Rocher

This fancy chocolate-hazelnut treat is a popular gift candy in many countries.

Skittles

Skittles are beloved for their fruity punch and variety of flavors, including a sour variation.

Slime Lickers

This list wouldn't be complete if we didn't mention Slime Lickers. Made by Toxic Waste, Slime Lickers have blown up in popularity over the past few years (thanks to Tik Tok), and they're one of the most popular candies we sell at Action City.

And the Winner Is…

M&M’s are widely considered the most popular candy in the world!

These colorful, candy-coated chocolate bites have been a top choice since they hit the scene in the 1940s. Originally designed for soldiers (so the chocolate wouldn’t melt in their hands), M&M’s are now sold in over 100 countries and generate billions in sales each year.

They’ve come a long way from the original milk chocolate variety. Today, you’ll find peanut, caramel, pretzel, brownie, and even seasonal flavors like pumpkin spice or mint.

What About America?

According to surveys and candy sales data, Reese’s often takes the top spot in the U.S., followed closely by M&M’s, Skittles, and Snickers. Of course, everyone has their favorite, and Halloween candy hauls always tell a different story!
