4 candy brands have 509 ads in the Meta Ad Library between them, and 492 of those were running when we read it on October 2, 2026. Below is a page of creative from each, what formats carry the category, and how long the ads that work stay up.
Candy is an impulse buy at the checkout, so the brands keep their characters and their seasons in front of people all year and let Halloween, Valentine’s and Easter do the selling.
The library count is everything a brand has published on Meta. The active count is what was delivering at the read. The ratio between them is the account’s posture: a large library with a small active share is a brand cycling hard, and one where nearly everything is live is running a small curated set.
Meta Ad Library, read October 2, 2026. Library and active counts are Meta’s own. 4 of these candy brands have enough creative on file for a page of their own.
