Google Trends: Illinoisans Want Chocolate Covered Strawberries is Illinois Favorite Thanksgiving Side Dish! or is Illinois Favorite Winter Sandwich!
With Valentine s Day coming up on Sunday (by the way, extra points to you if this is the first time you ve thought about Valentine s Day since last year), we re being treated to the list of the country s favorite Valentines candy, state-by-state.
Career-options website Zippia just dropped their listings of the country s favorites, and I ll admit to being somewhat skeptical of what s being called Illinois favorite Valentines candy. I m skeptical because.well, are chocolate-covered strawberries really a candy?
Using Google Trends, we determined what Valentine’s Day candy each state eats a disproportionate amount of. We defined Valentine’s Day candy as candies that peaked in search volume for the big day. From there, we determined what candy is searched a disproportionately, high amount in each state.
Notes
Use any kind of chocolate you prefer, whether it is bittersweet, semi-sweet, milk, dark or white. We like to use chips because they melt quickly and evenly, but chopped chocolate or chunks work well too. It s worth it to use good quality chocolate with the fewest ingredients, though you don t need to splurge for the fanciest stuff. To make vegan chocolate covered strawberries, just make sure to use dairy-free chocolate (most dark chocolate works but check the ingredients).
Ingredients 1 (10-ounce) bag chocolate chips, or chocolate of your choice (about 1 3/4 cups) 2 Tablespoons coconut oil (optional) Sprinkles, finely crushed cookies, chopped nuts, shredded coconut etc. (optional)
