Since we're so much about health and fitness, perhaps you're wondering why we've featured an Easter Treat page that contains
so much sweet stuff that is supposed to be bad for you. Well, there are two reasons for that: 1) We aren't food Nazis. We
recognize that holidays are for splurging a little bit (just so long as you don't start making every day a holiday!).
And 2) We figure that if you do indulge in some of these Easter goodies, you'll want to get back into
your fitness program to work off those extra calories, so you'll be back here soon enough, checking out our favorite exercise
and diet merchants. So it's a win-win proposition for everyone. The irresistible treats you see on this page come from either
1-800 Flowers.com,
Harry and David, or
a variety of Amazon merchants. (Oh, and some of these treats are sugar free and/ or low carb, for you hard cases.) |

Neuhaus Easter Mâché Egg
With its European flavor (both visually and tastily), this gift is both sophisticated and whimsical. An Old World bunny
dresses up the paper mâché egg (as you can see, the Easter bunny dressed more formally in those days), and
inside are the classic flavors of Neuhaus gourmet Belgian chocolate. We call this delectable decor!

Two Farmer MacGregor Chocolate Bunnies
As soon as the Easter bunny hit the New World, off came his Sunday best and on went the overalls! You know the people at
Harry and David must work really hard in their orchards because they call these bunnies' overalls "spiffy attire." In any
case, they're solid milk chocolate, 100% delicious and certain to charm whoever you give them to. Of course you can get
just a single Farmer MacGregor Chocolate Bunny,
but we thought you might want to get two and keep one for yourself.

Not a fan of the Easter bunny? Then how about Lucy the Lamb? And of course, Lucy doesn't come empty handed - she's toting

Easter Egg Nest
Everybody gives Easter baskets, so be a little different this year and give an Easter egg nest! It's made of grass or
pussywillow and features premium peanut-butter and dark chocolate eggs, plus a pair of hollowed-out quail eggs to decorate
the nest once the eggs are gone... because it's so artfully created that your recipient will want to keep it on display
year round.

Jasper and Chocolate Easter Eggs
Of course Easter is about more than yummy sweets... it's also about cute plush Easter bunnies! Jasper here is 15" of love
and he's a Boyd's bunny, so you know he's got class. You can also tell that by his polka dot bow tie. Maybe class isn't
important to you; in that case he comes with a bag of chocolate eggs. Which brings us right back to the yummy sweets.

G'Day Bunnies
In case you didn't get from our comments above, we really are fond of that Old World bunny style, so we were thrilled to
find a dressy pair of chocolate bunnies produced from German metal molds circa 1923. The chocolate is as classy as the
bunnies' attire - it's Belgian milk chocolate, and the details are hand painted in dark and white chocolate. This pair is
a Dean & Deluca exclusive that you can buy from Amazon.

Berry Gift Box with Chocolate Bunny
Since those chocolate covered strawberries were such a hit on Valentine's Day (our readers probably felt our enthusiasm
jumping off the page!), we wanted to track down a similar gift with an Easter motif. So here it is - chocolate dipped
strawberries rolled in a variety of toppings, including green coconut, pink swizzles, and almond slivers. They're given
a dramatic presentation in a gold gift box with black velvet lining... and to add a smile to the package, there are also
some jelly beans, a grinning white chocolate bunny and Easter grass. This is almost too decadent for Easter, but we
couldn't resist!

Panoramic 13-Ounce Easter Sugar Egg
We always loved these enchanting panoramic sugar eggs when we were growing up. In fact, we never did eat them - we just
let them sit on our dresser until they became dusty and crumbly. Will you let your panoramic sugar egg suffer a similar
fate? You may be tempted, since these are so cute. They're 5 inches long and come in one of four Easter colors - pink,
peach, yellow, or purple. Each egg has an Easter scene inside. Have you ever wondered how to make these panoramic eggs?
We did, and we found a webpage with instructions.
Frankly, it sounds rather complicated, so unless you're the artsy crafty type and rather adventuresome at that, you'll
probably just want to buy them.
