Easter traditions are many. From the bunny hopping down the trail to a lavish brunch, people are drawn to the familiar every year. With the turmoil in the egg industry, the traditional dyed eggs and other recipes are less prominent on the table. Luckily, some favorite candy brands have a plethora of chocolate eggs that make this holiday even sweeter.
Chocolate bunnies, jellybeans and even Peeps are Easter candy staples. Still, those offerings can be a little polarizing. From curious jellybean flavors to how to eat those chocolate bunnies, the conversation can be more taxing than sweet.
Luckily, chocolate eggs are an Easter treat that everyone can appreciate. Many of the popular candy brands have egg-shaped offerings for the holiday.
Reese’s Eggs are probably the most well-known eggs for the holiday. Whether people stocked up months before or are running to the store now for another bag, these chocolate and peanut butter treats are always a favorite.
Another classic is the Cadbury Egg. While all the animals are excited to put on those bunny ears, this chocolate egg might have the most connection to a real egg. Cracking open that creamy, gooey center always brings smiles.
A new entry to the Easter conversation this year was Snickers Eggs. While the candy brand hatched a huge moment last month, people are hungry for more. This new option might be the new must have candy in the basket.
Lindt Lindor has a few chocolate truffle eggs, in addition to its iconic Gold Bunnies. This version is for the more sophisticated taste.
The size of a medium real egg, the delicate chocolate shell with its perfect snap breaks to reveal a luscious center. Available both in a classic version and other varieties, these Lindt Lindor Truffle Eggs are a wonderful addition to a basket, tablescape or just highlighted in a bowl.
Additionally, the truffle eggs can be transformed into other treats. Since no one wants Easter candy on the table come Mother’s Day, the eggs can be used as the center of a chocolate lava cake. It will keep the center creamy, chocolatey, and perfectly delicious.
Or, the truffle can flavor a coffee or hot chocolate. Simply allow the truffle to slowly melt into the hot liquid for an indulgent sip.
Another elevated option would be the classic Russell Stover eggs. These eggs come in a variety of fillings. From crème centers to caramel, there is something for everyone.
For the younger crowd, Kinder Joy is always a perfect treat. The candy with the toy inside is always a good choice for Easter and beyond.
The Kinder Joy is a great idea for a special item on the kids table. Not only does it offer a little extra sweetness to the meal, but it gives the kids the opportunity to keep busy. The little toy keeps hands occupied during the long meal.
This Easter season, eggs can be on the table, in the basket, and everywhere else. Chocolate eggs are the sweet choice.
