Cadbury Carmel Eggs.

Kinder Eggs with the toys inside. They are banned in the U.S. though but another company has a similar product called Choco Treasure that can be purchased in the U.S.

Ah, how could I be dumb enough to forget... the Cadbury Cream Eggs are really the only exception to my previous "I dont really care for Easter Candy" response.
Those were only in the 2nd post of this thread!
Your picture showed as a Red X for me. (about 1/3 of the pics linked on TB dont show due to my company's internet settings.
So that would be a no vote on Peeps then.
In Chuck Palahniuk's book "Damned" they mention that Hell is littered with all the unwanted types of candies, like popcorn balls and black licorice. I dont recall if Peeps were mentioned specifically, but I imagine they'd be amongst such candies of Hell.
Peeps are nasty. Give me some Robin Eggs or a high quality chocolate rabbit . Those solid Cadberry mini eggs are good too.
NOT this.
I would love to personally thank the mad scientist that came up with these. I love them in all their unnatural goodness!
Cadbury's Creme Eggs are pretty damned awesome.
A good quality chocolate easter egg (like Thorntons or Lindt).

Amazing stuff.
Not cheap - not for the kiddies - it's too good for them...

I don't like candy at all. No sweet tooth here, but I do have one or two that hurt when I drink oversweetened tea. 
My "candy" is canned smoked oysters and saltines - for all occasions and holidays. Canned octopus in garlic sauce ain't bad either.
Happy thread everyone.

"Mommy what's this in my easter basket?" "Oh Billy you are such a lucky boy. That's a can of octopus in garlic sauce. The easter bunny must really love you."
No contest, for me, it's those chocolate covered marshmallow eggs that come in the Styrofoam egg containers.
Mmmmmmmmmmmm

I know. Festive, right?
I read somewhere that escargots and/or oysters are traditional Christmas fare in France.
OK, for those who are all about the Cadbury Eggs, which do you prefer... clean wrapper or sticky wrapper?
For some reason i almost always get one with a wrapper that takes about 15 minutes to get all the foil off.
Not enough testing has been done to determine if clean vs sticky wrapper changes the flavor.
