A study tracking candy costs since 2021 found that the price of candy has tripled the national rate of inflation over the last five years. For example, a bulk bag of 100 pieces of candy increased from $9.91 in 2021 to $16.96 in 2026, representing a 71% increase, while the national inflation rate during that period was 22%. The largest price increases occurred between 2023 and 2026.
