As an expert in the field of consumer behavior and market trends, I can provide you with an informed estimate on the amount of Halloween candy sold in a year. However, it's important to note that exact figures can vary based on a variety of factors including economic conditions, population growth, and consumer preferences.

According to the National Retail Federation (NRF), in recent years, candy sales for Halloween have been significant. For instance, in 2020, the NRF reported that consumers planned to spend around $2.79 billion on candy alone for Halloween. This figure is derived from surveys and market analysis, and it includes sales from various types of candies such as chocolate, gummies, and other sweets.

It's also worth mentioning that the candy industry is quite large, with the U.S. confectionery market alone being valued at over $35 billion in recent years. While not all of this is Halloween-related, it does give an idea of the scale of the industry.

To translate this into a physical amount of candy is challenging without specific data on average candy sales per holiday. However, considering the billions of dollars spent, it's clear that the volume is substantial.
