Best candy to stuff Alaskans’ stockings

Everyone loves Clement Moore’s “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” but we doubt it is sugarplums dancing through children’s heads while they are nestled snug in their beds. As Saint Nick plans to stuff stockings near and far, we hope he’ll take advice from Food PR.

A recent Halloween candy survey determined what treats were most loved. Candy corn, circus peanuts and raisins are rotten – we hope next year they’ll be forgotten.

Nationally, Reese’s reign supreme, but in Alaska Almond Joy actually topped the list. The top five nationwide include:

1. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups

2. Kit Kat

3. Butterfinger

4. 3 Musketeers

5. Almond Joy
