What’s your favorite Easter candy?
Loading ...There are certain candies that make appearances in most Easter baskets every year, one of them is the chocolate bunny. Chocolate bunnies are so popular, many candy companies make them exclusively during Easter including Palmer and Russell Stover (which are the biggest chocolate bunny makers). Most Easter baskets are even based around a chocolate bunny theme. Chocolate bunnies are available in either milk, dark or white chocolate, can be either hollow or solid and come in a variety of different sizes.
Another Easter candy favorite are jelly beans which are loved all year round but they are most popular this season. And just for Easter, there are new pastel colored jelly beans which also introduce new fun flavors. Another hit are Starburst jelly beans which are very good if you love the great taste of original Starbursts.
Lastly, to get in the spirit of Easter, there is a tradition in the candy making industry during this time of year to make everything egg-shaped. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, M&Ms, Whoppers, Hershey’s marshmallow eggs and so many more famous candy companies carry out this tradition each year. What do you hope to find in your basket?
