Alright everyone (well, the non paleo, non SCD, non diet watchers)- so it's that time of year again. Last night I locked my self in the bedroom to fill the eggs- for every egg, I stuffed like 3 pieces of candy into my mouth as well! So what's your fave Easter treat? I cannot resist Robins Eggs, the little malted milk, candy coated, pastel treats! And I discovered Reeses Pieces eggs a couple years back, those are running a close second to the Robins Eggs. Do tell, what do you guys love?

My guilty pleasure was always Peeps. Pure sugar interlaced with chemicals, but sooo good. I used to put some in the pantry for four or five months, because I absolutely love them stale. Since I'm now diabetic after long Entocort therapy, I haven't had a Peep for five years.

Now my favorite Easter treat is hard-boiled eggs. :)

how about deviled eggs? My god, I could eat about 6 of those in no time.

I've eaten a hot cross bun everyday this week...mmm

and last night I baked chocolate brownies with Cadburys Cream Eggs in. AWESOME. unfortunately so sticky i couldnt get them into neat squares to bring to work, so will have to eat them all by myself. shame! Then I got to work to be given an easter egg with two more cream eggs in.

So next weeks topic, dieting tips hahahahaha. but i've been good, not eaten any of the chocolate yet.

Happy easter guys.

I love Cadbury Cream Eggs, the Reeses Eggs or pretty much anything chocolate. I've been getting them, as a treat, whenever I am in the pharmacist to refill one of my medications (I just cannot help myself I have no willpower). My wife calls me a chocolate-wh0re lol.

i always loved those marshmallow eggs or bunnies with a thin layer of chocolate coating. besides that, i've never been a big peeps or jelly beans fan. and i can't eat eggs, but dying eggs is still fun. i like writing obscenities on them and then seeing who gets the egg that says "plumber's crack" or "boob."

Love Reese eggs.

I'm traveling tomorrow to Ohio and can't wait to hit the Malley's Chocolate store there. Their chocolate is sooooo good.

Well at least I"m not the only one who likes Peeps! I like to keep the package open in the fridge, so the Peeps get a little hard and crunchy. Yum....I have a package in there right now.

I also love Cadbury cream eggs, that has been my favorite since I was a little kid.

I can never remember what they are called. They are the milk chocolate eggs in the blue bag (how's that for a description). I think Cadbury makes them. They are SO good. Target had them out super early this year. So I ate way too many :)

I just finished boiling our eggs to dye tomorrow :)

If there was one food on this planet that I would suspect would be the cause of UC it would be PEEPS!  rolleyes

And the best part about peeps is peep-jousting! All you need it two peeps, two toothpicks, and a microwave. Each peep gets a toothpick through it, place them both in the microwave, set it to 30 seconds, and watch the joust unfold!

Naughty UCers, seduced by Easter candy! I got so many cavities from the sweet stuff as a schoolkid, that I no longer crave it. (Dentist=big bucks!) Our teachers would give out Peeps right before holiday break ... My absolute fave, though, is dark chocolate-- as in dark chocolate-coated egg with mocha or hazelnut ganache filling: solid enough to slice. Happy holiday weekend, you all! / Old Hat (32 yrs with left-sided UC; presently in remission taking brandname Colazal)

I like plain old solid chocolate: bunnies, eggs, whatever. They go on crazy sale right after Easter at Superstore. I make a point of going the following week to stock up. I put them in my "secret stash" so I can indulge now and then until they are finally gone. It's better than the post-Halloween sales because you can only find those mini-chocolate bars after Halloween which yes, I will eat, but give me plain old solid chocolate any day.

I could of sworn this post read "Easter Candy" earlier...

Eva, did you change it?

I'm known for having about 10 lbs of solid chocolate bunnies tucked away at this time of year.... BEST time of year for Cheap Yummy Chocolate!

think I've already polished off about 4 since they hit the stores... I don't even keep count anymore! lol

I am never a huge fan of holiday candy. I am more of a dark chocolate truffle eater. I could definitely eat some deviled eggs, especially if my grandma made them. :)

Nah, I just spazzed on typing the heading! Must've been the residual suagr buzz.... so I finished filling the kids eggs last night, & have the leftover candy stashed away for moi. I like those sold Cadbury eggs too, the crunchy coated ones? Not a huge Peep fan... I try to stay away from the post Easter sales, cause I have zero control with candy. I'm better off with it far, far away! Although I do grab up the Reeses eggs, the flat ones in the yellow packages- stash a bunch on the freezer. They are way better than Reeses cups, because there's more pnut butter... yum...!!!!!
