Simply Irresistible

This is a simple Happy Easter, He is Risen fill in the blank:

I just can’t say no to you, [insert favorite Easter candy here].

I will reveal my answer in the comments, and hope each of my fellow bloggers will do the same! And you, dear reader! What Easter candy do you find irresistible?

I just can’t say no to you, Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs. Get thee behind me (far, far behind)

 

Today it’s more like “get off my behind…” 

I’ve taken to making these myself this year, because then they are healthier, right?  RIGHT?

And I am totally trying chocolate covered espresso beans.

 

Reese’s peanut butter eggs!

 

Jellybeans! (Jelly Belly are the best). My willpower vanishes…

 

But if you’re going to overindulge, those don’t seem too bad, right? Not too high in fat or anything?

 

Cadbury cream eggs and black jellybeans

 

When I was little, Fanny Farmer chocolate bunnies.  Now, Krause’s chocolate bunnies (from Albany, NY) if I’m in town around Easter.  This year I’ve had to settle for Hershey chocolate kisses as we spent Easter with my husband’s side of the family.

 

I 3rd the Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs!!!

 

umm Robin’s Eggs

No Wait! those little cadbury candy coated chocolate eggs…that’s it!

NO WAIT: Reese’s Bunnies…yes, that is it…Reese always gets me

OR MAYBE…any thing with dark chocolate (Dove, M&M, Hershey…)

Yes, that is it…the one I can’t live without! I think….

 

With you on the Cadbury robin’s eggs, Carol.

And black jelly beans. Only kind I like: I’m the Jack Sprat of jelly beans.

 

We are totally on the same wave length Carol.
Mine went like this…
Robin eggs…no wait…
Cadbury mini eggs…no wait…
the big Cadbuy eggs…yah!...no wait…
frozen chocolate covered marshmallow bunnies….
Maybe I should just say anything chocolate….to be safe. =D
I’m glad I’m not the only one with such a weakness for Easter candy.

 

Funny!

 

Dark chocolate covered espresso beans. I told myself i was buying them for the sophisticated palate of my grown son. Yeah, right.
Highly addictive.

 

Brach’s Chicks and Rabbits. Love them! They are fruit flavored marshmallows pressed into chick and rabbit shapes. Yum.

 

I just can’t say no to you, Elmer’s original Heavenly Hash eggs:
http://elmerchocolate.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=117&Itemid=136

This is the first Easter I can remember with no Heavenly Hash eggs. :-(  LOL

 

Chocolate covered marshmallow eggs (had to eat those first so they didn’t get stale or squished)
Dove dark chocolate foil wrapped eggs
Hershey kisses
Whoppers Robin Eggs
I can leave jelly beans for last and I don’t like peeps at all.

 

YES!  Marshmallow eggs (Russell Stover) are a tradition imposed by me!  Robin eggs and Cadbury robin eggs…yum!

 

bite size snickers.

mmmmmmm

 

4th for Reese’s peanut butter eggs - the small ones, candy coated on the outside.  Easter Bunny didn’t leave me any on purpose, but I ate them all today on Easter Monday, and started in on my son’s basket (it’s not as bad as it sounds, he went back to college and left them on purpose - taking Luna bars that he also got in his “healthy” Easter basket).

 

PEEPS!!

 

I love Peeps but they don’t love me. Just found out I have a corn allergy. Peeps are made with corn syrup. I am mourning my inability to eat them this Easter.  But that means I can eat more chocolate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The “turtles” I made myself with dark chocolate, caramel, and pecans. Oh my.

 

Reeses eggs and lindt truffles.

 

It’s Reese’s Eggs for me too! How do they make them so tasty?

 

Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs hands down!  Every year I buy a 6 pack for both my husband and I and troll Walmart after Easter to find them for $1 and freeze them!

 

There is a local family run Chocolate store near us and I can’t resisit all of it.  The family still runs it out of their basement and are only open from November to May because the other months it gets too warm to make the chocolate in their basement!  People line up the basement stairs and out the door this time of year.

 

I love the little robin eggs but could not find them this year.
Then I started to look for something to replace them.  Certainly I love chocolate but all that I could find was milk chocolate.  So the whole candy scene was not as fulfilling for me this year.  The Easter scene was but not so the candy.

 

Good night Irene ..... just one??

Nope

Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs
Cadbury Cream Eggs

and my new favorite ......

SweetTart Jellybeans—oh my word! I went to the store and bought 3 bags yesterday, since they were half price! Yee hah!

 

Cadbury candy coated egss.  Oh My!!  Thank goodness I’ve almost finished the bag off ( I did give a couple to each child so that no one could say I ate the WHOLE bag)

 

Get thee behind me Snickers Eggs.  Oh how I love them.  But I did not indulge this year because I can’t have just one.  smile

 

Dark chocolate M&M’s….yum yum…

But I can’t figure out why the Easter bunny didn’t bring any candy made with a chocolate and coconut combination…(s)he must have been (s)hopping in Lent mode, forgetting (s)he might get some of the spoils.

 

Um.. I’m having a harder time getting out of the cappuccino fudge cheesecake (with chocolate covered espresso beans) than the candy… but I’m a Cadbury creme egg gal. Yes, I can only eat half of the ultra-sweet richness in one sitting, but what a glorious half it is!

 

Jellybeans jellybeans jellybeans! Can’t eat enough of them! I like the cheap ones the best.
