With Easter just a few weeks away, new research reveals what Americans are buying and eating for the holiday this year.

The Instacart Easter food poll finds:

  • Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs top the list of candies sold, securing the number one spot in 29 states.
  • Peeps and jelly beans are still popular choices, with 51% of respondents still planning to get jelly beans and 42% still buying Peeps.
  • Aside from candy, one item many shoppers are adding to their Instacart baskets is food dye for egg decorating.
