Candy Galore!

When you ask people what holiday brings the biggest sugar rush most people’s mind goes straight to Halloween. The lesser thought about close runner-up has to be Easter. Instead of children going door to door asking for candy it’s hidden right there in their backyards! All they have to do is walk a few feet and scoop up their prizes.

They have bags worth of candy that they dump into cardboard boxes to be sorted and traded. See, just like Halloween. The purples, blacks, and greens are replaced with pastel and pretty yellows, blues, and pinks. Candies are pretty and bright. Why wouldn’t the kids eat all of these beautiful assortments? Chocolate bunnies with tied ears? Sure. Entire cardboard boxes with yellow chicks? Great! They might not get the quantity of candy they do on Halloween, but the quality is far superior. The candy is way bigger and quite honestly, way better.

I would take Easter candy over Halloween candy any day of the week. Those portions sizes are huge! Have you seen those mega sized gummy bears? Absolutely ridiculous. Here are some are of the most extreme Easter candies.

Robin eggs.

These can be super cute little eggs or they can be huge monsters! Kids often find them inside their easter eggs during the easter egg hunt. But usually they have at least one giant robin egg in their Easter basket.

Peeps.

Whether you like them or not, Peeps are the iconic Easter candy. So iconic that people started supersizing Peeps for entertainment. Seriously, go check out YouTube with the key words “giant peeps” and you will see loads of influencers making their own giant Peep. That is too much marshmallow for me personally. But I am sure it is just fine for a six year old on Easter Sunday.

Chocolate bunnies.

Here is the granddaddy of them all. Giant chocolate bunnies date back to 1952 when the candy industry was booming! Some companies really get you, though, because the chocolate candy is hollowed out. You got to go for the Dove brand to make sure you have solid chocolate without the entire bunny. It just is not worth it if it’s not solid chocolate. 

Here are just a few examples of how Easter candy is far better than Halloween candy. I would rather have giant versions of my favorite candy rather than bite sized versions. You can also find types of “Halloween candy” any time of the year, whereas Easter candy only comes around every once in a while. Enjoy it while it lasts.
