Iowa's Favorite Christmas Treat 

According to Zippia Iowa's favorite teat is Oreo balls. I absolutely love oreo balls, so as an Iowan this makes sense... though I never saw it as a strictly Christmas treat.

It also looks like Iowa is one of the only states who picked Oreo balls, so hey go us. We have great taste.

Other nearby states like Wisconsin like Andes peppermint. While others enjoy pudding, and cookies, and not just any cookies, but vegan cookies.
