Cadbury Mini Eggs are milk chocolate egg-shaped candies coated in a sugar shell. In the United States this product is manufactured by The Hershey Company of Hershey, Pennsylvania. Each egg is about 3/4 inch long and about 1/2 inch wide at its base. The chocolate inside each egg has a buttery and slightly salty taste to it which makes eating a reasonable number of the eggs pretty much impossible.
The sugar shells are in a variety of pastel colors, with tiny purple speckles on the eggs to give them a robin’s egg appearance. If your hands are warm at all the sugar shell will very quickly dissolve in your hand, so be prepared to lick some sugar off your palm if you decide to hold onto them for any length of time. (Extra treat!)
Cadbury Mini Eggs are only sold during the Western Easter holiday, so it’s a good idea to stock up as soon as you see them in stores. If you participate in Lent and choose to give up chocolate just remember that Sundays are your feast days so you can totally eat these eggs on Sundays! Yay, you!

An ice-cold Coke goes best with this chocolate. (See? We’re soda neutral here!)
Risky Business
is the perfect movie to watch while you snack on this treat. It’s always fun to bite into these eggs while you watch Joel dive through the air to catch his mom’s Fabergé egg!

These chips are the perfect amount of salty and sweet with lots of great barbecue flavor on every chip. The mesquite is not overpowering, just enough to make the chip entertaining, but not too much to make it taste like you’re in a smokehouse.
Each chip is cooked in 100% sunflower oil in small batches so they’re extra crunchy. Extra crunchy makes me extra happy, but does not equal extra mess. Sure, there’s a film of barbecue goodness on your fingers when you’re done eating them, but that just means you get to lick your fingers!

Reese’s Pieces have been a special treat of mine since way before a certain extraterrestrial made them popular. These candy-coated confections come in a muted color palate of yellow, orange, and black — like the leftover colors that kids don’t really want to eat, which I never understood, but to each his marketing own.
Pieces don’t have quite enough peanut buttery goodness inside to counteract the domination of the hard candy shell. Each Pieces should be twice as filled, or I should be more patient and let the outer shell dissolve on my tongue first. Also, for some reason it never seems like there’s quite enough Pieces in the single serving bag — better get two bags!
No mess, unless it’s a really hot summer day and you leave them in your hand for several minutes. But, who does that? Put them in your mouth, silly!

I have two favorite beverages I enjoy with this delicious candy: Ice-cold milk and Coca-Cola
. Both merry perfectly with the peanut butter to hit that refreshing spot. Besides, double-fisting your beverages is fun!
