The Top Ten Favorite Easter Candies

Jelly Beans are a popular Easter favorite. Did you know that there are approximately 14 billion jelly beans sold each year? Many people have come to expect jelly beans in their Easter baskets every year. Jelly beans have been an Easter candy staple since the 1930's. Today you can get these fruit flavored beans in almost any flavor imaginable thanks to the Jelly Belly Company.

Who doesn't love the Easter chocolate bunnies? Love chocolate, then you'll love these chocolate bunnies? These chocolate bunnies are sold solid or hollow. They even come in milk or dark chocolate and even vanilla.

What about those marshmallow peeps? They can be purchased in a rainbow of pastel colors for spring. They also come in a variety of designs like bunnies, chicks, tulips and even eggs in orange cream.

There is a variety of chocolate candy bars for Easter also. Even your favorite everyday candy bar is all dressed up for the holiday. Nestle, Mars, even Cadbury companies put out Easter designs. While Kit Kat does bunny ears, Snickers, Almond Joy and Milky Way all offer egg shaped confections for the Easter holiday.

There is the infamous Cadbury Crème Eggs. Hershey's manufactures and sells these Cadbury Crème Eggs but the U.S reserves the sales of the Crème and Caramel Eggs only for Easter. Are you not familiar with these crème eggs? They are a delicious concoction with a thick milk chocolate shell with white and yellow fondant cream inside mimicking the egg white and yolk.

The Reese's Peanut Butter Egg, there is nothing more to say. There's peanut butter in the chocolate and chocolate in the peanut butter as the old advertisement puts it. Once again these are made by the Hershey Company. They are slightly larger than a regular peanut butter cup. The Reese's peanut butter egg is delicious. One will not be enough.

Don't forget the Robin Eggs. Robin eggs are a tasty, egg shaped, malted milk candy in a pastel colored candy coating. There are several companies that make these robin eggs and some even have great flavors like strawberry milkshake. These eggs are sometimes packed in tiny egg cartons to add to the Easter theme.

Then there is Pez. Pez manufacturers come out with a new Easter themed dispenser every year. This candy is timeless. This would be a perfect addition to your favorite collector's Easter basket.

There are even Easter M & M's. They come in pastel colors for spring. You can even order personalized M & M's if you order from their website.

Sweet Tart Eggs come in assorted shapes for Easter. They are shaped like chicks, ducks, bunnies and eggs. These Sweet Tarts are just the same as they were when you were a child. They are slightly sweet and a little tart all at the same time. These sweet treats have even been known to come inside a hollow chocolate egg for Easter.

All that is left to do now is to decide what shape your basket will take. Will you use plastic or edible Easter grass? Yes, there is actually edible Easter grass out there.
