eggs. What about you?

[MLAA]

1. Nestle's Crunch for me.

[NJCher]

2. Milk chocolate bunnies

And cream-filled eggs.

[Archae]

14. You bet!

And not those abominable "chocolate flavored" bunnies.

Also the Cadbury caramel eggs.

[CanonRay]

3. Chocolate rabbit.

Didnt care about the rest

[woodsprite]

4. Reese's eggs, white choco hollow bunnies, and

Russel stover coconut birds nests with jelly beans.

[Bluethroughu]

5. Robins' eggs...Whoppers shaped like eggs in pastels.

[Polly Hennessey]

6. The Cadbury eggs.

[Bristlecone]

7. Jelly beans, anything chocolate, and yes, a peep or two

[Ahna KneeMoose]

8. Consider Me An Oddity

As I only enjoyed the plain(est) of milk chocolate treats and not at all the other gussied-up candies.

[Diamond_Dog]

9. Brachs' malted milk robins eggs

malted milk center, covered in chocolate and candy shell.

I would give away the Peeps. Ugh

[chillfactor]

10. jelly beans

especially the black ones

[lkinwi]

11. Milk chocolate bunny

[Mr.Bill]

12. I'm old enough to remember

the chocolate rabbit being solid all the way through. First time I bit into a hollow one I felt like I was robbed. It was good to learn what being a consumer was going to be like, though.

[NJCher]

15. Life lessons

From the Easter basket.

[Mr.Bill]

16. Well put. n/t

[RockRaven]

13. See's Candies milk chocolate, the solid foil-wrapped little eggs

Digging around in that plastic grass stuff to find every last one hiding in the bottom of the basket...

[Luciferous]

17. Same as you Deb. They just seem like they

have more peanut butter than the regular Reeses cups.

[lastlib]

18. Malted milk balls/Easter eggs

Dey are da Bomb!

[Nittersing]

19. I don't really remember the candy...

I remember getting hyacinths at church. And hunting for eggs.

We had the baskets with the green stuff and wrapped chocolate eggs, jelly beans... maybe a rabbit? But the candy was never really a focus.

[debm55]

21. When I was a child, we had the blessing of the baskets on Easter Saturday. But if I remember

correctly, it was mostly food. We didn't any flowers on Easter. Hyacinths are a beautiful smelling flower.Thank you for sharing your memories.We can have the focus of Easter and still remember the treats in the basket.

[Phentex]

20. Peeps and those crunchy bright colored candy eggs...

ya know pure sugar!

[highplainsdem]

22. Whoppers Robin Eggs and chocolate bunnies.

[yellowdogintexas]

23. chocolate. I hate jelly beans and those godawful marshmallow

egg things. If I were doing Easter stuff now, I would add Peeps to that hated list. They are cute as hell, but I do hate marshmallow.

[debm55]

24. You didn't like peeps???? I liked them when they were fresh and soft. I read somewhere that this

year, they have a Dr.Pepper Easter peep.

[yellowdogintexas]

26. they did not have Peeps when I was a kid.

Plus they are marshmallow which I despise (except in s'mores, I suppose)

[yellowdogintexas]

28. But I do love other uses for them!

[debm55]

29. That is so darn funny. I have seen where Science teachers do experiments with stale peeps.

[debm55]

30. Yellowdog, you should start a thread of what to do with the peep type candy, after you get sick of

them.

[quaint]

25. Jordan Almonds

Yum.

[AllaN01Bear]

27. choclolate wabbits .

[debm55]

33. Solid or hollow wabbits?

[AllaN01Bear]

34. both.

[Raine]

31. Those eggs that have a hard candy coating on the outside

and some white surgery filling on the inside.

[debm55]

32. Oh, I remember them , but not the name. Was the cover in a foil like covering ?

[Raine]

35. No they don't have wrapper on them. The eggs are brightly colored

red, purple, green etc. I don't know the name of them either, they're not easy to find.

[debm55]

39. Gee Raine, I am sorry but I really don't know of any without a cover. Maybe someone knows the name.

[Elessar Zappa]

36. Cadberry Eggs!

[debm55]

37. But don't they have a foil cover?

[Elessar Zappa]

38. Yes.

I love those eggs even though the center is a bit too sweet.

[debm55]

41. But she said they didn't have a foil wrapper.

[Ocelot II]

40. Cadbury eggs!

[debm55]

42. Don't they have covers? I have never eaten one. But Raine said they had no covers.

[Ocelot II]

43. They have foil wrappers.

=

[debm55]

45. I hate to say it, but they look a little gross. I never had one before. Do they really run out of

chocolate that way? We got the cheap eggs that came in a plastic bag and had a thicker filling.

[Ocelot II]

46. I haven't had one in a long time but I don't remember that they were that runny.

[Downsouthjukin]

44. Right there with you.

I always hated Easter. But I did like the Reeses Peanut butter eggs and the malted milk eggs. Most of the rest of it just made me sick.

[debm55]

47. I always waited until the Monday after Easter, WalMart had them for 50 cents for a container of 6.

PS they are VERY good when placed in the freezer.
