Subject: Easter Candy
I guess this one could go in just about any decade, but I was on the '80s when I thought of it.
What's your favorite Easter candy? For me, it's good old jelly beans, tried and true. White Chocolate bunnies and such were more exciting, but I like jelly beans now just as much as I did when I was a kid. I bought some on Saturday night just to make sure Easter didn't go by without a few jelly beans. I got some other Easter junk, too, but JBs were what I was after.
My least favorite were marshmallow Peeps. I recall they always went stale with the plastic Easter basket grass sticking to them!
:P

To me, it was never Easter without a chocolate bunny.
I eat sugar-free candy these days now that I'm counting carbs. Russell Stover had some sugar-free eggs in peanut butter and caramel flavors that were awesome - you really can't tell the difference.

I believed in the Easter Bunny until I was 10 years old - the day before Easter that year I had gone into my mom's bedroom to look for something and I saw all the Easter baskets sitting on the floor.

I second that! I really only like Reese's when they are egg shaped. They taste better.
Cadbury Cream Eggs are to die for!
Subject: Re: Easter Candy
My husband and I were discussing that over the weekend.
Weird how that it is like that.

I asked the store clerk if there were anymore Cadbury Cream Eggs, but they were all sold out. I expected as much at 11:45 on Easter eve.
I don't know when I stopped literally believing in the Easter Bunny. For the most part, it was willing suspension of disbelief.
I know I got Easter baskets until I was 14. That year, my little brother stole one of my Cadbury Cream Eggs before I woke up. I wouldn't have even noticed if he hadn't confessed on behalf of our Golden Retriever, Chester. "I think Chester got into your Easter basket and stole one of your Cadbury eggs." Even if Chester could turn a doorknob, he wouldn't limit himself to one Cadbury egg. It was easier to just let it go. I winked at Stuart and said, "Well, isn't Chester just wicked?" Stu knew I was on to him, and clammed up.
:D

I remember getting those little bottle shaped candies with the juice inside...and egg shaped gumballs.
Also..Lifesaver lollipops!
One year I got a Cabbage Patch Premie next to my basket! That was the year I FOUND OUT THERE WAS NO EASTER BUNNY.
My mom didnt do my basket till the morning and I woke up before she did...so i went back to bed..then magically it was there ;)

4th or 5th. :D
The Cadbury & Reese's eggs are great.
Though those Cadbury egg commercials, early '90's I think, were cheesy. :P
(With the animals waring rabbit ears)
But worth watching. :D

What if Peeps were full of CAULIFLOWER, what then, eh? ;)
Subject: Re: Easter Candy
These are not 80's candy but I love M&M Easter Speckled Egg's. Yum!!! Otherwise, Peeps and of course the Chocolate Bunny.
Subject: Re: Easter Candy
The peanut butter eggs and jelly beans are really good, but my real favorite is the Whoppers Malted Milk eggs. I can never just have one! And Easter is not Easter without the chocolate bunny.
Peeps are a bit too sweet for me. Remember when they first came out, they just made them the yellow color? Now they have every color peep under the sun.

Oh, Whoppers Malted Milk eggs are awesome! I would have picked them over chocolate eggs in my last minute Easter run, but they were sold out.
In the '90s I could never get with the slang "peeps" for "people," because I always pictured the marshmallow candies. I'd hear kids talking about "my peeps," and just crack up!

Oh yeah, we used to paint eggshells for Easter. I remember making a pin prick in each end of the egg...and then nearly rupturing my sinuses trying to blow the contents from one end out the other!

And everyone used the Paas dye to color the eggs.
