Illinois' Favorite Easter Candy Might Surprise You

When it comes to Easter candy, everyone has their go-to. Most people love chocolate-shaped bunnies and others love fluffy Peeps.

My sister and I have been addicted to the mini chocolate eggs lately. We don't even eat chocolate that often, but for some reason every time we see the bags of those chocolate eggs at the store we end up buying a bag to share. Something about the size, how it melts away in your mouth, and the softness when you bite into it is so satisfying.

Would you believe me if I said it's not Illinois' favorite Easter candy, though? Okay, it's not that hard to believe haha.

Illinois' Favorite Easter Candy Might Surprise You—Maybe

With Easter just a few days away, eggs are probably the last thing flying off shelves with how expensive they've gotten.

What's really selling fast is all the candy to fill Easter baskets. We're so good at procrastinating until the very last minute and candy is always going to be there to save the day. Sugar—always saving the day. We're projected to spend over $23 BILLION on candy this Easter. That's insane!

Most people will probably be buying Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs. Did you know it's the #1 top pick for Easter baskets in Illinois? Who doesn't love Reese's? Yum!

Other favorites include Chocolate Bunnies, Cadbury Creme Eggs, Peeps, Jellybeans, Sour Patch Kids, and Skittles. All candy you'll most likely find in your basket this year.

Now, the real question is: How many Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs is too many to consume in a single day? Not for me... asking for a friend.
