U.S. Halloween spending hit about $12.2 billion in 2025, with candy a major share, so seasonal display space can push sales well above the core base. That gives this brand more growth-style momentum than Tootsie Roll Industries, Inc.'s legacy sticks and mints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRetail placement and promo timing matter here: end-cap runs and bagged multipacks can turn a mature candy into a sharp seasonal spike.
