Classic Fun and Unique Easter Candy Favorites

Lucky for all of us, some Easter candies never go out of style, but they aren’t always available year-round. That’s why you’ve gotta grab these classic treats when they’re available because they are always a hit:

Chocolate Bunnies & Eggs

Would it even be Easter without a chocolate bunny? It’s totally personal sugar preference and whether you go for a solid milk chocolate rabbit or a hollow one, but regardless, it’s a total must-have. And, of course, another staple is most definitely the chocolate eggs. Are you a mini or full-size chocolate egg lover? Either way, these are perfect for baskets and for the egg hunt.

Jelly Beans & Fruity Treats

Just throwing it out there, I’m OBSESSED with Jelly beans. I mean they are an Easter staple after all, but the funny thing is I never eat them aside from around Easter… why I’m not sure, but brands like Starburst are my absolute favorite. If you’re not in love with jelly beans like I am, gummies, marshmallow candies, and lollipops are also a great add for variety and to get fun colors into your basket.

Crunchy & Chewy Delights

I rarely reach for a whopper when I’m choosing candy, but there is something about the Robin Eggs Whoppers that make me smile. I find the textures keep every bite super exciting. These are most definitely always a hit.

Candy-Filled Eggs

If you’re looking to switch things up, don’t sleep on the little candy-filled eggs. They are a great way to add an extra surprise to your basket. Brands like Mars and Wonka offer pre-filled eggs with chocolates and fruity candies inside which makes adding these to the mix super easy. We love the Wonka’s Golden Egg Hunt Pack because they hide a golden egg filled with a special treat in with the rest… so fun!

Cotton Candy & Marshmallow Treats

If you’re looking for something even more surprising, there are tons of Easter-themed items like the hilarious Bag of Bunny Farts cotton candy. Our little boys definitely love this one.
