JACKSON, Tenn. — If you have a sweet tooth, you are in luck for the next thirty days.

June is National Candy Month!

From chocolate, to gum, to sour candy, the options are endless when it comes to satisfying those sweet cravings.

The top three candy flavors in America are very similar: they are all red fruits! Cherry, strawberry, and watermelon are the country's favorites.

The top three favorite candies are chocolate, gummies, and taffy.

You can enjoy candy with friends, as a late night snack, or on a long road trip.

This is why National Candy Month is in June, as it can kick off your summer with a sweet start.

"There's no better way to kick off summer and all of those summer activities than by celebrating the unique role that chocolate and candy can play in our lives," said Carly Schildhaus with the National Confectioners Association.

Just remember to keep those teeth healthy while celebrating this month.
