Chocolate, The Real Treat This Halloween
A study done by the National Confectioners Association shows that almost all kids prefer chocolate over fruit. Big shock right? What is a bit shocking is that not only do most kids prefer chocolate to fruit, but most kids also prefer cocoa-based candy over non-chocolate candy. Kids prefer cocoa-based candy 2-to-1 actually.
I would have easily predicted chocolate to win out over fruit, but not over non-chocolate based candy. Just take a walk down the candy aisle on your next trip to the supermarket and check out all those sugar-covered, fruity flavored candies. Don’t they just scream kid friendly? While I know the kids go for all the sweet brightly colored candies that don’t contain even an ounce of chocolate, I guess just like a lot of grown ups kids really are choc-aholics too.
