Easter Candy favorites

[LuvOrlando]

My favorite little nugget of joy this time of year is a Russell Stover Maple Creme Egg, it's way ahead of schedule but I just nibbled some of one like Charlie from Willy Wonka.

I already picked up Jelly Bellys, some Dove Bunnies and the Brachs classics and they are hidden, to stay hidden I think I may put them in my slow cooker

Every Easter basket I make prompts the question, to Peep or not to Peep... no-one likes them but they just seem to belong in there.

Curious what other people collect.

Cadbury's Creme Eggs are my Kryptonite. And jellybeans-but they have to be the Just Born company, they're the only ones I like.

The Russell Stover Coconut Nest.

Reese's peanut butter eggs!!!!

Russell stover eggs too. Kids just want things like juicy drops, nerds, non chocolate stuff.

Reese’s eggs, Godiva chocolate rabbits, and just about any flavor Russell Stover eggs. I also like Jelly Belly jelly beans and Cadbury Mini eggs (dark and milk both). I like Easter candy better than Halloween candy.

So it's funny, so many people love these but the look of them on commercials in the 80's just totally freaked me out. I had one the first time recently, probably through prompting from raves on the Dis and discovered they are actually very yummy. Pretty sure the same happened with Dole Whips, which just didn't appeal at first blush but which grew on me

The Cadbury caramel eggs are delicious too, if you haven’t tried them.

Me too! I have no idea how a Reese’s egg can taste better than a Reese’s pumpkin. But there you go.

My favorites are Cadbury mini eggs and black jellybeans, though I don’t eat much candy anymore.

I haven't, I'll give it a go though. In our house the Cadbury Fruit and nut showed up after the Chunky fruit and nut vanished so their chocolate is nice for a nibble.

I think there is a higher ratio of peanut butter to chocolate in the eggs.

Jelly beans, Palmers hollow chocolate rabbits, and marshmallow covered eggs or bunnies

An old friend taught me how to make home-made peanut butter & home made coconut eggs, they were nothing like the ones I can buy but were really good in a different sort of way

Cadbury Creme Eggs. But a plain old Hershey bar with almonds is pretty darn good also.

Cadbury mini eggs. I haven't been able to find the chocolate ones anywhere this year!

Do you mean the little nugget ones usually wrapped in colorful foil? I will be on the lookout, those are as necessary to the vibe as the little foil Santas at Christmas

Oh Lordy. Those Cadbury mini eggs are my absolute favorite! I’ve been really good this year and haven’t purchased any…yet!

Reece's PB eggs. Costco had a huge bag on sale last month. I hid them ... and seriously forgot all about them until this post. lol

And I know they are definitely love/hate item, but dd and I like peeps, esp stale peeps. (dh doesn't care for them at all) The are no way our favorite, but getting a package is an Easter staple. However, only the yellow or white original peeps. The pink/purple ones have a funny dye flavor.

This year I have seen some crazy peep flavors, and they do not sound appealing at all. Coffee peeps? Hot Tamale peeps? No thank you.

Cadbury's Creme Eggs are my Kryptonite.

My dd's Kryptonite too. She loves the caramel ones as well, but the original is her favorite.

I like toasted Peeps. Toast over a flame and then wait a little bit for the burnt sugar coating to cool. Enjoy. They taste like Creme Brulee.
