The classic chocolate bar renowned for its milk chocolate and crisped rice combination, is likely Boise's least favorite chocolate candy for Halloween, and probably not a good option to have in your bowl's tonight, as less than 2% of respondents selected this as one of their top choices.

But wait, there's more... there were actually 3 chocolate candies that were ranked last place: Nestle Crunch, Butterfingers, and Mounds/Almond Joy. While many of us might think these are classics, they are not on the radar for kids these days. However, Snicker's, Kit-Kat Bars, and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are still at the top as must-haves and favorites for this Halloween!

So, as you prepare to welcome the trick-or-treaters to your doorstep, remember that not all candies are created equal, and there are clear favorites and least favorites. Keep scrolling to see what Idaho's favorite Halloween candy is and more.
