What is your favorite Easter candy and how did you resist?

It not so much the candy that's the draw for me- its the pretty pastel colors that they are packed in for the season.

Snickers & Reeses are always my favorites- no matter the season. I didn't try resisting- but will for the next 2 months.

I never liked jelly beans or cadbury creme eggs.

Hi peachpie

What is nice these days is all our favorite candy come in those mini sizes...

Cadbury mini-eggs are my crack. Luckily I have no reason to have them in the house, since my son is too little for candy. Instead, his Easter basket has bath toys, a new baseball cap, a tube of bubbles, and a tiny carton of goldfish crackers!

Hi Julie,

That is wonderful... If I had it to do over I hope I would do less candy and more fun things. Like sticker books and craft books. Good job Mom

Reeses Peanut Butter eggs. I don't care about the other shapes, or even the regular ones, but I love the eggs. Perfect chocolate to filling ratio.

I didn't resist. I grocery shop once a week and I get myself one. Once a week. I'm okay with that.

We are kindred spirits Gwen Once I get this regain off I too will indulge from time to time in my favorites. But for now, I am going to stick with those whittle deviled bunny eggs with olive eyes and carrot nose.

Yeah, I totally understand. I figure that one a week is okay and I know, from past experience, that if I were to skip them I'd just start obsessing, binge other stuff, and end up getting a Reese's egg anyway. Better for me to just get the damned egg once a week and skip the whole obsession/binge cycle.

Hands down as an teenager and adult it would be Cadbury Creme eggs. OMG drooling just thinking of them now...

As a little kid I could not wait to get my solid milk chocolate bunny. Eat the candy eyes first and then the ears!!! Once my Mom got us white chocolate solid bunnies, I thought it was amazing, I love white chocolate. There is not too many candies or chocolates I don't like... hence needing WLS.

How do I handle it now... I have to abstain. I have zero self control when it comes to sweets and by far Cadbury Creme eggs are ******ic for me so I just can't have them in the house or near me, I know my limits, my downfalls and what I can't say no to, Cadbury Creme eggs are that.

Cadbury's sales and profit margins have probably been dropping in the last 3 years since I had WLS because I would eat those for 3 meals a day, no joke, it was an addiction.

Fun Fact: I just googled when the creme egg came out... "filled eggs" were first manufactured by the Cadbury Brothers in 1923, the Creme Egg was introduced in 1963. It was initially sold as Fry's Creme Eggs, and they renamed it "Cadbury's Creme Eggs" in 1971.

Note packaging: US creme egg on the left, UK creme egg on the right (which is what we have in Canada)

I honestly tried to refrain from posting a photo. DD02 did it! My son would approve of the size
