The Shape of Easter Candy

Since I expect to have some children here for Easter, I decided to have some candy for them. Today I went to the store to purchase it.  What I surprise I had.  I haven't been buying Easter basket candy for a number of years now.  The special candy shelves were crammed with the most unusual shapes and kinds of Easter candies.  Along with traditional peeps and jelly beans there were many entirely new forms of candies. 

I remember when I first saw Cadbury eggs advertised.  It was on Canadian TV and we couldn't buy them here in US.  I thought they looked wonderful and when they became available to us a couple of years later, I eagerly bought some, and I wasn't disappointed.  Now Cadbury has several different sizes and flavors of eggs for sale, and many of the other candy companies have their kinds of eggs for sale, too.  Well, you can't copyright an idea.  They are all a little different while they all have distinct similarities.

I didn't buy very much candy.  It was all very confusing to me.  If you're not a parent of young kids, or have young kids in your home often, you just don't realize what is the "going" trend today, not even in candy.
