Walked into the neighborhood uber-pharmacy this week and I already saw the Easter candies displayed. Of course I don’t celebrate the Big E. I do Passover (the one where you have to eat crackers instead of bread for a week). Though that doesn’t mean I can’t partake in the sugar sweet sins of Eastery goodness. I’m over 18 so I can buy whatever I want in any store. OR I can just wait ‘til my officemates bring in leftovers on Monday. Anyhow here’s what Easter candy I’ve seen so far … and 10 days later you'll witness the resurrection of my big belly.
I told my kids we could do Easter this year (in addition to Passover). I had to convince my youngest that eating a chocolate bunny did not mean believing in Jesus.
ReplyDeleteStill trying to figure out how the two go together.
jesus had all his peeps at the last supper.

Kage- your peeps comment is hilarious!
Passover has always been my favorite holiday... who wants to find the afikommen? I DO, I DO!!! I never found that fucker. It always had to be pointed out to me.
ReplyDeleteThe only way we *celebrate* Easter is getting together with family for the kids to find eggs. Other than that, it's just another over-commercialized holiday.
ReplyDeleteMan all these look so delicious except the peeps. Whenever I see peeps it reminds me of Francis from Malcolm in the Middle eating 100 of these.
ReplyDeleteYesss I love easter, I always go buy truckloads of chocolate the day after when everything is on crazy sales :D
ReplyDeleteI already bought some chocolate the other day. The reeses cups are the shit.
ReplyDeleteThese candies should be available year round!!! Then we wouldn't gorge ourselves on them at Easter.....see?! I have the solution to obesity in America!
ReplyDeleteI have a violent nature towards peeps. I don't like the taste but I do enjoy lighting them on fire or melting them in the microwave.
ReplyDeleteBruce has already consumed 8 packs of marshmallow peeps and I've bought 2 single Reese's PB Eggs for me. I don't celebrate it anymore since my baby is 30 this year and he's in CT and mad at me anyway. I try to send my granddaughters something but this year the Easter Bunny is broke. Everything is so commercialized isn't it?
ReplyDeleteChocolate coated Matzo is the only way to go!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the belly part!
ReplyDeleteCreme eggs are awesome! I want one now! :D
ReplyDeleteTennebrae Services on Good Friday and Easter Services on Sunday morning.
ReplyDeleteholy sweet mother of baby jesus its that pagan rabbit
ReplyDeleteyummy
ReplyDeletei would love to have some reeses right now
ReplyDeletenever heard of this candy but i bet it's worth trying! :D thanks!
ReplyDeleteLike most Christian celebrations, Easter began as a pagan holiday. Peeps look so cute and cuddley, but I hate the taste! Have a wonderful Passover. God bless.
ReplyDeleteFavorites; brachs malted milk ball. (Yeah, I said balls.) And Dove truffle eggs. Too good. And now,.....I am hungry for some.
ReplyDeleteThey put all that stuff out before Valentine's Day was even over I swear someday someone is going to have a Holiday Store where there is an aisle devoted to every holiday so you can get your candy (or related merchandise) fix year round.
ReplyDeletei like Google Easter eggs.
ReplyDeleteReese's Eggs are the bomb dot com!
ReplyDeleteall Hail Zombie jesus
ReplyDeleteafter seeing all that sugar, I think I may have overdosed for a just a few seconds.....
ReplyDeletemy favorite, jelly beans and the creme eggs. Have you ever seen the movie Chocolate? I love the scene after the "church service" on Easter, when they celebrate Pagan style. One of my favorite movies.
I can think of no better way to celebrate the day, than biting the head of of a chocolate bunny...
ReplyDeleteOh hells ya, time for me to put on some weight. Those caramel cadbury eggs are divine!
