This is America's Favorite Chocolate Egg
This Easter egg is no surprise.
Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Eggs
According to several polls, for a few years now, Reese's Mini Peanut Butter Eggs have been the most popular chocolate eggs around the country. Given how popular the chocolate candy is during the rest of the year, this comes as no surprise.
To what can we attribute this popularity? These seasonal Reese's have a higher peanut butter to chocolate ratio, which many people say is their favorite part! Also, because they're so tiny, it's definitely way too easy to finish this candy in the blink of an eye.
Reese's may be unseated soon, however: this is the second year that the European favorite, Kinder Joy Egg, has been available in America. The popular Italian company has modified their original Kinder Surprise Egg—a hollow chocolate egg filled with toys—in order to fit with American safety standards. Instead, the Kinder egg is made of two separately sealed plastic halves. One side is filled with sweet cream and "crispy wafer bites," while the other half contains a toy.
We'll see if this candy catches on with Easter candy enthusiasts!
