(4,733 posts)Welcome back debm.
Peanut butter is one of the most horrible things I've ever tasted.
Love peanuts, but not whatever makes it peanut butter. Same for almonds, and peaches.

(478 posts)I have jelly beans year round! A few years ago, I used to get them at WalMart, their name brand for $1.00. Then they disappeared. So, I switched to bulk at Winco, then those disappeared. I have ordered some off of Amazon, but Brach's are expensive on Amazon and all the other brands are nasty! Now I rely on Easter to I stock up. What the heck went wrong with jelly beans?

(3,298 posts)Both of those are nasty.
Hands off all the chocolate, especially the Reese's Peanut Butter eggs. Don't touch those, and no one gets hurt.
Did I mention that I am a chocoholic?
debm55
(62,457 posts)I always stock up on the day after Easter. Usually 50 percent off.

I might buy this year.
Chocolate is best, the Reeses peanut butter eggs, and especially Russell Stover Raspberry Cream Eggs covered in dark chocolate.

(3,432 posts)I like chocolate and I like peanut butter, but for some reason, I don't like chocolate and peanut butter mixed together. Go figure.
The jelly beans can stay, as long as they're Jelly Bellies, which is, in my opinion, the only good thing to come out of the Reagan administration (he loved them).

(30,100 posts)Their juicy pear flavor tastes more like pears than pears do. I also really like their pink grapefruit and tangerine flavors.

(18,914 posts)Im very thankful Robins Eggs are only available at Easter. I LOVE them. The big ones. Not the tiny ones in the box. The ratio of hard coating to chocolate to malted milk is off.

I'm not nuts about jellybeans either, but they're not close to peeps in distaste.

(3,841 posts)Please withhold judgement until you have prepared and served them properly!
Roasting a traditional pastel peep (no lime, watermelon, or chocolate) on a skewer over an open fire produces a confection which resembles creme brulee.
Any other preparation misses the great potential of these colorful bunnies.

(1,207 posts)I like black jelly beans, and can do without the rest of the colors. Jelly Bellies are good but not worth the price, IMO. Malted milk balls are okay if they're relatively fresh. When they grow old they get nasty.
Notice that no one, no one at all, is advocating against the chocolate bunny.

(23,779 posts)Chocolate Rabbits but only if they are dark chocolate (which is very hard to find)
Reese's peanut butter eggs are acceptable
I hate the traditional "Easter" candy.
Marshmallow Peeps are only good for building hysterical dioramas. I love looking at those
Or sadistic "science" experiments
