Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups collected the most votes overall with a total of 4,348 votes.
“If the U.S.A. were compared to other countries in the rest of the world, Reese’s would be our [national] candy,” said Aydin Acar, co-founder and CEO of Influenster. “I personally love M&M’s, so I stand by Michigan and Oklahoma.”
Influenster surveyed more than 40,000 people across the country to collect the results.
