Cook n Craft Academy: FAVORITE EASTER CANDY.......

We took an informal poll from students who stopped by COOK N CRAFT ACADEMY...and asked them to rate their favorite Easter Candy.....here are the results...

#10 BLACK JELLY BEANS!

Slide 2 of 21: Easter is the exact opposite of a somber holiday, so why would you choose to eat such an unhappy candy? In fact, even considering these licorice morsels candy is being a little generous with the term.

Are you a fan? I usually pick out the licorice tasting jelly beans.....but I know people who actually LOVE them. My dad is a big fan of these. They actually sell all black jelly bean bags too!

#9 BUNNY CORN!

Slide 5 of 21: One of the autumn’s most divisive foods likes to reappear in the spring. Yes, candy corn is known as “bunny corn” for Easter. Don’t let the swap from orange and yellow to pink and purple fool you; this is the same sticky, sweet, corn syrup-loaded confection you buy for Halloween. Candy corn — or whatever you call it — is bad in the fall, and it’s bad in the spring.

Candy corn — or whatever you call it — is bad in the fall, and it’s bad in the spring.

I didn't even realize there was such a thing until being told about them. I prefer the orange and yellow at Halloween time...but these certainly very cool looking...I wonder...do they taste like the candy corn you buy at Halloween????

#8 EASTER M&M'S

Slide 8 of 21: M&M’s are one of America’s favorite candies, and for a good reason. They’re simple, perfectly sweet and an easy thing to eat either just a few of or a whole bag of. As an Easter candy, though, they’re nothing special. While we love a different color of M&M, beyond pretty shades of blue, purple, yellow, pink and light green, these candies aren’t anything you can’t get literally any other time of year.

Doesn't matter what color they are...they all taste the same to me...and they're delicious

#7 Cadbury Cream Eggs

Slide 11 of 21: We don’t hate Easter candy, we swear! But the Cadbury Crème Egg, which features a sticky fondant filling that is white and yellow inside of a chocolate shell, is a little too much. While it’s a beloved confection both in America and especially abroad, it is sickeningly sweet. Try that filling on its own. You’ll be visiting the dentist sooner than you can say “cavity”!

I have to admit I am a little shocked that these eggs aren't higher on the list...I was thinking they would have made #2 or #3....surprised me alot. But they sure are delicious....they remind me of the joke....I am on a diet and have to eat more protein...so I added these to my diet....ha ha.

#6 BUTTERFINGER EGGS

Slide 13 of 21: A lot of favorite candies come in egg shapes during the Easter season, and some turn out better than others. The Butterfinger Egg, traditionally, has been a massive success thanks to its crispy, peanut-flavored inside. Is it messy? Yes. But it’s satisfying. It’s yet to be seen how the new Butterfinger formula will translate to eggs, and despite a mixed review, we’re hopeful it maintains its status.

I have to admit when I was younger butterfinger bars were my absolute favorite candy...but I kind of prefer a bar vs. tiny eggs of crunch....but they're still good!

#5 SWEET TARTS CHICKS DUCKS AND BUNNIES

Slide 19 of 21: The best thing about Easter is eating regular candy in adorable, seasonal shapes. And SweeTarts Chicks, Ducks & Bunnies epitomizes this. These are basically just regular ol’ SweeTarts in festive baby animal shapes. The shapes are, once again, so very cute, but they also add in tiny nooks and crannies that give extra texture to this already beloved tart hard candy.

sorry this one is not on my list...not really a fan but I will say they look very cute.

#4 PEEPS

Slide 17 of 21: Peeps are far and away the sweetest Easter candy around, and not just because they’re sugary marshmallows covered in even more sugar. Just look at those faces! Though Peeps are now available basically year-round in the form of hearts, pumpkins and gingerbread men, the chicks and bunnies are true classics of the Easter season and so frickin’ adorable. When you start making plushes and other merch out of your candy, it’s clear you have a total winner on your hands. And if you didn’t know you could buy non-marshmallow Peeps, there are probably a lot of things you didn’t know about Peeps.

I love peeps...and especially the crazy flavors they have like maple syrup and watermelon and cotten candy, and sour cherry and I could go on and on. We love roasting them like marshmallows. My kids sometimes like to put them in a microwave to see how big they get...but I don't like the mess.

#3 JELLY BEANS

Slide 3 of 21: Jelly beans and Easter go together like peanut butter and jelly. But have you ever stopped to think if jelly beans are actually any good? We’re not talking about Jelly Belly or other brands of beans (more on those later). We’re talking about that classic mixture or black, white, red, yellow, orange, green and purple beans with vaguely fruity flavors that are at once so familiar and so foreign. The texture of these beans is oddly grainy on the inside and instantly stale on the outside. Respect your Easter basket enough to skip this treat.

this is actually my number 1. I love jellybeans...and I love the spice ones especially! Pinks are my favorite!

#2 CHOCOLATE BUNNIES

Slide 6 of 21: Wait, chocolate bunnies are bad? Yes. They are. Think of the hollow chocolate bunnies you pick up at the drug store or Walmart or wherever it is you shop. They cost $1.99 and they taste like they cost even less than that. You don’t even have to eat the ears off of a cheap, hollow chocolate bunny to know the taste and texture: sugary, chalky, waxy, crumbly and nasty.

Chocolate bunnies are delicious especially when it's real chocolate! Yum Yum and even more Yum

#1 REESES' PEANUT BUTTER EGGS!

Slide 21 of 21: No matter its shape, a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup is a top-tier candy. And while we firmly believe that nothing beats the OG Reese’s, the Reese’s Egg is a very, very close second. It’s such a close second that it beats every other Easter candy on the market. The thin shell of sweet milk chocolate encases just loads of that scrumptious Reese’s peanut butter that every chocolate fan knows and loves. A Reese’s Egg goes perfectly with a glass of milk, and is the one thing you’d be happiest to find on your creative Easter egg hunt.
