Here Comes The Easter Bunny!

[Bekuno]

Another candy thread, but keeping with the spirit of the holiday.

Easter is coming! April 1st to be exact, isn't that funny? Might want to keep an eye on your sweets this year 

My favorite part of Easter was getting a bucket full of candy every year, even when I got too old to hunt eggs I'd always get a handmade basket from my wonderful mother. 

I know that during the holidays, we often get candy we don't get any other time, so I'm wondering if there's anything your looking forward to getting for Easter, or after Easter when the candy is on sale!

Traditionally, Reese's Eggs were always at the top of my list.  Now, I maybe have one per holiday (Easter, Christmas-trees, Valentines-hearts, Halloween-pumpkins).  I like the original mini (has to be mini, otherwise too high ratio of crème to chocolate!) Cadbury crème eggs and the Cadbury Mini Eggs chocolates.  They made dark chocolate Christmas Snowballs (Christmas version of mini eggs) one year, which has now ruined the regular milk chocolate ones for me.  They started my love of dark chocolate.  Lo and behold, of course they have not made them since!   I may have one Peep each year even though I LOVED these as a kid.  My grandmother would always get the pink bunnies and yellow chicks for me, and we would share them.  Other favorites included Sweet Tart Bunnies and Chicks, and Starburst Jelly Beans.  Those are the only jelly beans I like anymore.

Cadbury's Easter eggs (I had five before Easter  )

For Easter I normally get gift cards (Amazon.uk or iTunes)

I'm into Cadbury Creme Eggs.

Cadbury eggs.

I like Mini Eggs, partly because of their colours but they are tasty as well. Hollow chocolate rabbits are good too.

PEEPS!
Today I stopped for my annual chocolate splurge - a local chocolate company does "just ears". Literally a bag of just chocolate bunny ears. So yummy.

I love the milk chocolate Cadbury mini eggs. Not the kind with that gross goop in the center

So far I've bought two of the one pound bags

[lovesbabysquirmy]

Cadbury eggs are winning??? HEATHENS, ALL OF YA! 

(I can't stand em!  )

I want to share a story.

Have you ever played Chubby Bunny?

When I was about 21 some friends and I decided to play this dumb game with Peeps. It was hilarious, great fun. I was doing well and had stuffed a mess of Peeps in my mouth. When I finally couldn't talk anymore, I did a really stupid thing. I ate them.

Marshmallow is just sugar, yeah? And Peeps are sugar covered marshmallows.

It didn't take long for all that sugar all at once to make me horrifically sick. I ended up puking in the bushes. To this day I cannot stand Peeps... they make me nauseous

Easter isn't much a holiday for me. The real holiday is the day after which I would refer to as "Discount Cadbury Creme Egg" day I look forward to that every year <3

I forgot about those!  I had some last year.  They remind me of Kinder Happy Hippo candies, which are delicious. 

PEEPS!
Today I stopped for my annual chocolate splurge - a local chocolate company does "just ears". Literally a bag of just chocolate bunny ears. So yummy.

For real?!  Are they solid chocolate or something?  Why just the ears?  I am pretty sure that I only received one chocolate bunny when I was a kid and I saved it until it went bad lol.

Cadbury eggs are winning??? HEATHENS, ALL OF YA! 

(I can't stand em!  )

To be fair, it does not specify whether it is the crème or the mini eggs, just Cadbury eggs lol.  When I was a kid, I loved the commercial with the lion and other animals trying to be the Cadbury bunny.  I wanted to try a crème egg so bad because of this commercial.  I finally did, and I didn't like it at all.  It was one of the regular sized ones.  To this day, I only like the mini crème eggs because there is a more even ratio of crème to chocolate.

I have heard of this but have never wanted to play it.  Just the thought makes me nauseous.

Haha...nice.

Other favorites around here are Chippers which are chocolate covered potato chips from a local chocolatier.  Year round yummy!  I used to get jealous of my cousins' candy at Easter because they always received that egg-shaped gum that would come in a mini egg container that I thought was the cutest thing.  Turns out the gum is actually horrid.  They would also get chocolate "tacos" from Widmans, the chocolatier that makes Chippers.  It was a chocolate covered hard taco shell with various chocolates in it.  Turns out that isn't that great either lol.

Ive got to be careful due to food intolerances.  I will grab the odd peep package even though its got stuff I react to ^^'

There are specific gummies and jellybeans that are MA safe that are to die for ^^  Super expensive (organic, free of top 10 allergens...you know the usual) but I only get them once or twice a year so ^^  Theres also a brand of chocolate that doesn't have soy as an emulsifier.

Oh! Rolo of all things is relatively safe...go figure.

I will sometimes cave and get chocolate filled with a fruit filling but its rare
