Peeps, Cadbury Cremes, Reese’s Eggs, jelly beans — vote the GOAT Easter candy and crown your basket champion.

Hunting Down the Best Easter Candy

The best Easter candy debate sneaks up on you every spring—one minute you’re filling a basket, the next you’re on a couch arguing whether Peeps are food or art installation. Easter has its own candy economy, with seasonal-only flavors that disappear by April and somehow taste better because of the scarcity. A few classics show up every year ready to throw hands.

The Basket

  • Cadbury Creme Eggs: Polarizing, fondant-filled, and somehow sold out every year.
  • Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs: The shape change makes them taste better. Don’t argue.
  • Peeps: A texture experience, not a flavor. You’re either in or out.
  • Chocolate Easter Bunnies: The hollow-vs-solid divide is generational.
  • Jelly Beans: Filler in any other context, royalty for two weeks a year.
  • Hershey’s Easter Eggs: The reliable dark horse.
  • Mini Chocolate Eggs (M&M’s, Hershey’s): Designed to vanish from the bowl.
  • Robin Eggs (Whopper’s): Malted candy with a fan club nobody admits to.
  • Easter-themed Marshmallow Treats: Peeps’ less-controversial cousins.
  • Cadbury Mini Eggs: The sleeper champion, full stop.

If you ask us, Cadbury Mini Eggs are quietly running the whole category—the candy shell to chocolate ratio is unreasonable, and the seasonal scarcity makes them taste even better. Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs come in close behind because they’re objectively superior to the regular cup, and yes, the shape matters. The best Easter candy crown belongs to whichever one your hand reaches for first when nobody’s watching.

Vote below and let your sweet tooth do the talking—the basket doesn’t lie, and neither does that secret stash you’re hiding from the kids.
