Walmart Reveals the #1 Easter Candy in New York

What is the most popular Easter candy in New York? Walmart has cracked the egg to unveil each state’s favorite Easter candy.

According to new state-by-state sales data from Walmart, shoppers across New York and New Jersey overwhelmingly reached for the same quirky favorite, and its not what you think.

In a region where dessert is serious business — think New York’s iconic bakeries and New Jersey’s cannoli counters and boardwalk sweets — the most popular Walmart Easter treat in both states last year wasn’t artisan. it was Reese’s Mini Carrots.

It’s a playful surprise — and a sweet reminder that even in the land of world-famous pastries, nostalgic candy still wins hearts (and Easter baskets).

And while NJ and NY went for chocolate carrots, other Northeast neighbors chose differently: Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Vermont leaned classic with Cadbury Mini Eggs, while Maryland and DC reached for jellybeans. Clearly, the Easter candy map is as diverse as the region’s dessert culture.
