Question:
Does anybody make real genuine Easter candy anymore? The kind that I remember when I was a kid.
The only store around here (in the Godforsaken boonies) that sells Easter candy is Walmart, and all they have is
(ladies, hold your ears)
absolute CRAP.
The "peeps" now come in gaudy neon colors and they are completely inedible. They seem to be made of a mixture of pure sugar and plastic. Probably some lethal concoction from China.
Years ago in the halcyon realms of the good ol' days, Easter peeps were always yellow and made with real marshmallow. I also remember white rabbit "peeps" with pink eyes.
Whatever happened to those big chocolate eggs that were filled with coconut cream? They always had pretty pastel candy flowers on top. I'd commit devious deeds to have one of those again.
And BIG SOLID chocolate rabbits! Seems like most candy rabbits are small and hollow nowadays - filled with vapid air. You get a three ounce rabbit housed in an elaborate 64 ounce box.
Bring back my childhood immediately!!
(sorry, I've always been known to make impossible demands).
You know what I really used to love? Those beautiful elaborate eggs made of sugar, which had little Easter scenes inside. They were so pretty that I never dared to eat one.
They were created for visual pleasure - not consumption.
For your visual consumption, I have a collection of Easter photos. A few are recent, but many were taken when I lived in Texas.
Could you picture me having a tea party with my bunny dishes??
Perhaps I'll live dangerously and use one of the bunny mugs this year.
I never purposely collected rabbits, but I seem to have a lot of them. They multiply quickly.....
The big "Mama" chick walks around when you wind her up. It used to drive the cats crazy.
The chick emerging from an egg isn't very old, but it's sweet nevertheless.
