My run this morning wasn’t so great at all so instead we are going to talk about way cooler things like picnics and eating Easter candy.
For lunch I met my bff from college at a park near her work for some lunch. People here think I am crazy for being in summer clothes already.
I seriously love reminiscing with this friend about our crazy college days of calling our own snow days and staying home from class and watching The Hills all day or our crazy nights hanging out at 7-11 drinking slurpees.
Lunch that was packed in approximately 12 seconds.
On an extremely random note, I gave Brooke my phone to play with and when I took it back 2 minutes later this was on the screen:
She unlocked it, entered in the number for the text message and sent a picture of a house to #=$}]{#.8. We have a baby genius on our hands Billy.
It’s that time of year again where we have a friendly debate about the absolute best Easter candy ever.
Your options are:
A. Cadburry Mini Eggs
B. Jelly Beans (starburst jelly beans included)
C. Cadbury Creme Eggs (or the Cadburry caramel filled egg)
D. Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs
E. The classic chocolate bunny (even though these ones look kind of creepy).
F. Sour Patch Kid Bunnies.
G. PEEPS.
OR OTHER. Be specific about what you think the best Easter candy is.

Cadbury mini eggs for the win! I have eaten a crazy amount! I am using them as fuel for the NYC Half Marathon this weekend!
Laura
D! Reese’s Eggs without a doubt!!!
Betsy
Gasp! Shocking that such a question can even be considered!
Obviously the only correct answer is Cadbury Mini Eggs.
Obviously. Glad I could be of assistance.
Allyssa
Cadbury Creme Eggs for sure!
Katheryn
A all the way!
BeepieRuns
Have you seen the jumbo chewy nerds? They’re kinda like crunchy jelly beans and are my absolute favorite! I have to hide them from myself!!
Rebecca
Ugh those nasty cadbury eggs get me every time! http://www.colorushealthy.com/2013/01/running-teams-comradery.html
Megan
Cadbury mini eggs for sure! Reese PB Eggs come in a close second.
Katryn
Gah, I am just so torn between the Reese’s Eggs and the Sour Patch Bunnies. Both so good…
Brooke @ Running In Heels
I LOVE Cadberry Mini Eggs.. sooo addicting!
Chelsie
Cadbury Mini Eggs without a question! I just can’t be left alone with a bag!
Mia
No contest needed, cadbury mini eggs all the way! Now i love chocolate and peanut butter, and the resses eggs are extra delicious because there is so much penut buuter and the chocolate is always so soft and melty, but really nothing can compare to those mini eggs. There’s nothing else quite like them and they’re only a spring time treat. I’ve been known to stock up on em this time of year…
Megan
D. Reese’s Eggs. All day, every day.
Gina
Definitely mini eggs! They are the best!
Shelly
Starburst jelly beans hands down!
Tiffany Dutson
Reese’s no contest! My SIL says all candy that is not chocolate should be called ghetto candy:) Love your blog!
Eugenia Byrne
Absolutely no question…A. The eggs. I wait for them all year.
Nell
Come on now…which came first?! The egg or the Peep? :)
Only one time of year for PEEPS, PEEPS, PEEPS and all their fantastic awesomeness!
Jilly Bean
Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs with a side of Starbursts Jelly Beans for this girl. Glad I run so I can eat junk food.
For your ITB, are you watching your stride length and/or your steps per minute? Those are the two things that get mine every time.
Linda @running4two
Hands down…Cadbury Mini Eggs. I just bought myself a bag today and I like them cold out of the fridge. I also have a mini stock of Reeses Peanut Butter eggs and Snickers Peanut Butter eggs in the fridge as well. I am definitely a fan of the chocolate candy over the fruity ones. I’m sorry your run didn’t go well…I’ve been there too many times.
Cami
Have you tried Nerds Jelly Beans? They are addicting and they have become my favorite Easter candy. At least for this year.
Kelsey
I love starburst jelly beans!
Lindsey
Reese’s Eggs AND Peeps are my top. But everybody can’t pass up some good jelly beans.
And here’s something I want to try with my Easter candy. I found it on Pinterest…

How awesome is that!!!
Lyric
Uhmm……… Mini Eggs or Sour Patch Bunnies, too hard to choose just one!
Taylor
I love the reeses mini eggs.. because you take a few and enjoy them… then rationalize getting a few more because they are so tiny compared to the big egg :)
bridget bergstrom
mini eggs forsure!
Erica m
Sweet tart chicks and bunnies are awesome!
Adrianna
Reese’s eggs!!! my favorite candy of all time.
[email protected]
I want to believe I can eat all this good stuff you post.. But I really can’t.. Even running and doing a crazy amount of other exercise stuff. I still will gain…
I love all candy which is always a problem at every holiday.. but my favorites are the egg shaped peanutbutter cups.. Peeps are great over the fire. Try them roasted.. the best way to eat them.. hot and a little toasted.. It’s pretty funny too!
