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

Black jelly beans are ANOTHER thing I ate to excess and could never eat again. My grandma always had a jar of black jelly beans and those jelly orange slices. I cleaned her out on more than one occasion until the thought made me sick. Why couldn't I ever eat enough pizza or cheesecake to never make them appealing again??

It's a shorter list to say what WEREN'T favorites.

Nothing with nuts and/or coconut. Pretty much everything else was fair game.

My MOST favorite of ALL TIME: Mini Twix. Sigh. I follow a blogger who has a low carb version of Twix. I haven't tried to make them because I'd DECIMATE them. ( she's also got LCSF Girl Scout Cookies. The woman is an evil genius-I swear. )

II know I can't eat candy because the sugar killlllls me, so...there's that: not even Mini Twix are worth dumping.

I woke up in between a memory and a dream...

what do you use to make the beek? I assume that the eyes are olives.

Carrot is used by some, I think I have seen some use a pimento if not too bright red, but more orangey.

Cadbury orange creme eggs.

Thank goodness they don't make them anymore, and none of the potential competitors come close. :D

I don't know about the "regular" flavored eggs, I never cared for them. There used to be an orange flavored egg at Easter, and it had orange creme with an orange-flavored syrup in the middle. They were YUMMMMMY. My favorite EVER. I would buy a dozen (or two) every Easter, and they never lasted more than a day or two. And I'd always buy up whatever was left at Walgreen's on clearance after Easter.

They quit making that flavor several years ago. I searched and searched for a way to buy them online, and tried out several other orange creme truffle candies, and nothing comes close. Which is probably best for my waistline. :D
