Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are preferred by the majority of Americans polled, with more than 36 percent rating the sweet-and-salty treat as their favorite. That is more than twice the amount of people who voted for any other brand of candy.

The results come after Bid on Equipment released its findings of which state prefers which candy – where Reese’s was also the overwhelming winner.
