Most of you love chocolate bunnies, but have your favorites

The folks at a Michigan superstore are ringing in the good news for Easter, and they're telling us about some of your habits!

Meijer says 44% of Easter purchases are "impulsive." But what are you buying - and what are you eating?

Meijer says solid chocolate rabbits are more popular than hollow ones, by a margin of 3 to 1. And 89% of you eat the ears first.

Packaged chocolate represents 40% of the easter season candy sales.

And nearly 25 percent of sales come from novelties, like "Peeps" or other Easter candy.
