    Ohioans and most other states prefer Reese's chocolate for their Easter candy, per Instacart and DoorDash sales data shared with Axios.

    The big picture: Even the Easter Bunny is feeling the pinch of inflation this year with skyrocketing cocoa prices.


    • Cocoa is more expensive than copper with prices surpassing more than $9,000 a ton for the first time on Monday, Axios' Kelly Tyko writes.
    • In all, consumers are expected to spend $3.1 billion on Easter candy this season.

    🧠 Pro tip: Do your wallet a favor by waiting until next week, when stores mark down the Easter candy like crazy.
