Just got back from Walmart. I got DD18 a 7oz Russell Stover Milk chocolate bunny. For DD14 I got a large bar of Hershey's dark chocolate (she doesn't like milk choc.) For DH I got a bag of rolo's ok, he will have to share them with me. For everyone, I got a bag of those small chocolate easter eggs.

Haven't bought anything yet. I typically buy on Monday following Easter (no kids in our house). The prices are much better then.
 
DS's candy is almost all chocolates, this year. (He's not supposed to have the stickier stuff with his braces.) I got him Dove eggs, Reese's eggs, Cadbury eggs...oh, and Kit Kats!
 
I bought 2 pkgs of the white reeses peanut butter eggs for hubby, and 2 small hollow chocolate bunnies for me, oh and 2 bags of jellybeans
 

I bought a small bunny for my daughter because she doesn't really like chocolate. She's also getting a big bag of the candy coated eggs (can't remember the name) and an iTunes gift card. She won't even be home That weekend so she won't see it til late Sunday night.
 
We haven't bought any yet either (too much of a temptation once they're inside the house.) Still trying (unsuccessfully) to resist the girl scout cookies.
 
so far I bought those marshmallow eggs (the ones that are in the egg carton) and between the 3 kids and myself, the 2 doz are gone...lol

but I did buy a chocolate easter bunny for each of the 3 kids and son in law, those are hidden :-) And they will each get a small gift card to their fave burger place around the corner.

We don't do big Easter here, but I may be tempted to buy the 50% candy on Monday
 
Ahhh....See's eggs.....Bordeaux! Rocky Road & Chocolate. I'll buy soon, but never too early, or I'll eat it all myself!

My aunt in Ohio sent us a box of Russell Stover eggs every year. It was such a nice selection. Some marshmallow, one was a green coconut nest with jellybean eggs. Good memories! (I think we have Russell Stover in California, we just knew we'd be getting some from her.)
 
Thorntons Eggs all round, one with a soft bunny and a slightly smaller egg for someone who's less interested in chocolate... basically a mixture of white, milk and dark chocolate depending on what the person likes most :) £7 per egg or 5 for £30 :)
 
I am addicted to Laffy Taffy jelly beans. Going to go into withdrawl when I can't buy them anymore.
 
I got one of the Lindt assorted packs that has Gold Bunny Milk Chocolate, Mini Chick & Mini Lamb Milk Chocolate, Milk Chocolate & Hazelnut Carrots, White/Milk/Dark Chocolate Eggs, Milk Chocolate Hazelnut Cream Bugs & Bees and is shaped like a big carrot. We'll all split it
 
Sort of off topic - but does anyone remember the candy eggs with the hard shell and marshmallow inside. The shell was sort of thick, and the eggs came in two sizes. What were they called? I LOOOOOOVE them! But can't find them. Are they still made?
 
One chocolate bunny each and kit kats. I always buy the malted eggs to leave out( though some years I give them up for Lent) and some reeces eggs because my dh LOVES reeces anything :) They barely got that. At 17 and 20, I'm just about done stuffing baskets :) I'm sure I'll miss it though, when they are all out of the house and living on their own :(
 
I like buying good candy from a candy shop after Easter for half price. Chocolate covered coconut creme eggs, black jelly beans, solid chocolate bunnies, etc.

Before Easter I like looking at Walmart or the supermarket hoping to see a hollow bunny with its head broken off.

I think I know what you are talking about. They come in pink, yellow and maybe blue. I've seen them at the stores but I can't remember the name.
 
For each of the kids for Easter, I've got the following: 2 Kitkats, a set of Lindt gold-wrapped little bunnies, a set of Lindt chocolate carrots, & a set of Peeps w/ the chocolate on the bottoms.

I bought some jelly beans & speckled "whopper" eggs for my Easter candy dish. And I put together a little craft-treat w/ some Peeps & more speckled eggs for a class of first graders, & I bought a bag of Russell Stover assorted chocolate eggs for a class of 9th & 10th graders.

And we gave my FIL a Russell Stover Easter tin.

Edited to Add: DH & I bought ourselves some Cadbury Eggs the other day too! LOL!

I think these are like the ones you were talking about but I thought they were a different brand?
