After every holiday, there's a delightful challenge of having more candy than we can eat. But fear not, for candy is a treasure that can never go to waste, and we have the perfect solution for all your extra candy. Easter candies, rich chocolate, and fluffy marshmallows are perfect for adding a twist to other sweets. Putting them in cookies is the perfect solution to reinvent your sweets, make them even more delicious, and ensure they do not go to waste. I started with two bags of sugar cookie mix to create the perfect cookies. I made the dough, chopped...
Brach's Candy has been part of our Easter offerings since we opened our doors in 1927.
We were the first - yes, the FIRST - to offer their wholesale candy, and over the years, we have seen too many of their classic candies come and go. Gone are the days of the beloved Marshmallow Hunt Egg and White Fiesta Malt Eggs!
The good news is that we still offer their Jelly Beans, Pastel Fiesta Malt Gggs, and other fun stuff, too!
Easter is all about bunnies, baskets, and, you guessed it, EGGS. One of the staple parts of Easter celebrations is egg hunts, and the best hunts are always with eggs filled with the best candies. Only some Easter candies fit within the plastic Easter eggs. So, to help you find the perfect candies for Easter eggs, we have created a guide with our favorite spring candies. Our first category of Easter candies for Easter eggs is Eggs within an Egg. Nothing is more fun than opening a plastic Easter egg only to find more sweet eggs inside! These candies are...

Marshmallow Peeps come in two flavors - Rainbow and Mike & Ike Flavored 5 Reasons Why Peeps Pops are Just Better Although we love all marshmallow peeps, Peeps Pops are the superior candy choice for your Easter baskets this spring for many reasons, but if you don't believe us, here are five reasons! 1. YOU GET MORE THAN ONE COLOR PEEP. When you get only one colored Peep, it can get a little old while enjoying them. Even though all Peeps taste the same unless specially flavored, that doesn't change the fact that Peeps are always better in various colors. ...
It would be hard to imagine Easter without Jelly Beans....but it is possible! Each candy has a time in the year when it's "in season," almost like fruit. Instead of growing conditions, we have taste bud conditions. While every candy can be eaten in any season and still be delicious, there are certain times of the year when the candy tastes even better. For example, it might feel odd to eat a candy cane in the summer unless you are celebrating Christmas in July, and while eating jelly beans in any other season than spring wouldn't feel wrong, it just...
Some people say that holiday candy is the best candy, I would have to agree. Holiday candy tastes extra sweet, especially when it comes from the inside of a plastic egg or the contents of your easter baskets. However, something about holiday cheer adds to its delicious taste and makes it unique. I'm sure that it's already on your calendars, but the next candy-centric holiday is Easter! Easter for me has been filled with eggs, no, not the eggs that you hard boil or scramble. Instead, I'm talking about the superior version of eggs, CANDY EGGS! Just like regular eggs,...

It may not be laid by a mythical Golden Goose, but Brach’s Marshmallow Easter Hunt Eggs are pretty much the proverbial “golden egg” when it comes to Easter candy even if they only come in soft pastel shades. They are also among the hardest to find. So, why are these eggs so special? Brach's Marshmallow Hunt Eggs have longer been a must in any well stocked basket. For over 50 years, our wholesale division has been selling these colorful oversized sugar laden eggs, and they have changed little over the years. The size has gotten smaller – name us a...
“A day without laughter, is a day wasted.” -- Charlie Chaplin Don’t touch that dial, errr . . . I mean that remote. “It’s time for the Family Feud. Oh wait a minute, I mean the Candy Feud! Today we are going to have some fun with an old favorite game show that was first hosted by Richard Dawson back in 1976 and since 2010 is hosted by Steve Harvey. Ready people? OK, here we go! What’s the top answer to this question: Finish this phrase ________ basket. Bread basket? Waste basket? Laundry basket? Picnic basket? And the number one...
“Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love, the things you are, the things you never want to lose.” ~From the television show The Wonder Years With a Peep Peep here, and a Peep Peep there, here a Peep, there a Peep, everywhere a Peep Peep! Easter baskets loaded with all kinds of goodies. Jelly beans, chocolate bunnies and lambs and of course yellow Peeps peeking out of the plastic green and pink straw that lined my brother’s and my Easter basket! Mmmmmm. . . Delicious memories. I remember my dad searching for that big plastic bag...
When I was growing up, the one thing that outlasted anything else from my Easter basket was that one bunny. It was always the biggest, most solid bunny, and it always had round, sugary eyes. Most of the time, there was even an element of colored chocolate. Weeks after Easter, I’d finally start pulling that guy out of the freezer. First I’d break off the ears (and the eyes, of course). Next time, I’d hit it on the counter or drop it on the floor, hoping the base would break off. Then the middle part would provide two or three...
We know. It's early. But we have the most interesting and scrumptious-looking array of Easter Candy, and we figured you might as well have dibs on it! I keep walking past the stack of Reese's Peanut Butter Bunnies and thinking, "Who wouldn't want one of those?!" But there's some specific candy in particular that I want you to know about. What would Easter be without Brach's? After all they're the ones who taught the world about the circle of chocolatey-marshmallow life. You know the story. In magical springtime moments, marshmallow chickens sometimes fall into chocolate puddles. Then they lay chocolate-covered...
