Easter

Easter chocolate bunnies made from solid milk and dark chocolate.

This Easter don't mess around with the candy nobody wants (or no bunny wants) get the best. It's a sacred day, so make sure the Easter Bunny brings only the best. We have the Top 3 Best Easter Candy of All Time.

We were having a discussion on the show this past Good Friday about at what age should the Easter bunny stop coming to the house. The consensus was, as long as you want him to. We heard from listeners that said their children in their 30's were still getting Easter baskets and there was no end in sight. Some folks still have the bunny make basket deliveries to the kids that are away for school and some still make sure he goes to their house even if they've moved out of the house and married with their own kids.

To be names as one of the best Easter Candy of all time means a lot. Think about how many candies have come and gone over the years. Some are still around and stand the test of time, others just fade away into our childhood memory banks. Other candy may be good, but are not considered to be Easter candies for whatever reason. Most likely to be considered for the High Holy Day a candy must evoke thoughts of the Bunny and everything that goes with that.

Usually we are talking about chocolate bunnies or some type of egg or jelly bean. Let's just say, a 3 Musketeers bar doesn't exactly feel like an Easter candy.
