Easter is just around the corner and we are betting that you still might have a few things to do… like fill the kids Easter baskets! If this is true, don’t deprive them of the best Easter candies ever made! We’ve compiled a list of the all-time favorite and most recognizable Easter basket candies.

Peeps

Peeps is up first. Now WHO in their right mind could debate this one with us? These brightly colored chicks and bunnies with an ooey-gooey marshmallow taste have been filling joyous kids Easter baskets for over sixty years. Check out Peeps new flavors, and even their newly introduced Peeps for dogs! Yes, there are people that actually make their dog an Easter basket too :)

Russell Stover Coconut Nests

Although they are not the most appealing to the eye, consumers prove that they taste better than they look. Shredded coconut is covered in milk chocolate or butter bon. Colorful jelly bean centers resemble eggs and we’re pretty sure the Easter bunny himself put these candies together.

Nestle’s Golden Eggs

Perfect for an Easter egg hunt, these mini chocolate-covered covered eggs are even more popular now that they have the Willy Wonka version on the shelves. Remember when Veruca Salt wanted her geese to lay gold eggs?

Reese’s Eggs

Does anyone else count down for the day that Reese’s peanut butter eggs hit the shelves? These are a great option for Easter baskets, and if you’re smart, you know that they go on sale right after Easter, so you can stock up for the rest of spring!

Lindt Chocolate Carrots

Lindt’s chocolate carrots are a combination of chocolate and hazelnut. They taste great, maybe even great enough to leave out for the Easter bunny!

Cadbury Creme Eggs

Bite into a thick chocolate outside, just to get to the creamy white and yellow fondant center. Hungry yet? Cadbury claims to do Easter candy better than any other, do you agree with them?
