Thoughts on Thursday...

There are so many different kinds of Easter candy in the world. However, there are some that are always in my daughters' Easter baskets...no matter what their age.

Yummy Cadbury Eggs (hey, who bit that one?)...I think these are always in their baskets, because they're my absolute favorite!!

Peeps are definitely in their baskets...not to eat, but to puff up in the microwave. I know this sounds crazy. We've been doing it since they were little. Just a funny little game to watch them blow up like balloons. LOL !!

Did you know just a few seconds (I think 10 or so seconds) in the microwave...depending on your microwave...will puff up these little cuties and then they shrink down to nothing. Don't go too long, may brown too much, smell burned and glue itself to the plate like hardened sugar!! This is experience talking. 

Don't let the kids do this though...adults only! The sugar can get hot. No eating after.

Great memories of 2 little girls laughing so hard as the peeps rise up in the microwave. They are 19 and 20 and we still do this! It's a tradition now.

Other must haves in the basket...

• Russell Stover's solid bunnies...one milk chocolate and one crispy
• hollow chocolate bunnies so they can bite off the ears and see inside
• peanut butter eggs
• Easter M&Ms

Not so many toys any more, now that they are in college, but I still add something fun just for old time sake.

What's always in your Easter Baskets?
