Trick-or-treaters should take in a record haul this year, with the National Retail Federation estimating shoppers will spend $2.7 billion on Halloween candy alone in 2017.

So what are you most likely to find at Tri-State homes? 

Blow Pops, Hot Tamales and Tootsie Pops, according to candystore.com.

The website crunched 10 years of sales data and double-checked with major candy manufacturers and distributors to find the top three candies for all 50 states.

For Ohio, it's Blow Pops first, M&M's second and then Starburst. 

The Commonwealth prefers the mystery surrounding how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop. Three Musketeers bars and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups finished in second and third place, respectively, in Kentucky.

The Hoosier State likes to keep things spicy with Hot Tamales winning, followed by Starburst and then Snickers bars.
