Cadbury Mini Eggs
Cadbury Mini Eggs have a hard shell adorably decorated in a speckled design and creamy chocolate inside, making them a hit for both texture and taste.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs
If you like the regular Reese’s peanut butter cup, there’s no reason you won’t fall in love with their Easter offering in the shape of an egg. It’s similar in taste to their regular cups but with a slightly different ratio of chocolate to peanut butter. They’re a favorite for those who like a sweet and salty combo.
Cadbury Creme Eggs
The Cadbury Creme Egg has been around for over 100 years now and it’s a long time favorite for combining chocolate with a sweet, gooey center in a way that truly mimics a real egg. They’re known for being indulgent and a fun, messy treat that many look forward to.
Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffle Easter Eggs

Ferrero Collection Crispy Eggs
Ferrero Collection Crispy Eggs go beyond just a smooth creamy filling and offer their classic crunchy center. They’re different than the classic hazelnut offering the candy is known for using just a few rice krisps in this candy but the textural difference is a welcomed addition.
Jelly Belly Spring Mix Jellybeans
Jelly Belly Spring Mix Jellybeans are include a fun variety of flavors and vibrant colors. They’re fruity and tangy, making them a fun must-have add-in for any jelly bean loving kid.
Dove Dark Chocolate Eggs
Dove Dark Chocolate Eggs cater to those who prefer dark chocolate, offering a smooth, rich taste that’s not overly sweet. Everyone knows and loves Dove for their inspirational saying on the inside of a wrapper and these Easter eggs are no different.
Russell Stover Eggs
Russell Stover Eggs are individually wrapped and a classic choice for an Easter basket with their chocolate and marshmallow filling. The flattened backside of the egg is the perfect shape to hold just the right amount of filling to chocolate ratio.
Cadbury Caramel Eggs
Cadbury Caramel Eggs are just like their creme egg sibling but stuffed with…you guessed it, caramel. Some prefer this slightly less sweet filling to that of the creme egg but it’s really a matter of personal choice.
Lindt Milk Chocolate Bunny
