As Easter quickly approaches, Californians have likely already seen the colorful Easter candy displays showcasing typical holiday treats ranging from chocolate to Peeps.
But what is California’s favorite Easter candy? A new study from Doordash seemingly found the answer.
Cadbury Crème Egg was found to be Californians’ top Easter candy choice. The Cadbury Crème Egg was also the top choice for residents in Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Michigan, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut and other states.
Other states, such as Texas, Florida, and Georgia, overwhelmingly chose Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs as their top Easter candy choice.
Researchers determined the top Easter candy for each state based on the top purchases made on the app last year.
Nationwide, Doordash found that these candies were the top choices among users.

Americans are expected to spend approximately $3.1 billion on Easter candy this year, or around 30% of their entire food budget for the holiday, the National Retail Federation (NRF) estimated earlier this month.
However, The National Confectioners Association (NCA) estimates that number to be closer to $5 billion based on historical buying trends.
