memory lane monday -easter candy edition
My Favorite Easter Candy! revisited.
NOTE this is a recycled post but really what isn't there to like about it. It's that time of year again. all the stores are stocked with sugary delights . it's time to partake. speaking of partaking. my family consumed 2 whole bags of sweet tart jellybeans. i loaded my kitchen counter apothecary jar with 2 bags Saturday night after bedtime, and last night it was empty. and i didn't have one. I wouldn't either, i think they are grody. but they obviously enjoyed them.
I have a few favorites and Easter is just not complete without them!
- Peeps ! bunnies and chicks in normal colors like yellow and pink and purple! the new colors look gross to me. I like them fresh but I also like them a couple days later hard. We made smores with them at the cabin and they were delightful!
- Cadbury eggs! creme and Carmel , small and big. I have to get both, they are just a little different, and I miss the commercials for those.
- Reese's peanut butter eggs I prefer the big ones ,but I like the small ones too.
- Dove truffle eggs
- Cadbury mini eggs -there is just something different about them.
- Hide and seek eggs I like the soft inside , they are pure sugar but they bring back childhood memories of easter.
- Chicks and bunnies by Brachs, they taste just like orange circus peanuts but they are in chicken and rabbit shapes in spring colors-and are hard to come by. and i tried google and turned up no pictures. I am sad about that, they are delightful little treats .
DO you remember this?
and my memory? my aunt used to save all candy year round, her faves were peeps. well a few months later those little marshmallow delights would be rock hard. the trick was to microwave a hard one for a couple seconds and whahlah they would become giant peeps. a fabulous gooey treat. and if you waited for a minute to eat it, they would be crunchy. who doesn't love that?
i sure as heck did.

Wow, I think we're twins. Those are my favorites too. I'm positive we'd get along in real life.
PS I noticed on Linda's you said you know how to change the backgrounds, and would email her the instructions. Would you send me a copy too? I've wondered how to do that myself (my friend did mine for me). My email is brianwendi@msn.com. Thanks!
Unbelievably FABULOUS... I L-O-V-E Reese's PB eggs. Before the Reese's Big Cups came out, I would buy a ton of the eggs and freeze them for year round peanut butter fun!
I am still trying to figure out how to enjoy Easter candy this year. I really want to continue to lose weight, but COME ON... it is EASTER!!!! The candy is SO fab!
The Cadbury Mini Eggs are my ALL TIME favorite!! Yum!!!
O.K, my daughter made me play the "hoppy" (bunny rabbitt) commercial 20 times. You can't beat a classic! I am glad your scan is clear, and you are free of your crazy diet and can enjoy some real treats!
You are too too funny! I love that you HAVE to look for the "Easter goodness" treats at the store. :)
I so remember that commercial!! I'm not a Cadbury egg kind of person...even the mini's kind of gross me out. But give me a solid chocolate easter bunny and I'm happy!!
MMMM....Peeps! (The fresh ones are my fave)
I am salivating just thinking about them!
I LOVE Hershey's Eggs- they are like eating a huge M&M- so yummy. I look forward to Easter just for these.I also like the marshmellow chickies and bunnies. I don't get the Peeps though- those are nasty!
Cadbury Mini eggs- for sure!!
You're a woman after my own heart...anything Reese's and Cadbury mini-eggs are my faves as well!!!
Oh do I love the resees Eggs and the Cadburry eggs. To some people that gooey middle grosses them out---Not me--- the gooeier the better! :)
I stock up on the reese's pb cups and mini cadbury as well....anything chocolate, I'm all over it. Not a huge peep fan. My dad would always get the chocolate covered marshmallow bunnies....and I didn't love those either, but now I have to get them every year, just in honor of my dad!
Peanut butter eggs are hands down my favorite. I'm never understood the rage for peeps, although I always thought they were cute.
I'm a big fan of all the above candy. My DH and kids don't like what I like. That may be a good thing since i won't buy as much and eat as much! I still have V-Day candy left so I'm not ready to buy Easter Candy.
I love love love me some Cadbury Mini Eggs and reese's Eggs. Peeps gross me out so bad. Yuck!! Great memories, though!
The Reese's Peanut Butter Egg's are my favorite!!
I love good ol' plain chocolate. The only thing about peeps that I like is watching them blow up in the microwave! :)
I love those Dove Chocolate Eggs that have the soft cream Chocholate inside, I think they might be the Truffle eggs you are talking about. Those are super yummy and good thing they are only around for easter...I also love the peeps...The peanut butter ones are also delicious but give me tummy aches.
i love mini-eggs.those are my all time favorites!!
Not much to say.....I am not a big candy person! I think Cadbury eggs are gross. And Peeps are way too sweet. But if the Easter Bunny were to bring carrot cake or a fudge brownie.....now we're talking!
Love the Reeses Eggs! I can not stand Peeps. I do not even buy them for my kids. My Mom would always load my basket with them and I would be mad about it every year!! I gave them away or trashed em!
i have a very vivid memory of when i was little standing at the top of the slide and saying "thank you easter bunny, bok, bok." before sliding down...weird. but it did it over and over again.
i love love love the cadbury mini eggs....YUM!
this was a really fun post!
Darn you for putting up all of this candy deliciousness! I am jonesin' for a peanut butter egg right now. I am so going to the store on date night tonight!
My #1 fave is Robin Eggs (I prefer the big ones but also love the small ones) - they're like little candy coated whoppers! Mmmmm
I also love the PB eggs, caramel eggs, marshmallow eggs, PEEPS (have you noticed they're making them for more holidays - YAY!), I like the sweet tart jelly beans, definitely any shape of circus peanuts, dove truffles. I don't know what hide'n'seek eggs are, but if they're what I'm thinking, then I love those too. Are they a sugary candy shell with soft chewy candy inside (almost like marshmallow) and they come in spring colors?
BUT I do NOT like cadbury eggs, I usually buy a couple for Ben cuz the're his fave!
Mmmmmm I love all those easter candies! Especially the Reese's eggs!
As soon as I saw that picture my mouth started watering! I so love peanut butter eggs. For some reason they taste better than the original peanut butter cup.
My son goes crazy for peeps! That's how we got him potty trained last year :) I always liked to eat them a little crunchy too. They were just perfect after sitting in the easter basket overnight.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the peanut butter eggs. I could seriously make myself sick on those. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.
My favorites are the cadburry mini eggs and the cadburry creme eggs. Totally remember the commercial too! I didn't grow up with the peeps. I think my mom didn't like them. She always told us the cadbury creme eggs were gross so I was a little older before I got around to trying those, but they were a hit with me from the get go. Turns out she had never actually tried them, just judged them by their grody looking creme center. I am almost 100% positive taht I made her try them and that she did in fact end up liking them!
I've always thought Easter candy is the best there is....reese's peanut butter eggs and Jelly Beans! Jelly Beans, Jelly Beans! Can't live without em'
