Our Favorite Gourmet Easter Candy

Feb 26th 2021

While the holiday most associated with candy is Halloween, it goes without question that the holiday most associated with gourmet, delicious, decadent candy is, of course, Easter.
In addition to plenty of Easter candy in bulk, such as jelly beans, Reese’s peanut butter eggs, and marshmallow PEEPs, Easter ushers in some once-a-year confectionary delights that many wait all year for, and for good reason. Let’s take a look at some!
Gardner’s Chocolate Easter Eggs
Gardner’s is known for hand-made candy since 1897, and even today, they make their chocolate delights with care and plenty of love - and it shows during Easter. One of the things they’re known for each year is their delicious and beautiful Easter eggs - our favorite being the Peanut Butter Meltaway.
This giant 8oz egg is filled with creamy peanut butter that will have your mouth watering the second you open the box. It’s then covered in rich milk chocolate and decorated beautifully.

In addition to the Peanut Butter Meltaway, their gourmet Easter eggs come in other flavors including coconut, cashew, butter creme, chocolate fudge, maple nut, nut, and this delicious fruit and nut chocolate egg:

Nestled inside the chocolate shell lies delicious pieces of pineapple, cherries, and mixed nuts enrobed in fabulous pure vanilla fondant.
All we can say is… wow! These eggs are a chocolate lover’s dream and since they’re only available once a year, sell out quickly so be sure to order your favorites soon.
Gourmet Chocolate Rabbits
What Santa is to Christmas, Peter Cottontail is to Easter and it goes without saying he’s been immortalized in chocolate for over a century. Chocolate rabbits have long been an Easter favorite and today they’re more than just a large piece of solid chocolate in the shape of a bunny.
One of our favorite chocolate rabbits is Gardner’s Peanut Butter Meltaway Bunny. Just like their Meltaway Egg we talked about a little bit ago, this milk chocolate rabbit is filled with the same delicious, creamy peanut butter that Gardner’s is known for.

Of course, if peanut butter isn’t your thing, or you’re looking for one of the most delicious chocolate rabbits available… look no further! Gardner’s Solid Milk Chocolate Rabbit is guaranteed to be the most delicious you’ve ever tasted. Their milk chocolate is second to none, and you won’t get more of it than right here with this solid bunny.

If you’re looking for a sugar-free option, we’ve got you covered. In fact, after just one bite of Gardner’s Sugar-Free Chocolate Bunny, you’ll wonder how it’s really sugar-free!
Gardner’s Toasted Coconut Nests
These not only look great, but they’re also simply delicious. These gourmet toasted coconut nests are made from fresh coconut mixed with Gardner’s delicious milk chocolate then topped with sweet jelly beans to make a great addition to your dessert table on Easter Sunday. While they may look too good to eat, we challenge you to eat just one!

There’s no doubt that Easter brings out some of the most delicious candy and we hope you try some gourmet Easter candy favorites for yourself.
