Easter is an interesting time for candy, second only to Halloween. Every candy company seems to have their own Easter version, and then there are the candies you only see at Easter like Cadbury Eggs. So. Many. Candy. Eggs.
As a kid, you’re ecstatic to find Easter candy in the bottom of your basket and promptly devour all of it (and maybe some of the grass, by accident). Except for the big Chocolate bunny – that one, you just chomp off its head and save the rest, wrapped in foil, for another time / three months later when you find it again. Then, you run off to try all the delicious Easter recipes for your early Easter dinner or brunch!
But have you gone back and tried all that candy as an adult, with special adult taste buds? Moreover, have you done an in-depth examination of the TRULY WEIRD Easter candies out there? There is edible Easter grass. Yes. This is a thing.
Your pals at RecipeLion.com went and tried all of the weirdest Easter candy we could find.
1. Edible Easter Grass
Not gonna lie, at first, the fact that this treat exists is super weird and a bit off-putting. After all, why would you want to eat basket stuffing? But it’s actually super, super addicting. It’s hard to stop eating it after you start. Sure, it’s a glorified (and grass-ified) church communion wafer, but ohmygoodness. Good stuff. *stuffs face*
2. Wedding Cake-flavored Chocolate Bunny
Upon seeing the words ‘Wedding Cake’ you might think this bunny might be life-changing, like an actual wedding cake. In that regard, perhaps this bunny-of-a-different-color isn’t lying. The taste of unicorn tears and regret still lingers. This was a divorce bunny. Also, wedding cake is apparently a trendy candy flavor at the moment. We also tried a candy egg in this flavor. (It was also weird.)
3. Blue Raspberry Peeps
Blue hands. Blue tongue. Blue insides, probably. I’m blue, da ba di da ba di.
4. Jelly Beans with Actual Flavors
These are pretty good, although we can all agree that purple and black are just plain weird beans. After you eat about 5, the taste becomes this odd sugary nothingness that ensures sores inside your mouth. Also, a jellybean tastes best when dug out of the bottom of your basket, with a stray piece of Easter grass stuck to it.
5. Red Velvet Egg
This Red Velvet Egg is for when you want to discover what the Great Depression tasted like. It was VERY heavy on the chocolate, but also very disappointing at the same time. Red velvet is, in general, the poor man’s chocolate. It’s either just satisfying enough or terrible. And yet, red velvet is all the rage now. Looking up and down the Easter candy aisle, there are so many more red velvet-flavored treats, including these eggs, some chocolate bunnies, and other chocolate treats. Not a fan.

How fun! I have never heard of these candies. But then again. I like to stick to the old favorites, like the hollow chocolate Easter bunny. Perhaps next you could compare the merits of hollow versus solid or crispy chocolate bunnies? All those chocolate eggs are fun but you’ve got to have a bunny in the basket on Easter morning!
This is the best thing I’ve seen since … a bunny pooping jelly beans.
Is there a difference between wedding cake and cake batter when it comes to flavor? Either way, I can’t see them working well with a chocolate bunny. I’ll have to pick up some of the edible grass!
This website is truly a great resource for cookers and bakers. From appetizers, entrees, and desserts to various holiday themed recipes and articles, the fun is found in exploring the site as well as finding great recipe ideas. Upon entering the site, I immediately went to the Easter section since Easter is only two days away. I’m so glad I did, too, because this article and video are hilarious. This cute and investigative article will keep readers going through the website looking for fun content like this rather than just typing in the search bar what recipe they are looking for and then leaving when they’ve finished using it.
I tend to stick to more traditional favorites when it comes to Easter candy. I’ve seen so many red velvet flavored candies around, but I’ve been wary to try them! I guess it was good to wait it out!
