Top 10 Halloween Candy and Treats
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Snickers, M&M's, Skittles, and Kit Kat regularly appear in top-selling Halloween candy lists.

Top 10 Halloween Safety Tips
Use reflective tape on costumes and bags, carry a flashlight, and walk on sidewalks whenever possible. The American Red Cross recommends checking treats at home and using face paint instead of masks that can block vision.
