/PRNewswire/ -- The Kroger Co. (NYSE: KR) today shared its
Halloween guide highlighting America's favorite candies,
hauntingly-good savings and wicked recipes to elevate any festive

store merchandising at Kroger. "Whether you're preparing for
trick-or-treaters, planning a Halloween party or staying in, Kroger

treats for the whole family."
From rich and chocolatey treats to sour and sweet options,
customers have many options to choose from this season. However,
Kroger revealed its customers will fill their baskets with
Hershey's REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups more than any other candy this
Halloween, followed by Snickers and Kit Kat's.* Try this year's
most-loved candies, paired with some bewitching libations and
family-friendly sippers:

candy with iconic fall brews from Sam
Adams, including Octoberfest and Jack-O Pumpkin

and caramel flavors with a Caramel Apple Ice Cream Frappuccino,
with medium roast coffee featuring sweet caramel balanced with
bright apple flavor from customer favorite collection, Private

chocolate. Try a Kit Kat with a Haunted Hot Chocolate, with cayenne
pepper to bring the heat. Spike it with bourbon or leave it
