What's your favorite Easter candy?

My favorite Easter candy - these:





Sugar-candy outer (in white or pink or lavender or blue or yellow), inside is a white marshmallow center. Mmmmmmm.

They're hard to find these days. I'm going lookin' this weekend. Target and Walgreen's didn't have 'em.

occasionally, altho they are smaller. But they are not individually wrapped and will have brighter colors.

Pure sugar. Mmmmmmmm.

....if you're careful, you can split then in half lengthwise. Then lick out the luscious creamy filling! Second to that I'd have to say Peeps....but the original yellow kind only . I am a purist about some things!

My all time favorite Easter candy!

I never knew anybody else who ever liked them.

And yes...they are very hard to find


Second favorite...peeps. In fact, I'm just finishing off a small package of purple chicken peeps. Bit off their asses, then their heads. Mmmmm

Problem with Peeps is that they are so lightweight that I tend to eat too many and get kinda sick.

I love the pure sugar candy.

goodness inside those candy shells!

The red ones were my favorites.

And yeah, the peeps. I only ate five of them (with a glass of chocolate milk) before bedtime last night and didn't feel very well for a while.

Hi,
The malted milk egg things like whoppers but in egg form with candy coating. Great for coloring lips when I was a kid, hehe.

Peace

I just got the last one from the first bag of the season, and gave my DH and DS the last two Riesen chocolate caramels.

...and it was sinfully good.

Be careful of the sugar coating. It gets ridiculously hot and sticky. I burned my fingers.

I plan to try the microwave peeps next...

Favorite Easter candy is the malted milk eggs.

Not the chocolate coated ones but the flavored ones. Not too bad.

I can't find the chocolate coated ones this year but I have not done an extensive search.

when I first saw them. They're pretty good.

I always liked those pinwheel cookies with the chocolate coated marshmallow so I think that's why I liked the dipped peeps. And Trader Joe's has a minty chocolate covered marshmallow that's delicious!
