I use to like those, but I can never finish one without feeling sick :gurn:

I pretty much like anything chocolate and all the minis that come out for the holiday. I can't really think of anything that is only our for Easter that I like though; I hate those Peeps :p

[bichonlvr]

BOTH cadbury eggs..yummy..I found the ones with the hard shell in dark chocolate :)

Reese's eggs...I swear they are about 10x better than normal Reese's cups.

[Rainbow Brite]

Dove Truffle Eggs!!! They're DIVINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[WBandMe]

[katrina7875]

Definitely Cadbury's Mini Eggs and now that they come in dark chocolate I'm in BIG trouble. I hate peeps too but FH loves them. I love microwaving them and watching them grow bigger and bigger.

[WebLady]

I love microwaving them and watching them grow bigger and bigger.haha - Have you ever put tooth picks in them and made them "fight"? :bblol:

[FFC]

Funny story: We were making smores last week with some friends of ours - one of them used a peep for his marshmallow and said it was quite gross :rofl:

[lize566]

I love peeps and the reese eggs-they are much better then regular ones! There's more peanut butter I think!

[TangoWedding]

Malted robin's eggs! OMG YUM! :flopsy:

[KMS]

[domeafavor]

I love cadbury eggs. Another favorite even though it's not easter specific is jelly belly beans!

[SerendipityCrafts]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh DH brought me a little Lindor egg last night. It was wonderful but he's spoiled everything now. I don't think I can ever go back to the plain mini eggs .... LOL

Yummmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also like homemade eggs that the "church ladies" make. They are similar to Laura Secord Cream eggs - http://www.laurasecord.ca/seasonal.php

The inside isn't "flowing" but solid. The whole thing is solid and can be sliced, like a hard boiled egg.

These delicious cream filled eggs taste just like a very famous store bought one. They are easy to make and kids and adults love them.

Ingredients:
1 cup soft butter
2 tsp salt
4 tsp vanilla
1 can condensed milk (Eagle Brand)
10 cups icing sugar
1 tsp. yellow food coloring
1 lb. semi-sweet chocolate

Method:
Beat butter, salt and vanilla until fluffy. Add milk, beat in sugar. Blend until stiff. Dust with brown sugar. Knead til smooth.

Set aside more then 2/3 of mixture. To the remaining mixture add yellow food coloring. Blend in well. Divde yellow and white into 16 or 24 pieces. Shape yellow into ball, mold white around yellow to form an egg shape. Dry at room temperature on paper towels for 24 hours.

Melt chocolate in double boiler or in microwave until smooth. Dip eggs in chocolate. (parafin wax may be added and melted with chocolate to prevent chocolate from melting in your hands). Once dipped cool at room temperature. Refrigerate after cool.

When sliced these eggs will have a white cream filling with a yellow filling that appears to be the yolk. They look nice sitting in an Easter basket!!

[ChibiAiChan]

lindt chocolates... good for anytime, actually =)

[*SoontobeMrs.Fowler*]

i loveeeee reese eggs!!!!!

[Nekochanpurr]

[BrideInCuffs21]

[NOTKT]

I actually really like jelly beans, not Jelly-Belly's but the normal Easter jelly beans. Mmmm

[kemalc2]

I am hooked on Robin Eggs (whoppers with the candy coating) I dont know what it is, but i cant stop eating them

[Brad's Bride in 08]

Reese's eggs...I swear they are about 10x better than normal Reese's cups.


I LOVE Reese's eggs.... or any shape of the reese's creation like christmas trees and hearts, the shapes always taste better!!

[Scrwballsgrl]

ya'll are gonna think this so gross but I'll blame it on heredity b/c my Gramma loves 'em too.....Black licquorice jelly beans,lol. They are da'bomb!

[brendalin]

Ummmm..... CANDY!!! I love Reeses Eggs! Robin Eggs! Mini Cadberry Eggs! OMG! i stopped at Wilmars a place that is by my work to pick up some chocolates for the secretary at FH's work (she got me a list with all the guys he works with and their addresses). This place is her favorite, and they had fresh made mint truffels for you to sample, and the dipped it in a chocolate fountain ofr you! OMG!!!! I almost died! Now I know why this place is her favorite!

[70707Bride]

I like those cream eggs! I only like chocolate bunnies if they're hollow, and peanut butter eggs (those ones like reeses peanut butter cups).

[RebeccaRush]

I am the biggest Peep fan alive:laugh:

[FFC]

I am the biggest Peep fan alive:laugh:

Do you actually eat them??

[RebeccaRush]

I try not to! But I LOVE THEM!!

[Nekochanpurr]

I am the biggest Peep fan alive:laugh:

You'll have to fight my mom for that title! :upsidown:

[FLAteacher]

cadbury eggs!! :hare:

Ditto!!
And the Peeps.

[70707Bride]

Ooo, I forgot about Peeps! I like to let them get a little stale so they are chewy to eat and not so soft. I'm weird I know.

[Whitewater]

Peeps are fantasic to play with :) But I find the sugar and marshmallow combo a little much. Have any of you guys ever seen Lord of the Peeps online? Google it, you'll be glad you did.

I like the cadbury carmel eggs ok, I've never really been into candy -- once I got into my teens my tastes changed, or something, and candy just doesn't do it for me anymore.

Although, I do like fine chocolate -- and the darker the better!

One of my favorite kinds of chocolate is this organic/fair trade brand that makes a very dark chocolate bar w/ coffee nibs. Good stuff!

[rainbowtreat]

I love dark chocolate or Lindt chocolate. I can get those any time of year. There is no one favortie eatsre candy I HAVE to have. I make srue to bu stuff for the kids baskets that I know I will like though lol.

[FFC]

Not sure if I mentioned this before, but what I'm going to do is go through the candy with my mom and pick out all the blue, black and white candies and that way she can give the rest of the candy for easter baskets, and I can have some color coordinated candy for my buffet :)

[Parhelion]

Cadbury eggs have always been my downfall. My fave has to be their orange creme ones....drool...

I love the Russel Stover eggs, coconut cream covered with milk chocolate. YUM! Reese's eggs are a favortie too!

[Measha]

I love anything marshmallow covered in chocolate. Also a big fan of the hershey coconut kisses they put out for easter this year. Yum!
