Easter is an awesome holiday. It's one of my favorite holidays to spend with my family. During Easter, we are able to come together as a family and laugh, eat and play together. One of my favorite traditions that we have with my family is Easter egg hunting. The best part about finding Easter eggs is the candy that is stuffed inside. Everyone has their own personal ranking of Easter candy. Here's my list of the best and the worst Easter candy ever.
1. Cadbury Mini Eggs
These are the Holy Grail of Easter candy. Cadbury Mini Eggs are basically high-quality M&Ms. If you get a bag of these for Easter, cherish them. Or eat the whole bag. Whatever makes you happy.
2. Starburst Jellybeans
Nothing says Easter like Starburst Jellybeans. These little balls of fruity joy are the best jellybeans out there. Some of my favorite memories include finding eggs stuffed to the brim with these things. It's all the flavor of a Starbust, but jammed packed into a tiny jellybean. These are pure happiness.
3. Reese's Eggs
These are amazing. I swear the egg shaped Reese's taste better than the normal cups! Eating these for a solid week may or may not be on my schedule after Easter.
4. Chocolate Bunny (Hollow)
The hollow chocolate bunnies are the best. The hollow kind allows you to eat a chocolate bunny without cracking a tooth. The solid chocolate bunnies can be overwhelming and messy. Hollow is simple. Simple is the necessity to Easter candy.
5. Cadbury Eggs
These are delicious. The orange creme that fills the inside of the egg makes my mouth water. You can't go wrong with Cadbury during the Easter season.
6. Butterfinger Nest Eggs
Usually, Butterfingers are not my go-to sweet treat. However, in egg form, they become a little bit better tasting. If you like Butterfingers, go for these. I, however, would stay loyal to Reece's and the Cadbury Mini Eggs.
7. Mini Robin Eggs
These are a hit and miss. If you're a fan of Whoppers, you probably enjoy these little egg crisps. Mini Robin Eggs get points for being festive, but they are still kind of gross.
8. Solid Milk Chocolate Bunny
While these are cute and festive, these are a pain to eat. The chocolate is not nearly as good on these as they are on the hollow chocolate bunnies. Plus, you will probably die eating one of these in one sitting. I would pass on these.
9. Easter Egg Gum
While these were fun to get as a kid, as an adult I do not appreciate them as much. The flavor goes away within two seconds of chewing, and there are better options of Easter candy out there. Pass.
10. Peeps
The only place Peeps need to be on Easter is in the trash. Do not buy these for yourself and do not buy these for anyone you love. Be better than the Peeps. Throw them away and do not look back.
There you have it! The Easter season brings tons of yummy choices of treats to buy. Make sure to buy discounted chocolate after the 16th! You won't want to miss any opportunity to stock up on chocolate around the house. If you're tempted to buy Peeps, just remember that you're better than that.