I don't know if it's just me, but Springtime tastes a bit like marshmallow Peeps, at least in my mind. It's hard to separate the two, since my childhood Easter memories are permanently intertwined with these little bits of deliciousness. I love this photo because of the off-center placement of the Peeps, in addition to the combination of colors. Yellow and blue go together when set off by green, at least in this picture. Beautiful Girlfriend would tell me that they complement each other or supplement or something. She's a real artist and knows this stuff. Plus she brings a...
According to Gourmet Live, the first American chocolate bunny was made in the mid-1840s by Whitman, but the fad did not catch on until they were mass-produced and marketed in 1916 by Bortz. The tradition of chocolate bunnies started in Germany in the early 1800s, though. Probably they were more like sinewy, gangly hares than soft cute bunnies, though. Whatever the history, you can't deny that they are an Easter classic. How do you eat them? Ears first or feet first? Back in the day when I worked at NCA we had quite a lively office debate on the topic....
Yes, I am thinking about having an Easter party this year. In the past that would have been a no-go, but this year I am open to change and thinking that maybe I will give it a whirl. After all, my seersucker suit and red bow tie missed a whole season of use last year, as I whiled away the time with other matters. I like this photo because it shows a neat way to incorporate Easter candy into a party favor arrangement. I like the little jars with pink ribbon. I don't know if I would do that myself,...
When I was a kid my brother and I ate almost nothing but candy, especially the yummy Easter chocolates probably until about mid-afternoon when our mother made us put down the sweet stuff in exchange for a plate of ham or something. Really? Trade chocolate for ham? Who wants to do that? One thing I always wanted to see in my Easter basket was one of those giant chocolate bunnies like the woman in the photo has. I practically dreamt of devouring one of those, eating it feet first so it couldn't hop away. That would have been awesome. Maybe...
I saw this photo in the Candy Favorites Flickr Group and was captivated by the colors. Beautiful job! I am a sucker for colors like this, as well as Easter candy. It all makes me wonder whether the shoes are as good as the jelly beans, marshmallow rope and candy-coated chocolates.
Is it lunch time yet? I am ready for a daily dose of sweet stuff!
I can't believe this is real. The Candy Favorites site is a great visual meal but nowhere near as good as actually having the candy in hand, or rather in mouth. I was excited to see this - a chocolate egg (perfect Easter theme, right?) with a gummi dinosaur center. I already knew Jelly Belly to be a leader in creativity in flavoring but didn't know they made things like this, which combine two great candies into one package, yet keep them separate enough to be enjoyed independently of each other. I think it's brilliant. Are these making their way...
My stomach must be bigger than my eyes for the Big Tex Jumbo Jelly Bean Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 10 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 10 Overall: 8 Imagine a world where Jelly Beans were so big that you could not only not eat a handful at a time, but you could to take multiple satisfying bites of one jellybean. Well, as they say, if there is a will, there is a way, and the jellybeans must have eaten a bite of Alice’s cake because they have grown exponentially in size. Limey green, grapey purple, sweet vanilla white (not to be confused...
Cadbury Caramel Eggs are a yummy addition to the Cadbury candy lineup... Sharability: 2 Denture Danger: 7 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 8 Overall: 10 The other breed of Cadbury’s Eggs; the egg filled with caramel. Caramel, thick yet stringy; smooth yet sticky; like all things in life, the caramel inside of this milk chocolate coating is paradoxical. It is almost as stringy as the caramel inside of a Caramelo, but is much gloopier and thus leaves teeth prints when you bite into it. For those of you who prefer the less intensely sweet taste, Cadbury’s Caramel Egg will probably be more...
An analysis of a great Easter Candy - Cadbury Creme Eggs Sharability: 2 Denture Danger: 3 Convenience: 8 Novelty: 10 Overall: 10 Well hello again candy blog readers! I have returned back to blogging in the United States after a wild and wonderful five months in Israel where I was living on a farm learning permaculture (sustainable living). But that story is not as enticing as the Cadbury Crème egg that you patiently anticipate all year. Well you don’t have to X off any more calendar days because the Cadbury crème egg has been laid on the storefront. Thick milk...
Brach's Peacock Eggs and Jelly Bird Eggs have long been Easter Classics and are considered by many to be the best jelly beans available. Sharability: 10 Denture Danger: 9 Convenience: 5 Novelty: 7 Overall: 7 The Jelly Bird lays the eggs, the humans collect the eggs by the millions and put them in colorful bags to sell to more humans to enjoy. The Brach’s depiction of the Jelly Bird is seen on the front of the bag of eggs and it isn’t what I would expect a Jelly Bird to look like. The elusive egg layer looks more like a...
It would be hard to imagine Easter or an Easter Basket without Brach's Fiesta Malt Eggs Sharability: 8 Denture Danger: 5 Convenience: 7 Novelty: 8 Overall: 8 Sweet, almost too sweet, cruncharific, colorful, malty, chocolatey, candy covered, (but mostly malty); these Brach’s Pastel Fiesta Malted Milk Eggs are perfect for the Easter Fiesta. These eggs are a malted mouthful and they are made with “Real Milk Chocolate.” (I sure hope it’s real! I didn’t realize candy companies had to inform the consumer that we were purchasing real chocolate; I would only assume that a chocolate candy being made from real...
