Easter Candy

Easter will be here before we know it! With Easter comes lots of chocolate and candy! Yumm! I need to start thinking about other “gifts” for the baskets this year. Maybe a movie or puzzle.

This year is exciting because we will be making our own Easter candy. My Aunt Ruth is staying with my mom and we are all going to get together with my cousin and have a day of candy making. My grandmother used to make candies for every holiday and then some. Too bad my candy molds are still in storage…


I don’t have the list of items we will be making, but I hope it includes some chocolate peanut butter eggs. Those are my favorite! These eggs below look pretty tasty too!

Have you ever made your own candy? What is your favorite?
