Top 10 Easter Candy

What would an Easter basket be without candy? Honestly, it would be nothing more than fake grass, trinkets, and hard boiled eggs. Regardless of age, candy has become a major part of Easter. In fact History stated, “Easter is the second best-selling candy holiday in America, after Halloween.” Though people love Christmas candy, this holiday is known more for its decorations, gifts, and cookies. As a result, many candy companies create seasonal candy to capitalize on this holiday. Who can blame them? People are not disappointed when they buy these seasonal editions, because they know what to expect. This comfort has allowed companies like Hershey© to reap the rewards of the Easter season. As you go through the list, think about the Easter baskets you received in the past, as well as baskets you may be preparing now. You’ll be shocked to see how many of your candies are on this list.
