Be Sweet To Mom This Mother's Day With These Scrumptious ...
If you belong to an Easter-celebrating persuasion (or were just a non-religious lucky kid who got to cash in on all the good holidays), you may fondly remember waking up every Easter Sunday to a trail of plastic grass leading up to a basket filled with chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, Cadbury eggs, and other festive treats that can now be blamed for your current cavity problem. While memories of my annual basket hunt also conjure up feelings of embarrassing stupidity and anxiousness as my parents would sit on the couch and laugh at my inability to find my basket just within the confines of our tiny living room, the payoff of finally uncovering the bucket of bunny-themed goodies was always worth it. Sure, those days of spoiling your ham dinner by scarfing down candy all day are probably long gone by now, and it's rare that you'd be easily lured out of bed by a handful of jelly beans like you used to (not unless you were promised a double-shot latte to wash them down with), but you're not too old to appreciate the holiday's sweetest indulgences, especially when they're inspired by some of the finer things in life! From exotic chili-infused chocolate bunnies to hand-painted marshmallow eggs, Easter candy isn't just limited to the 5-pound bags of candy-coated eggs from Walgreens! Instead of just snoozing until next Valentine's Day, the world's high-end chocolatiers and candy companies are always coming up with new ways to cash in on the sweets-centric holiday to fuse traditional favorites with modern flavors to produce most chic (and most yummy!) Easter treats. If you can get through it without drooling, check out the slideshow for some more couture candy finds for this Easter holiday!
