Halloween might be the ultimate candy holiday, but Easter is its pastel-fueled cousin, serving up candy in every form, from foil-wrapped bunnies to egg-shaped favorites and shareable handfuls made for snacking.
Food delivery company DoorDash analyzed ordering data in the two-week period leading up to Easter in 2025.
From crowning the top Easter candy nationwide to spotlighting state favorites and mapping the most-loved Peeps colors and flavors, DoorDash revealed a snapshot of how America will be snacking during the holiday.
