The Best Easter Candy of All Time

If you have kids of a certain age, or a sugar addiction, you’re probably going out on a candy run or two this weekend. Although the best day to go is Monday AFTER Easter when it’s all 50% off.

There’s a ranking online of the best Easter candy of all time, and thousands of people weighed in.  Here are the Top 10:

1.  Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs

2.  Cadbury Mini Eggs

3.  Chocolate Lindt Gold Bunny

4.  Easter Pastel M&Ms

5.  Cadbury Crème Egg

6.  Cadbury Caramel Egg

7.  Hershey’s Solid Milk Chocolate Eggs

8.  Whoppers Robin Eggs

9.  Jelly Bellys . . . (“Regular” jelly beans are 15th.)

10.  Hershey’s Easter Solid Milk Chocolate Bunny

Overall, 24 Easter candies were ranked, and coming in dead last is:  BUNNY CORN, which isn’t surprising.  If you’re unfamiliar, that’s the Easter version of Halloween candy corn. For me it’s the Cadbury mini eggs. I can eat an entire bag of those at a time. Close second are the Cadbury caramel eggs.

(You can find the complete ranking, here.)

Speaking of Easter candy, Instacart has a map of the top-selling Easter candies across the country, and in most of America, Reese’s Eggs or Cups are #1. I’m not surprised, have you had them?!?! Drool.
