As Halloween approaches, it's time to embrace the magic of the season—carving pumpkins, sipping spiced drinks, and indulging in all things sweet. Kroger is stepping up this year with a frightfully delightful Halloween guide, unveiling America's top candies, devilishly good deals, and festive recipes that promise to elevate any spooky celebration.

"Halloween is a time when creativity runs wild, whether you’re throwing a party, prepping for trick-or-treaters, or just having a cozy night in with family and friends," says Carlo Baldan, Kroger’s group vice president of center store merchandising. "This year, we’re creepin’ it real with savings and treats for everyone."

With shelves stocked high and deals that’ll make you scream with joy, Kroger is the one-stop shop for everything from candy bowls to Halloween-themed sushi (yes, really!). But let’s get to the good stuff: the candies America can’t live without.

America’s Most-Loved Halloween Candies: REESE'S, Snickers, Kit Kat & More

Kroger’s candy data is in, and if there’s one thing to be sure of, it’s that REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups will reign supreme in trick-or-treat bags across the nation. Whether it’s the perfect blend of chocolate and peanut butter or simply tradition, REESE'S continues to be America's go-to candy for Halloween. But the fun doesn't stop there—Snickers and Kit Kat are hot on its tail.

Here’s how Kroger suggests you take your candy game up a notch this year, with some wickedly clever drink pairings:

REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups: Combine the creamy, peanut-buttery goodness of REESE'S with a bold fall brew like Sam Adams' Octoberfest or Jack-O Pumpkin Ale. It's a match made in haunted heaven.

 Snickers®: The caramel, nougat, and chocolate blend of Snickers pairs perfectly with a Caramel Apple Ice Cream Frappuccino. Add some Private Selection® Harvest Apple for a dash of fall flair.

 Kit Kat®: Double down on chocolate with a Haunted Hot Chocolate, complete with a kick of cayenne pepper for an extra spooky twist. Feeling adventurous? Spike it with bourbon for a grown-up treat.

Twix Bar: Twix meets its match with a Spider Web Blood Orange Cooler. Pro tip: Decorate the inside of your cocktail glass with black gel icing for an eerie spiderweb effect.

 Twizzlers: For the little ghouls (and the grown-ups, too), Twizzlers pairs perfectly with a Vampire Party Punch, a fruity concoction guaranteed to leave your guests fang-full.
