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, candy eggs come in many different forms. For example, you could have chocolate, marshmallow, gummy, or even filled ones.
However, Easter Candy isn't limited to just eggs.
Easter candy is known for its pastel colors that welcome all signs of spring. It also is known for its shapes. Eggs, bunnies, carrots, and beans line stores all across the nation, waiting for their moment to shine on Easter morning.
I thought it would be fitting to review a few available candies to let you all in on our Easter stock this year.
Today's lineup has our Gummy Sanded Bunnies, Eggstravagant Gummies, Easter Juju, Easter Jelly, and Nonpareils. I have also brought in some reinforcement for today's test to make sure we give you a well-rounded review, my twin sister (Claudia).
No, we are not identical, and we certainly do not have similar taste buds, so today will be interesting.
THE EASTER CANDY IN OUR TASTE TEST WILL BE JUDGED ON THREE UNIQUE QUALITIES:
EASTERABILITY (How Eastery is this candy really? Is it perfect for every bunnies basket, or could it be left out?)
IS IT A SIGN OF SPRING? (Does this candy convey the arrival of spring, or does it have us wishing it was winter?)
CATASTROPHIC CARROT OR EGGSCELLENT: (Does it taste delicious or like a dirty carrot?)
