Most popular candy?

What would you say is your most popular selling candy? I'd prefer to put skittles, regular m&m's, and peanut m&m's in my machines. Kids worried the peanut m&m's won't sell b/c of all the kids with peanut allergys these days. What has been y'alls experiences?

I now have a basic triple.  PMM, Hot Tamales, and Skittles

I am going to use M&I as a backup to replace a slow seller.

These all 4 generally sell good for me.  But I am thinking of adding in a chickle tab style gum as a backup.  Something with a higher margin and decent shelf life to fill a slow column.

I have been consolidating my route, eliminating plain M&M's, and Reese's Pieces.  I tried Rascals, but I think I will dump those too. 

The first candy I pulled was Boston Baked Beans.  Nobody under 35 even knows what they are, but I wish they did because of the profit margin on those things.  (I call them the poor man's M&M.)

Once I get some double heads set up, my basic double will be PMM & gumballs.

I'm also curious to know where you get your chewy sprees? I could tell you from experience that PMM  sell better than the plain. I could also tell you that I was lucky if I was able to sell half of a case of the pacifier candy the rest went to the garbage, I guess you have to take the good with the bad.
