See's Easter Assortment Bunny Family
If you are easily charmed by the sight of a ribbon-bedecked momma rabbit gazing pridefully upon her brood of eight bunnies (also adorned in pastel-toned, sex-appropriate bowtastic neckware), then you too might be inclined to shell out $12.55 for See’s holiday-inspired box of chocolate what-nots and diddley-doos – officially called the Easter Assortment. This bodacious looking cardboard treasure trove is so cheerfully decorated, in fact, that it successfully tricks you into thinking that you are paying for the mother lode of all Easter candy collections.

Cadbury Google+

Candy is fun! Creative! Inventive! So what does any respectable candy company like Cadbury do when its Google+ page gets 500,000 “circlers” (fans)? …it celebrates by making a Google+ profile page out of chocolate!

How does one go about making an edible profile page? Well, the base is made of 1 kilogram (about 2.2 pounds) of milk chocolate. Followed by a layer of Cadbury Dream Chocolate. Then topped with layers of sculpted chocolate pieces all held together by chocolate glue. There are even edible inks printed on sugar papers to display fan photos. Amazing!

Sees Assorted Decorated Eggs Sliced Open

Easter eggs! This is the time of year when you have oodles and oodles of options. Do you want hard candy shells that protect a layer of chocolate goodness? Or maybe you prefer them filled… with peanut butter? Or marshmallow? Or fondant? Each spring, I become so embarrassingly giddy, so overwhelmed by the sheer volume of delectable eggs available for purchase, that I end up buying a veritable mountain of them – which I then hoard to get me through those long summer months when the only kinds of eggs you can buy are hard boiled or scrambled. Some Easter eggs are so delicious that I can’t imagine hoarding them for any longer than a couple of days. Sometimes, it’s all I can do to keep from ripping into the package while I’m waiting in line at the cash register. See’s Assorted Decorated Eggs are like that.

Chocolate socks

Maybe it’s already abundantly clear to your family and friends that you’re a Candy Addict®. Maybe you’re already lucky enough to receive assorted boxes of bonbons for National Gumdrop Day, National Taffy Day, and National Chocolate-Covered Anything Day. (Those are real holidays, by the way, celebrated on February 15, May 23, and December 16, respectively.) But maybe you’d like to kick it up a notch and make sure that no one in your life has any doubts about your greatest affection.

If so, nothing says, “I love you” like a new pair of candy-themed socks! Sock Dreams sells these adorable chocolate socks for $10. I received the socks as a gift, cleverly wrapped around a pound of chocolate. And when I made my stylish debut at work, I had people stopping me all day to make comments about them…which I can only hope means that my my coworkers will begin deluging my desk with all the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, Milky Ways, and Snickers leftover from their own chocolate indulgences.
