As everyone knows the favorite tradition of Easter is receiving Easter baskets filled with candy. You’d wake up in the morning to discover that the Easter bunny had come and dropped off the basket full of goodies for you! Before or after breakfast you started diving into the yummy treats, right? What we at For Rent want to know is what your favorite Easter treat is??

I took a quick poll at our office and found out the number 1 favorite Easter candy is Reese’s Eggs!! These yummy treats combine all the goodness of traditional peanut butter cups in an Easter egg shape! I love them! They are my weakness for sure!  The candies that followed, in order, were: Cadbury eggs, Whopper eggs, jelly beans and sweet tarts!  Surprisingly no mention of peeps! :-)  I know a good friend of mine loves Peeps, so I need to include those in this list as I’m sure many of our readers enjoy them as well!

So let us know….what’s your favorite Easter treat? The one you remember waking up to wanting to eat first? Or the one you see in the stores and can’t help but grab a bag of? We want to know!!

This is an old family recipe of mine. Hope you enjoy as much as I do!! J