Laura @ beanstalk
Oh no you didn’t girl. Best Easter candy contest?! How can anybody just one? Cadbury cream egg, cadbury mini & jelly beans all have a special place in my heart. If I HAD to choose…. Cadbury cream eggs because they scream Easter the most to me.
Have you tried Snickers eggs? They are also the bomb.
Naomi
Reese’s eggs, for sure!
Stacey
Reese’s peanut butter eggs – hands down, no contest!
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More
D of course!
Natalie @ Twenty-Something Talk
Reeses Eggs & Robin Eggs! (Whoppers)
MAN I’m so excited for Easter!
catie
Reese’s eggs, hands down! LOVE them!
Losing Lindy
the cadbury eggs…yum
Tracie
Starburst jelly beans! Specifically the bag with only pink and red flavors.
Kelly in Canada
Cadbury Creme eggs. But the Canadian ones, because the American ones taste funny to me.
Holly KN
From your list: Peanut butter eggs.
My personal fave: Reese’s Marshmallow (plain or chocolate) Eggs
luv what you do
I am put in a write in for the Chicks Ducks and Bunnies (sweet tarts). They are the bomb!
Kym
I eat literally a bag of Sour Patch Kids a day…so that’s my vote!! The bunnies taste delicious too because they aren’t the normal Sour Patch flavors…deliciousness :)
Tiffany
cadbury mini eggs; hands down
Cathryn @ myheartscontent
Cadbury’s Creme Eggs, obviously!
Was the IT band not good? Or was it something else??? Sad about your run.
Meegan
Whopper’s Mini Robin Eggs are my absolute favorite! I already bought and ate two bags last week!
Chelsea
Reese’s eggs, for the win! Although, my mother actually prefers peeps with jelly beans inside…the different textures freak me out, but I suppose when it comes to candy, to each their own!
Jaeme + Randy
Robin Eggs!!! I am addicted. I could eat a whole bag in a day. They are dangerous.
Beth
The cadbury mini eggs… yum! my roommate and i have gone through a whole bag in like 3 days. and of course the Reeses eggs. so much better than normal reeses. Oh and Peeps… but only when they are stale or frozen, ha :)
Becky @thebexfactor.com
The best are the Whopper Robin eggs. Hands down.
Mary
Cadbury Mini Eggs!!!!!!!!!!! I die when they finally come out and then die again when they leave:'( Already sad they are going to be gone soon.
Khushboo
Mini eggs without a doubt….followed closely by Reeses!!
Natalie
Reese’s eggs!!!!!! Ah-mazing!!
Kristina
HANDS DOWN Reese’s PB Eggs. They are heaven! My mother in law bought me a few last year, which promptly went into the freezer to keep me from inhaling them. Except, you know what’s better than Reese’s eggs? Frozen Reese’s Eggs! Major Fail!
Tiff @ dynamics of happy
Omg genius Brooke is indeed. I don’t even know how to text a house icon on my iPhone. Can you get her TO teach me plz?
aine @ ainesadventuresabroad
Toss up between Mini Eggs and Cream Eggs both wayyyy too good! But over here they started having Cream Eggs at Halloween (scream Eggs? Idk if they do that at home), so maybe Mini Eggs…..
Melissa
Chocolate covered peeps…I’m addicted to those things right now.
Charlie @therunnerbeans
I am biased as I am British, but I think Cadbury’s creme eggs are the best, although the British ones are better than the ones they produce/ship to the US!
Kari Burghardt
Cadbury Cream Eggs! Oh yum, all that gooey frosting inside!! :)
Karla
Defiantly the Reese’s egg and Cadbury cream eggs!
Jess Gee
If you like Cadbury Creme Eggs check out my post for a recipe for a self saucing chocolate pudding with Cadbury Creme Eggs!!!! Yummo!

Cadbury mini eggs, hands down. There’s no competition.
Andrea
J Beans, all year round.
Melanie
I hope you know that swedish fish jelly beans now exist!
Pam
Hands down – option D. How can anyone resist pb and chocolate??
Sarah
Cadbury Creme Eggs!!! I bought the 4-pack the other day for my husband because he wasn’t feeling well and they are also his favorite… and I accidentally ate 3 of them. Oops
Elizabeth @ Positive Change
Reeses’s eggs, dark chocolate! YUM!
Monica
Cadbury Creme Eggs! All. The. Way.
Jamily
Reeses’s Peanut Butter Eggs all the way!!! And maybe a jelly bean here and there.
Rachel
D: Reese’s eggs HANDS DOWN!!!
Kim
Reese’s PB eggs! PB & chocolate are soul mates, destined to be together! :)
Brooke is a technical genius!! Our 3 year old son was playing with our Nook one day and ended up purchasing 1 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine and a whole year’s subscription to Time magazine. Needless to say, we password protected the ability to purchase anything so that didn’t happen again. I’m glad he only managed to purchase those two!
