Mine is chocolate rabbits.
(Just finished off a dark chocolate one I bought three days ago.)
And "chocolate flavored' is BLASPHEMY!
I'd swear a brown Crayola has more flavor.

(32,748 posts)They're made by Hershey's, I guess Hershey bought out their trademank in the US. Reese's is also a Hershey brand, of course.
It's possible to purchase British-made Cadbury's if you go on the Amazon-UK website and order them from Britain. Of course the shipping cost is higher so you have to decide if better quality (yum!) chocolate is worth it. Also allow up to 10 days for shipping, but it will probably get to you faster than 10 days.

(18,641 posts)Easter candy is usually too sweet and of lower quality than regular candy.
Chocolate has little chocolate taste and leaves an empty sweetness in your mouth.
I'm convinced most candy makers see Easter as a way to get quick profits by making cheap, sub par products because people don't comparison shop as with regular candy.

(24,931 posts)when I was a kid, we used to get delicious easter egg-shaped petit fours. Yum!

(102,358 posts)the extra peanut butter-- in contrast to the chocolate-- in those fat little eggs (compared to regular peanut butter cups) is just sooo satisfying...

those pastel eggs with the white junk inside
all jelly beans
Peeps
Milk Chocolate
Marshmallow anything
Agree Russel Stover Easter candies are good.

They are solid sugar but so good!

(58,352 posts)Seriously, who the fuck says care-uh-mel except jackasses and pisspots?
I also really like black jelly beans.
Peeps fucking suck, and anyone who likes peeps for anything other than microwaving or doing awesome experiments is also a jackass and a pisspot. They're so goddamn sweet and sticky. Fuck'em. Absolute shit, like the palates of the shitstains that like them.
Yeah, that's right - angry as fuck Rabrrrrrr is fuckin' back, at least for tonight.
p.s. I love you all! My heart embiggens with Hallmark-levels of joy at your presence.

(14,565 posts)To heck with specialization. That's just an excuse to be wrong. If Reese's Peanut Butter Cups are my favorite the other 364 days then they are my favorite on Easter also.
At least one full bag.
