What is the day of the year with the most candy sales?
The day of the year with the most candy sales is October 28th. And of all the 365 days in the year, the top five candy selling days are all in October. According to a recent survey from the National Confectioners Association, 72% of all candy spending this Halloween will be on chocolate.

Poor question, as no country was mentioned. I guessed that the answer was something to do with the USA and Halloween, but that wasn't mentioned in the question.

My first job was as a cook and counter boy in a candy shop at Fishermans' Wharf in San Francisco in 1965-66.

I know this was US-centric, but for fun I Googled what day was tops for international candy sales and nobody has any data. There are both an International Candy Day and Month. Chocolate seems to take the lead. Hope this helps ease the suffering, lol.

Jarrah Iluka, I think I already questioned your level of intelligence, your profile says you have a degree you obviously have no common sense.
So you do fit the American description of a twerp.

Malcolm Harris, Could be anywhere, But coming from South Africa I can understand your reply
Why is South Africa so dangerous now?
South Africa has a notably high rate of murders, assaults, rapes and other violent crimes, compared to most countries. Crime researcher Eldred de Klerk concluded that poverty and poor service delivery directly impact crime levels, while disparities between rich and poor are also to blame.
Although Halloween, a holiday celebrated in most North American and European countries on October 31, was not recognized in South Africa until about a decade ago, people today do celebrate this spooky occasion in a variety of different, fun ways.
