Along with Christmas and Valentine’s Day, Easter is another holiday that is associated with chocolate and other sweet treats. Classic Easter candy has long been a beloved tradition, bringing joy to this holiday celebration. From colorful chocolate eggs to fluffy marshmallow chicks, these treats hold a special place in the hearts of many.

 

 

 

 

 

The Timeless Appeal of Chocolate Eggs

 

 

 

 

Chocolate eggs are perhaps the most iconic of all classic Easter candies. They’re offered with a wide variety of fillings, and everybody probably has their favorite. For me, Easter wouldn’t be the same without Cadbury’s Creme Eggs. They’re filled with a yellow and white fondant that resembles the filling of real eggs. Cadbury also offers a variety that’s filled with caramel. The eggs are so popular that they also offer Screme Eggs around Halloween. These have a spooky green fondant filling.

 

 

 

 

There are also chocolate eggs that are based on candy bars, amongst which are Reese’s eggs with a peanut butter filling, as well as eggs with the fillings of Mars bars or Kit Kats. They also come in different types of chocolate ranging from milky white chocolate to rich dark chocolate. Whether filled with nougat, caramel, or nuts, chocolate eggs are a delightful indulgence for both children and adults alike.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marshmallow Bunnies and Chicks: A Fluffy Delight

 

 

 

Marshmallow peeps are another Easter favorite, and are normally shaped as bunnies or chicks. They have a unique soft, pillowy texture underneath their pastel sugar coating. Peeps add a festive touch to any Easter basket. Whether enjoyed on their own or atop a cupcake, marshmallow bunnies and chicks are sure to bring a smile to your face.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jelly Beans Bursting with Flavor

 

 

 

 

No discussion of classic Easter candy would be complete without mentioning jelly beans. These bite-sized treats come in a rainbow of colors. Jelly beans probably offer the widest variety of flavor choices of any Easter candy. You can pick the more classic flavors like lemon or cherry, or more exotic ones like bubble gum or buttered popcorn. There are even jelly beans with alcohol flavors like a margarita or a gin and tonic. With their bright colors and fun tastes, jelly beans are a popular choice for Easter.
