PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Expect to see plenty of bags of M&M's in your kid's trick-or-treat bag this year.

CandyStore.com looked at data from bulk candy sales across the country and information from candy manufacturers and distributors to determine the most popular Halloween candies in each state.

Their results found that M&M's edged out Skittles as Pennsylvania's most popular Halloween candy. Hershey's Mini Bars trailed behind Skittles in third place.

M&M's also came in first place in California, North Carolina and Washington D.C.

Even though Pennsylvania is Hershey's home state, the chocolate treat got more love in Nevada, where Hershey's Kisses are the most popular Halloween candy.

Hershey's Kisses are the second most popular candy in Hawaii, Arizona and Georgia, and Hershey's Mini Bars are the second most popular candy in West Virginia and Alabama.
