Least favorite: Jellybeans and Peeps. If I were Jesus and I found out that these were included in the celebration of my resurrection, I am putting my ass back in that tomb and rolling the stone over the entrance again.
Favorite: Hershey chocolate bunnies and literally any Reese's product that ever existed
I can’t remember the brand, but they do flat chocolate eggs in a bunch of different flavors…. I used to love the maple cream, but I haven’t seen them in a few years.
Easter specific favorites - Cadbury chocolate eggs, the solid chocolate ones with the crunchy coating, are my all time favorite and I miss them at other times of the year. And Starburst used to have jelly beans in all the red flavors that were great, but I haven’t seen them in a couple years so I presume they aren’t being made anymore.
Easter specific least favorites - peeps, Cadbury *cream* eggs. Blech.
As far as brands you can get year round, Reese’s eggs are the best. They’re the superior Reese’s holiday shape IMO. And Twix eggs are a relative newcomer that IMO does it very well.
Jelly bean commentary - they’re neither a favorite nor a least favorite. To me they’re like candy corn; I buy one bag per season and then don’t want any more after that. I do like black and was bummed to see they took them out of the assortment. I miss them but I would never buy the bag of all black. Oh and Brach’s only; no other brands are acceptable.

Most: Whoppers Robin Eggs. At least 2 bags every year. Also, Cadbury mini eggs in dark chocolate. I'm thinking about heading down to See's Candies to see if they still make those big chocolate cream eggs. We always had those when I was a kid.
My H is a jelly bean purist; he will only Brach's Jelly Bird Eggs. Was very surprised to see black beans were eliminated, but that means less work for me to weed them out and then throw them away.
Least: I'm with glw and @patsybaloney. I can't think of an Easter candy I won't eat. I guess a lot of Peeps? I can handle one. Chocolate covered ones are better. But I'll even eat the cheapest, shittiest drugstore chocolate bunny. Chocolate is chocolate, even when it's not technically chocolate.
Every year I make my claim that Easter candy is the best of all the holiday candy and I still stand by that. I love the majority of it and may or may not have spent $100 on it the other day...
My favorite of all the options are all the different varieties of jelly beans available! And running a close second is lemon kit kats - they were new last year and as soon as they came out this year H bought me 3 bags LOL
I don't dislike them but I could do without cream eggs, the consistency is a bit much for me.

We had a campout a few weeks ago and a visiting group brought us a s’mores buffet. They put Peeps on the buffet and they were by far and away the favorite. When they hit the flames, their outsides brûléed. It was soooo yummy.

Favorite: Cadberry Mini Eggs, Least Favorite: Malt Eggs
Funny story, I thought I never had Cadberry Mini Eggs until I was an adult. My sister said my Grandma, who hosted a huge extended family Easter, always had them in her candy dish with the malt eggs. Basically my older siblings always ate all the good candy and left me with the gross ones.
I have a love-hate relationship with Cadbury crème eggs and Peeps. I might eat one a year and then feel blah.
