Easter Candy is Evil

[Prudence]

I love the new orange cream eggs! Please feel free to send your unwanted ones to me.

Totally forgot about Robin's Eggs - I love those.

I went to Target to buy some stuff for my office and came back with the following for myself:

1 container of the mini-cream eggs. I think I like the big ones better.
2 small bags of mini-eggs
2 marshmellow eggs

I left the area before it could get out of control. I need to buy the russel stover creme filled eggs (raspberry and strawberry). What are these orange creme eggs you speak of?

Used to love peeps, now not so much

Et tu, Snow?

These are my downfall. I don't even really like candy, but Robin's Eggs are so completely addictive. One year I bought a huge bag from Costco, and I ate the whole thing. (Not at one sitting, though- took a good week or so).

Peeps: Gross to eat but have redeeming misuse features.
Cadbury Eggs: Loved them as a kid and had one three years ago; candidate for most vile thing ever in my mouth.
Jelly Beans: Gross in all forms and flavors (texture thing)
Robin's Eggs: Yum
Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs: Certainly acceptable but the chocolate to "peanut butter" ratio is off from the more ideal regular cups.

I agree with Alex on the Reeces eggs - too much peanut butter, not enough chocolate.

I see a large portion of us like the chocolate covered malted milk. YUM.

I cannot stand any Cadbury egg that is not caramel, and even then - I generally abstain. There's something about getting to the inside that has made me spit it up since I was a lil' kid. I do like Peeps, but also don't really eat them.

In fact, I'm not really a candy person outside of the occasional piece of chocolate. And Robin Eggs. I could eat a basket full of those, get sick, and still probably like them. I know I've eaten a carton before over the course of 2-3 days.

My favorites too! Yum!

For many years, I would get a craving for a Cadbury Cream Egg, eat one, almost puke, wait 11 1/2 months, and then get a craving for one all over again. It's as if the concept of what I imagine they must taste like overrides the actual memory of the disgustingly sweet slime that I abhor. A couple of days ago, while picking up some club soda at Safeway, I almost picked one up...

I think I'll wait for the solid milk chocolate bunny.

Like the regular Cadbury creme eggs, but with a slight orange flavor. I'm addicted!
