10 Classic Easter Candies Ranked

Easter weekend brings colorful eggs, too many large fuzzy bunny suits, and some of the best (and worst) candy you'll eat all year. Here is a list of 10 classic Easter candies I can count on finding every year in my Easter basket, ranked worst to best.

10. Whopper's Robin Eggs

This is only last on the list because I don't really like Whoppers all that much when they're normal shaped and brown. Make them oval and throw some color on them, and you're almost guaranteed to accidentally grab this nasty malt ball instead of a Reese's egg.

9. Cadbury Creme Egg

They're alright if you're looking to eat your entire sugar intake in about two bites, but they are entirely too sweet for me. The flavors are always hard to predict, you never know what flavor they are. I guess it doesn't really matter though, because they all taste like pure sugar to me.

8. Giant Bunny

This guy is a classic; he probably ends up in every Easter basket across the country. No matter what bunny shape he takes, whether he's solid or hollow, you can never go wrong with a chocolate bunny. He only ended up this far down on the list because you can't really eat one all in one sitting (well, you probably could... but you shouldn't), and he's kinda plain.

7. Jelly Beans

Another Easter classic! Jelly beans are great, and even though you sometimes don't know the flavor, they're generally all pretty good (unless you get the Beanboozled kind). However, mine always end up sinking through the Easter grass to the bottom of the basket and I can't find them half the time.

6. Peeps


I know a lot of people who absolutely love Peeps, and I feel like they're just such a classic Easter candy that they had to end up on the list. The marshmallowey-goodness with colored sugar packed on the top is a heart attack waiting to happen, but at Easter, it's worth it. I really only eat these at Easter, so they rank a little higher up on the list.

5. Easter M&M's

M&M's are basically a classic candy for every holiday, and the Easter ones are just as great. Whether they're regular, peanut, or peanut butter, M&M's are always an easy snacking candy. Also I really like the color scheme of the Easter ones, and the peanut butter eggs are AMAZING.

4. Lindt Chocolate Carrots

Lindt Chocolate is possibly one of the best out there, and the fact that it's shaped like a little carrot? Adorable! It even comes with a useful handle. It's the perfect amount of chocolate for a little treat.

3. Reester Bunny


Alright, now we're getting to the good stuff. I absolutely love Reese's so there's no doubt that the Reester Bunny makes the top three of my list. The peanut-buttery-chocolatey goodness of a Reese's wrapped up in an Easter wrapper and shaped like a bunny, how cute is that?

2. Dove Chocolate Eggs

Dove chocolate is probably one of the best chocolates for a good price, and definitely my favorite chocolate item in my Easter basket. They are nice for a little pop of chocolate, but not too big to eat a couple in one sitting. Dove chocolates are always smooth and flavorful, and complete my Easter basket.

1. Crybaby Eggs

THESE ARE SO GOOD and if you haven't tried them, you need to. I discovered these a few years ago by complete chance, and my Easter basket has never been the same. If you like sour things, these are amazing. I know I complained about Cadbury eggs being filled with pure sugar and these are literally pure sugar inside, BUT IT'S WORTH IT I SWEAR. They're gum filled with sour crystals, and they are absolutely my favorite Easter candy.

So, will some of these classics end up in YOUR Easter basket this year? Make sure you try some of the ones you've never had before, along with enjoying the classics. But above all, have a Happy Easter!

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

Daily Fun Lists

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
