The Easter candy thread

[cattledogkisses]

What's your favorite, your Achilles' heel, that one thing you can never resist?

It's jelly beans for me.  Smucker's were my all-time favorite, but they sadly discontinued them.  Starburst jelly beans are my next favorite.  I mentioned it in the chat thread, but my UO is that I love black licorice jelly beans. 

I also love Peeps, which can be polarizing sometimes.

Reese’s eggs, 100%. Forever and ever.

The holiday Reese’s are all far superior to their cup counterparts, and the Eggs are king of them all.

I plan on doing a very scientific experiment this weekend and using an egg in a s’mores rather than plain chocolate. It will be like a fluffer nutter s’mores mashup. I’m way more excited than anyone should be about dessert.

Dove milk chocolate eggs

[sofamonkey]

PB eggs are always good. I like the smaller flat ones over the big thick ones. I like the creamier PB over the chunky of the thick ones (not that I’d say no to either!!)

Otherwise, some chocolate - Lindt small candies are good. Pretty much any jelly bean. I also like peeps, but 2 a year is my limit. Haha

It used to be the Cadbury Creme Egg, but now they just taste like pure sugar

I love my plain chocolate solid bunny with a jar of peanut butter!

[pinkballoons]

Peeps. Must be yellow or pink, and must be rabbits. I have no interest in the chicks or any other colored sugars.

I also love the SweeTarts Chicks, Ducks, & Bunnies.

[mrshandy]

Cadbury mini eggs.

lemoncupcake, Reese's s'mores are delicious! That's how we usually do them in our house. Cookies and Cream are usually yummy as well.

FROZEN REESES EGGS. Why yes I did eat one at 5:30 am this morning.

my next is cadbury mini eggs

third is whoppers robins eggs but I always get sick off them

and I love Jelly Belly jelly beans but mostly just the pear flavor

[winecat]

Cadbury mini eggs, the Robin's malted milk eggs, and Peeps are my favorite.

[racegrrl714]

Reese's eggs are the absolute best. I tried to get some of the lemon Kit Kats in my last grocery order but they were out of stock. *sad trombone*

Royal Dark Cadbury Mini Eggs and Reese's Peanut butter eggs

[litebright]

Bubble gum eggs. I love them so much. Pure chewy sugar. I like the speckled ones and even the smarties ones.

I like black licorice jellybeans, too. It's the only jellybean I actually like, and I prefer to buy a whole bag of them rather than dig through all the nasty fruit flavors.

ETA: Ohhhh, Sweettart chicks/ducks/bunnies. Although the ones that I found this year are tiny, I liked the big ones. 

[susiebw]

Cadbury mini eggs have been my go to for years and years. We even had them on our candy buffet at our September wedding because I love them so much.

But then this year, I discovered the dark chocolate mini eggss, and now I have a new favorite.

I also love those cheap jelly bird eggs.  The speckled ones are best.

[Jalapeñomel]

All the jelly beans except the white ones.

[Patsy Baloney]

Cadbury creme eggs.

I’m always tempted to take the big display stand to the register and say, “How much?”

I also LOVE robin’s eggs.

Fruit candy-wise, I love sweet tarts chicks, ducks, and bunnies.

ETA: Reese’s eggs are at the top of the shaped-Reese’s pile as far as I’m concerned. I LOOOVE the white chocolate version.

Russell Stover maple creme eggs

Growing up, the different flavors came in a huge variety pack. I used to cry from the sheer joy of receiving it from the Easter bunny.

[mockingbird]

Roasted peeps - the sugar makes a crust, like creme brûlée’s- so good

I also like to eat all the black jelly beans.  Last year DH bought some sort of variety that didn’t have any black ones, I was so disappointed

Cadbury Mini Eggs and Starburst jelly beans.

[mrsd2006]

Cadbury mini eggs (milk chocolate) followed by Cadbury caramel eggs

[simpsongal]

I love a high quality, hollow milk chocolate rabbit.

I used to like cream eggs but now I feel regret the moment I bite into one.

I love the black jelly beans too.  One year my husband bought me a whole bag of them

I love Reese’s eggs, Cadbury eggs, and black jelly beans.

Reese's cup in a s'more is amazing, so eggs will be insane!!

High-quality hollow chocolate bunnies. For some reason, hollow chocolate where it gets really thick at the bottom and the ears at the top - perfection.

I can resist most other things but I do love a good Reese's egg. I don't like the taste of straight-up sugar or really sweet chocolate, so jelly beans, Cadbury eggs, Peeps and a lot of other traditional Easter candy is not my jam.

This sounds like the only way I would eat them.

I, too, like the starburst jelly beans.

I am going to confess that I have never in my life bought Easter Candy.
