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.

Seriously?  That's kinda funny and kinda weird.

Cadbury's chocolate is good old Midland chocolate from the UK. Of course it's winning! <---bias

I don't actually know if the stuff I think of as Cadbury's is the same available in other countries. I just know the company is old and originally British, I went to uni as an undergrad really near where the factory is. I actually come from the same city originally (though I don't live there now).

I googled it and apparently there was some furore over in the US some years ago with British Cadbury getting shot down by Hersheys or some such thing, so maybe the stuff you guys have is different? I dunno.

I find Cadbury's creme eggs are revolting. And the advert campaign about hunting them down or whatever stupidity it is each year is also annoying. So yeah. If those eggs, not a fan. If just the chocolate, then it's fine. Cadbury chocolate is fine.

I like dark chocolate best, so I usually have a dark chocolate egg. Thorntons, last year.

I like European chocolate. It's generally pretty high quality. UK chocolate is not too bad either, depending what else is in it (ie the icky creme of creme eggs :><. Not such a fan of sickly sweet chocolate like the stuff Kinder put out in their chocolate bars (the eggs are fine though. And I really hate white chocolate in all forms (it's not even really chocolate. I learned that from a chocolate museum in Brussels!) So no white chocolate for me. But I am not overly fussy about milk or dark chocolate. I like chocolate orange as well (though less with other fruit).

Last Easter I was in Japan. Sadly Japan doesn't really do Easter, so not so much on the egg front last year. Japanese chocolate is pretty good though.

I haven't tried most of the things in the poll, guess we don't have them here...but I'm not a huge fan of American chocolate. I do like Oreos, and some other US snacks we have here, but the chocolate on its own tends to be a bit sweet for me (same problem I have with white chocolate).

Tbh I'm not a chocolate kinda girl. I prefer fruity, sour or creamy candies.

The only Cadbury egg I'll eat are the caramel ones, the cream just taste's wrong to me, and even the caramel ones I don't like much. I do like some other Cadbury products, like the cookies, I just can't get behind the egg craze

Ha! I just found those rabbit ear candies! I had to grab a bag!

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 

I'm thinking of the Wreck-it Ralph 2 trailer now... LOL "Bunny gets the paaaaaaancake!"

Cadbury is, in general, one of my very favorite chocolates, so I usually get plenty of Cadbury chocolate in various forms. But this year I discovered something wonderful: Lindt Chocolate eggs! This might be the first year they made these, since I've never seen them before? Anyway, they're my new favorite. I love Lindt Chocolate Truffles, and the eggs are like large truffles.

Lindt and Anthon Bergs easter chocolates for me.

Cadbury Eggs
Reese’s Eggs
Other — Cadbury Mini Eggs. They’re the ones with crispy candy shells with chocolate inside

[achab1984]

Reese's Eggs for sure!

[Cadence]

Kinder eggs are my fave. But now, I avoid any treats with gluten, dairy, and soy... so I guess pure organic chocolate for me!

My parents love the marshmallow eggs and I've stocked myself up on sale candy of normal stuff. I've noticed the normal candy tends to go on sale while they push the new holiday stuff.
