(photo courtesy of DCist.com/Stacey Viera)I'm a Christian, so the best thing about Easter is the real purpose of the day, the celebration of Christ's Resurrection.
But the second best thing about Easter is Easter Candy. For other holidays that involve candy (like Valentine's Day and Halloween), companies simply make smaller versions of the their everyday favorites. With the exception of candy corn, you can basically buy holiday candy 365 days a year.
But not Easter candy. Easter candy is only available in the 4 weeks leading up to Easter. Then it's gone for another 48 weeks.
Peeps.
Jelly Beans.
Cadbury Cream Eggs.
Cadbury Cream Eggs are the best candy on the planet. An egg like a truffle, only with a sugary filling that sort of looks like yolk. The chocolate is rich without being too much for your palate. Cadbury Cream Eggs make all other holiday candy worthless. Think candy canes compare? No way.
For some reason this year there was a shortage of cream eggs. I could only find them in a few stores. It was heartbreaking. But the Easter Bunny left me 2 in my basket. Thanks East' Bunny!
Cadbury cream eggs are available year round in other countries! Sad for us.
