1. I still have to force myself NOT to buy
Cadbury Creme Eggs. I LOVE those damn things, and I used to buy them in quantity. I'm trying to control my sweet-tooth nowadays -- I used to give it free reign.

2. This Was Probably a Regional Product,...
...but growing up in the Philly suburbs in the late 50's and early 60's there were cocanut cream, chocolate covered eggs from a company named Plantation.

For me, since they went out of business, Easter Eggs just haven't been the same.

4. Eww. Forgot about those.
And for good reason- I was never a huge fan of marshmallow.

13. There is a candy that is kind of like circus peanuts but not
and they were shaped like rabbits and eggs. But they were not as sickly sweet as circus peanuts. I can not remember their names, but those were so good. And my grandma used to buy those for me every year when I was a kid. I miss that lady.

15. Peeps?
The sugar-coated marshmallow thingies, or are you thinking of something different?

these did not have a sugar coating on the outside. They had a texture like circus peanuts.

14. I can't remember the name of these
And they're probably not just for Easter, but my mom always put them in our baskets. It was like nougat, covered in caramel and dipped in chopped pecans. Kind of like a Stuckey's pecan roll, but it wasn't from Stuckey's. Maybe it was a regional thing, I don't know.
