These Candy Companies Aren't Scared By Halloween

• In a recent video, CNBC took a look at "America’s most popular Halloween candy."

The National Confectioners Association predicted that $2.6 billion dollars would be spent in candy for Halloween in 2015. This translates to roughly $8 for every U.S. citizen. Most of it was spent on chocolate.

Below is a list of the five most popular brands in the U.S.

5) KitKat

According to USA Today, Hershey Co HSY's KitKat’s sales reach $307 million per year.

4) Hershey

Occupying the fourth spot in this list is Hershey’s original Hershey chocolate, which sells approximately $325 million worth of candy each year. This means that, every day, Americans spend almost $1 million on Hershey chocolate bars.

3) Snickers

Privately held Mars is the maker of the third-most popular candy bar in the US: Snickers. The treat's sales surpass $457 million a year, according to USA Today.

2) M&M’s

Holding the second spot on this list is another Mars product, the beloved M&M’s. More than $500 million worth of this candy is sold every year.
