How did we ever arrive at chocolate bunnies and peeps for Easter?
I celebrate Easter as a religious holiday and I love dyeing eggs and making Easter baskets with chocolate bunnies.
I think you can do both, although all of the name brand candy is HORRIBLE. Hershey, the malt eggs, m&m’s—the quality has gone down over the years, the sizes have shrunk and they’re very expensive. I don’t buy any if it.
Eggs and bunnies are symbols of fertility, which has been celebrated in the early springtime since long before Christianity (or Judaism, for that matter). Since the era of Astarte, in fact (which is where we get the name "Easter").
