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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
