We just get done with Valentine's Day and they are already putting Easter Stuff out on the shelves. I really don't mind cause I love those little "Peeps" marshmellow candy. Especially like it when you pop the seal on them and let them get a little hard and then eat them. The one thing about peeps is most people I know are one extreme or another. They either love em or hate em. What's your favorite Easter Candy? Do you like Peeps? Do you know what peeps are?

"The soul would have no rainbow, if the eye had no tears." (Native American Proverb)
My wife loves'em but I'd just as soon run over them in the car, but I do like chocolate.

I know what they are! I love them March through April and hate them the rest of the year. Just like candy corn is the best in October and November, but disgustingly sweet after Thanksgiving. My favourite Easter candy has to be a chocolate, dark chocolate, Easter bunny. Oh yeah, it has to be solid. And Cadbury Eggs, another sweet that can only be tolerated seasonally.
Herrerano ham isn't candy? Although I do love ham with pineapple. It's funny how those candies are only good during their season. I totally agree. The rest of the time I could care less about eating them. A
It depends on your definition of "candy". The Honey Baked hams have that brown sugar glaze on them that's phonomenal. That's definitely candy.
As for peeps, loved 'em when I was a kid, could take 'em or leave 'em now. Usually leave 'em.
Favourite Easter candy: chocolate bunnies. But it has to be a solid bunny. And none of that artificial chocolate crap. I wouldn't feed that to my dogs. I love them too much.

Normal is a relative term. For some reason it is not a term my relatives use to describe me.
Anytime after 1400 on saturday and before 0700 on thursday. We're off all of Carnaval and Ash wednesday. Bring beer. Leave your question marks at home.
You are sooo right about the artificial chocolate, it has a weird petroleum product taste. I think they make the stuff in the same refinery that they produce the pastry filling found in the desserts on an oriental buffet.
My faves are Cadbury's eggs, chocolate bunnies, Reese's peanut butter eggs, and those little chocolate eggs that look like drops of but have Rice Krispies in 'em.
