Ahead of Easter Sunday on March 31, 2024, online food ordering and delivery platform DoorDash shared interesting data about American consumers’ candy-ordering habits.
"For many, Easter is synonymous with long-held traditions like family dinner, egg hunts and baskets filled with beloved candy and treats," Alanna Shipley, consumer insights expert at DoorDash, told FOX Business.
"We know Easter candy reigns supreme as the favorite holiday candy of choice, and we’ve seen one festive treat remain a staple in many shoppers’ carts: chocolate Easter eggs," Shipley added.
She said that last year was no exception, "with Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs being the top-ordered Easter candy on DoorDash nationwide, followed by the Milk Chocolate Cadbury Creme Eggs." (Those on the West Coast, she said, largely prefer the Cadbury Creme Egg as their No. 1 treat.)
In celebration of the upcoming holiday, Doordash also created a map showing the most popular candy in every state in America.
Check out the map below to see the sweet treat that reigns supreme in your neck of the woods, based on the top candy purchases per state in the two-week period leading up to and ending on Easter last year.

"As we near the holiday, we’ve also noticed that many consumers wait until the ‘week of’ to stock up on certain items like candy and groceries for their festive celebrations," said Shipley.
She said that with "thousands of local and national grocers, retailers and convenience stores on our platform, consumers no longer have to hop to the store and can get all their Easter essentials delivered same-day."

DOORDASH INC. Here are the top-ordered Easter candy choices nationwide, according to DoorDash's 2023 ordering data: Reese's Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs Candies. Cadbury Creme Egg Milk Chocolate Easter Candy.
The clear takeaway is that Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs – along with their less festive standard cup version – are the nation's most-purchased treat, but beyond that, there were some key differences in their findings. Instacart noted the debut of the Kinder Joy chocolate candy egg, which includes a tiny toy.

German immigrants originated the edible Easter egg, which was first made of sugar and pastry in the 1800s. Eggs symbolize new life and good luck, very suitable for this holiday. By the late 1800s, U.S. candy makers were offering both hollow and filled chocolate eggs and eggs of unique flavors.
Through the Hims & Hers partnership with DoorDash, customers can purchase such health-and-wellness items as vitamins, supplements, shampoo and conditioner, vibrators, facial moisturizer, vitamin C serum, condoms and lubricant.
