10 Classic Easter Candies Ranked

Easter weekend brings colorful eggs, too many large fuzzy bunny suits, and some of the best (and worst) candy you'll eat all year. Here is a list of 10 classic Easter candies I can count on finding every year in my Easter basket, ranked worst to best.

10. Whopper's Robin Eggs

This is only last on the list because I don't really like Whoppers all that much when they're normal shaped and brown. Make them oval and throw some color on them, and you're almost guaranteed to accidentally grab this nasty malt ball instead of a Reese's egg.

9. Cadbury Creme Egg

They're alright if you're looking to eat your entire sugar intake in about two bites, but they are entirely too sweet for me. The flavors are always hard to predict, you never know what flavor they are. I guess it doesn't really matter though, because they all taste like pure sugar to me.

8. Giant Bunny

This guy is a classic; he probably ends up in every Easter basket across the country. No matter what bunny shape he takes, whether he's solid or hollow, you can never go wrong with a chocolate bunny. He only ended up this far down on the list because you can't really eat one all in one sitting (well, you probably could... but you shouldn't), and he's kinda plain.

7. Jelly Beans

Another Easter classic! Jelly beans are great, and even though you sometimes don't know the flavor, they're generally all pretty good (unless you get the Beanboozled kind). However, mine always end up sinking through the Easter grass to the bottom of the basket and I can't find them half the time.

6. Peeps


I know a lot of people who absolutely love Peeps, and I feel like they're just such a classic Easter candy that they had to end up on the list. The marshmallowey-goodness with colored sugar packed on the top is a heart attack waiting to happen, but at Easter, it's worth it. I really only eat these at Easter, so they rank a little higher up on the list.

5. Easter M&M's

M&M's are basically a classic candy for every holiday, and the Easter ones are just as great. Whether they're regular, peanut, or peanut butter, M&M's are always an easy snacking candy. Also I really like the color scheme of the Easter ones, and the peanut butter eggs are AMAZING.

4. Lindt Chocolate Carrots

Lindt Chocolate is possibly one of the best out there, and the fact that it's shaped like a little carrot? Adorable! It even comes with a useful handle. It's the perfect amount of chocolate for a little treat.

3. Reester Bunny


Alright, now we're getting to the good stuff. I absolutely love Reese's so there's no doubt that the Reester Bunny makes the top three of my list. The peanut-buttery-chocolatey goodness of a Reese's wrapped up in an Easter wrapper and shaped like a bunny, how cute is that?

2. Dove Chocolate Eggs

Dove chocolate is probably one of the best chocolates for a good price, and definitely my favorite chocolate item in my Easter basket. They are nice for a little pop of chocolate, but not too big to eat a couple in one sitting. Dove chocolates are always smooth and flavorful, and complete my Easter basket.

1. Crybaby Eggs

THESE ARE SO GOOD and if you haven't tried them, you need to. I discovered these a few years ago by complete chance, and my Easter basket has never been the same. If you like sour things, these are amazing. I know I complained about Cadbury eggs being filled with pure sugar and these are literally pure sugar inside, BUT IT'S WORTH IT I SWEAR. They're gum filled with sour crystals, and they are absolutely my favorite Easter candy.

So, will some of these classics end up in YOUR Easter basket this year? Make sure you try some of the ones you've never had before, along with enjoying the classics. But above all, have a Happy Easter!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
