The week following Easter means one thing: Cadbury Crème Eggs are on sale. Though I often talk about clean eating, I must confess I have a weakness for Cadbury Crème Eggs. If you want to know all my secrets, devouring a few Cadbury Crème Eggs with a cup of black coffee is my favorite guilty pleasure.
There is something about Easter candy: the Crème Eggs, the Peeps, the chocolate bunnies. Not even Halloween, candy’s official holiday, has so many sweets so customized to its culture. Accordingly, Easter candy has come to pervade my family traditions surrounding the holiday beyond just the Easter basket.
Every year after our ham dinner my mother, brother and I put a Peep in the microwave and gather around to watch what happens. If you’ve never witnessed this phenomenon, I implore you to try it.
Go on. Indulge yourself. After all, Easter comes but once a year.
