Step aside, Candy Corn: Arizonans prefer another candy

Arizonans love chocolate, apparently

Not sure which Halloween candy to buy this year? Here's a good hint. 

According to candystore.com, Arizona prefers the chocolaty goodness of (drum roll, please) Snickers. 

The candy distributor collected data from its sales across the United States and Canada over the past 10 years and found that it sold 904,633 pounds of the chocolate peanut candy in Arizona. 

"How many Snickers bars would it take to fill the Grand Canyon — over 9 million?" the distributor wrote in its online report. "That’s how many bars Arizonans ate over the course of our study."

Right behind Snickers in sales was Hershey Kisses, coming in at 817,463 pounds, and in third place at 527,843 pounds was Hot Tamales (because, Arizona.)
