From Halloween candy to Christmas cookie exchanges, we are definitely dialing into our sweet teeth for the next few months, so buckle up!
Now, until I read this recent survey from SpinBet, I would have guessed, Illinois' most popular sweet treat would be cookies. Maybe cupcakes? It seems like every few weeks we're getting a new cookie bakery or cupcake-ry to visit, but according to this research, it's the breakfast dessert that we want the most!
National Dessert Day is on Monday (October 14, which is also my half birthday), which is why we're diving into all of this data now.

Would you believe cupcakes don't even crack the top ten in Illinois?
According to SpinBet, Donuts are the clear top dessert in Illinois with an average search volume of 22,200 per month!
Next we have cheesecake, with just 16,200 searches each month, followed by tiramisu, cookies and a tie for fifth place, apple pie and ice cream sundaes with 6,100 searches each month.

Are we searching for donuts because we don't know who sells them? We don't know what time these places open? Or we're trying to order them for delivery?
Who knows really, we just know that we're not the only ones in the country with a sugary breakfast, donuts also top the list for the most searched dessert in the United States.
I'll take a chocolate frosted chocolate donut if you're looking to get rid of one.
