🎃 Guess what candy Floridians love most?

It’s not Reese’s, Snickers, or Skittles...

🍫 Milky Way takes the crown!

First introduced in 1923, this classic bar was inspired by malted milkshakes and later got its signature caramel layer in 1925. Nearly a century later, it’s still a Halloween favorite across Florida (and even Maryland and Nebraska too).