Erica
Reese’s Eggs! I found this giant one the other day at Wal-Mart but didn’t buy it. I might have to go back for it… http://www.amazon.com/Reeses-Giant-Peanut-Butter-Easter/dp/B007EQV2NW/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1363179729&sr=8-2&keywords=giant+reese%27s+egg
laurie
JELLY BEANS – especially the Starburst ones.
Sarah
A & D without a doubt!!!!!!
Crystal Griswold
Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs!!!!!!!!! Brooke is so smart :)
discorunner
Oh, how I loooooooooooove Cadbury Creme Eggs! I just can’t eat them in public or I end up a gooey, chocolate and creme covered MESS.
Lora @ Crazy Running Girl
Sour Patch Kid BUNNIES?! Where can I find these? Starburst Jelly Beans wins, but Reese’s anything is a good second. :)
Lizzie
STARBURST JELLY BEANS. Cadbury Mini Eggs are a VERY close second.
Kelly @ Turned up To Eleven!
That tossed together salad looks amazing! I’m craving one right now!
I have to say when this time of year rolls around I always look forward to Starburst Jelly Beans. They are my favorite. Reese Eggs are a close 2nd, but honestly I have a treat Reese’s every now and then.
I wish I could share the story of my husband’s aversion to Cadbury Eggs, but it’s really not a great show and tell routine :)
Celia
CADBURY MINI EGGS!
Traci
Hands down Cadbury Cream eggs are the best!!! Second would be the Reeses. Jelly Beans & Sour Patch kids are not even on my radar!!
Emily
Cadbury mini eggs!!!!!!! I wish I had some right now. I also love almost any kind of jelly bean. Chocolate covered Peeps are not bad either. All in all, Easter has the best candy of any holiday.
Barbie
A – mini eggs for sure!
Nicole
Cadbury Mini Eggs…always and forever.
Jenn @BeYOUatBeMe
Easter DOTS! And Reese’s Easter Eggs for sure!
Laura
Reeces Eggs for sure! I can’t stand peeps!
Jen
It is a toss up between sour patch and jelly beans I love them both. We used to have peep wars. We would put 2 in the microwave facing each other with tooth picks stuck in them then microwave them for 15 seconds whichever one popped the other first won. It was super fun. I dont like peeps so this was the best way to use them in my opinion. :)
Candice
Ducks, Chicks, and Bunnies Sweet Tarts ALL THE WAY.
Morgan De La Hoz
Janae, seriously Cadbury would be the death of me! I love love their chocolate, good thing Easter is only once a year :)
On a side note, isn’t it crazy to reminisce college days?! My old roommate and I ate lots of ice cream and watched the Hills too!
Blaire @ Just Been Running
Haha this is hilarious because literally I don’t think you could find someone more obsessed with jelly beans and Starburst jelly beans than me….no joke I almost ate an entire bag of jelly beans yesterday…in 5 minutes..then I ate more Starburst jelly beans last night…this has already been about our 6th bag in a few weeks. I have a seirous problem with Jelly beans :)
Jamie
Mini Eggs All the way!
Lori
Chocolate marshmallow bunnies! I inhale these around Easter time. It has to be the chocolate marshmallow, not just the plain marshmallow. So not the same!
Noel M
Close tie between Cadbury Mini Eggs and Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs. But since you can get Reese’s in this form in any season, I will give the win to Cadbury for Easter!
Sarah
Cadbury Creme Eggs win forever and ever and ever
Whitney
Cadberry Mini Eggs FO SHO!!! I bought a bag on Sunday and they are already gone!!! HORRIBLE!!! :)
Heather @ Run Like a G!
SNICKER EGGS!
I love a Snickers bar every now and then but putting the Snickers in a egg form is so super yummy! My mom bought me a 6 pack back in Feb. and they are already gone! I am secretly hoping she gets me some more for Easter :)
Stephanie
Its a tie between A and D!
Linda
Reese’s Egg frozen!!!!
Leah | Dine n Dash Runners
Totally Reese Eggs!! Anything with chocolate and peanut butter! Yum!! Although Mini Eggs are a close second!!
Heather
FavRed Starburst Jelly Beans!! Mmmm!!! Thanks for reminding me how much I love those!!
Meghan N
D – OF COURSE!
Megan
I didn’t even look at the rest b/c the Cadbury mini eggs are perfection!!!
Jennifer
Peeps!!! They are absolutely the best Easter candy ever. Now, I scoff at the way Peeps have tried to cut into other seasons and holidays, but Easter Peeps=perfection.
Nikki
Peeps are fun to decorate with
Christina
Reese’s Eggs. The answer is ALWAYS Reese’s Egg.
Kay
Cadbury Mini Eggs ALL THE WAY!!! Although I also love the cute little Lindt chocolate bunnies too, haha.
Amanda N
It’s a close call between the cadbury mini eggs and reeses eggs!
Jessica
Cadbury Mini-eggs I am COMPLETELY obsessed with them. They have a Christmas version now also! Problem is I can eat a whole bag in a day…
courtney!
STALE peeps (HAVE to get stale for awhile pre-Easter) or cadbury eggs. mmmmmm!
