Holiday is the second biggest holiday of the
year when it comes to candy, taking second only to the king of them all: Halloween.
Still, that says a lot about the candy
industry and how much it prospers around this time of year. I can’t get enough
of the unique, brightly colored candies that always seem to be shaped in the
form of an egg, some type of bird, or a rabbit. Perhaps it’s because I’m a big
fan of the outdoors and precious wildlife. Perhaps I’m just big on the spring
season alone.
I always get asked what my favorite candy is
for whatever reason despite not having a big sweet tooth, but when it comes to Holiday,
I don’t have much trouble pinpointing my top sweets packaged in candy boxes.
Read on to see my favorites.
Peeps
The Holiday classic. For some reason, people
seem to love or hate Peeps. I’m on the loving side since I really do enjoy the
consistency of marshmallow and the sweetness of the colored sugar on every
Peep. Just as well, the designs, colors, and sometimes different flavors that
Peeps come in make it exciting to see what they’re gonna do next.
Robin
eggs
As far as chocolate candies go, getting a few
candy boxes of the robin colored “eggs” is one of my favorite things. I like to
think of them as chocolate malt balls whether or not they actually are. The
design of the eggs is particularly appealing to me as well considering how spot
on they are with the color.
Sour
candies
Every year I look forward to the different
types of sour candies out on the Holiday market as they get my taste buds going
quicker than any other candy. I’m not huge on the extremely sour things like
Warheads, but something with a bit of bite to them is always fun.
Cadbury
eggs
More candy means more eggs. These are
particularly well-known because of the creaminess within. There’s not much else
out there in terms of candy that screams Holiday quite like Cadbury eggs.
Chocolate
bunnies
Now, I can’t say pure chocolate shaped into a
mold is my favorite, because I really don’t ever crave pure milk chocolate. But
this makes the list simply because it’s a staple of Holiday candies you can
expect to see year in and year out. I especially enjoy it when they color the
tips of the ears, the eyes, or even the little bowtie that always happens to be
present on the rabbit.
