   Peeps and York Peppermint Patties

   My favorites!

   The only Hershey Bunny I ever see is the solid one, the Speedy Bunny

   which, to me, always makes me think it would taste like Nestle Quik

   Breakfast was the usual, sugar free popsicles, then 2 hours of biking.  Easter is one of my 5 “Food Days” of the year when I eat what I want and how much I want for 24 hours!  I lost 75 pounds back in 2001 and this is the only way I keep my sanity the rest of the year.  A heaping collection of unwrapped Christmas, Halloween, last Easter and various other delights await my swooning contenance!  Your blog has inspired me to hit the stores this Easter candy season for new items to add to the collection! Viva la candy blogg!!

   Breakfast was a tasty dark chocolate marzipan egg (or three) from Aldi - their house brand Choceur (sp?).  Also got the Choceur bunny for my daughter (looks just like a Dove brand bunny) but haven’t tried it yet. The Aldi jelly belly knock offs were ok.  For the price Aldi candy is really good.  I really enjoy your site and appreciate all the great information…

   I had a 250g chocolate bunny and a large egg-shaped nostalgic tin full of chocolate eggs delivered from Switzerland’s Sprungli online shop.  I’ve been doing this for 4 years already.  I’ve loved Sprungli’s ever since I first visited the Zurich store many many years ago.  Now my nephews get to enjoy them as well (I organize the annual egg painting).

    I LOVE the close up of Hoppy peeking at me!  Cybele, I am a fan of both your writing and your photography! (and am truly in awe of your dedication to candy, and the fact that you found such a creative outlet for it!)  Happy (by this time, belated) Easter to you!  I’m off to go find some half-off candy!

    I don’t think 50% off candy is going to be available in my town - I had a candy crisis over the weekend (the candy I was sure I bought a month ago and stowed in the gift closet - not there! still not sure if I put it somewhere else or if I just didn’t buy any) and found almost nothing worth buying in the stores I checked. There were a lot of those bunny basket eggs at Target, but I knew better than to buy them!

    So I’m not the only one who divides the year into Candy Season and Non-Candy Season.  If this past year was any indication, we will probably start sweeing the Halloween stuff sometime around the last week of August.  The back-to-school rush should be over by then.

    There won’t be much 50% off Easter candy this year - actually there was NO candy at the supermarket yesterday.  Wegmans has been out of Just Born jelly beans for weeks and they were the only store that I found them in this year.  I shoud have stocked up, but I only bought one bag :(  I guess the stores didn’t want to have extra stock of candy that they couldn’t sell.

    And after typing that comment yesterday, a lightbulb lit up over my head and I thought of one more place that I didn’t look. I checked when I got home that evening and sure enough - the missing Easter candy!

    I thought I recognized that rabbit!! I picked one up on clearance for the annual Easter Shot Hunt (postponed until this last Sat.)

    I am happy to report that he made a fine centerpiece and was devoured within 4 hours.
