Today I found inspiration from my Easter basket for this week's scintillating edition of The Saturday Seven: Favorite Easter Candy. Regular readers know that I am a chocolate fanatic..it is one of my personal pleasures, and is synonymous with all major holidays. (Easter wouldn't be Easter, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas, etc). It went back to when I was a little kid, when the local candy shops on the East coast called Fanny Farmer were where my family bought the holiday candy. I can remember being a little kid and going to the Fanny Farmer Candy Shop downtown for an ice cream cone. It was always a special trip for me. Years later when I worked for the Chicago based Fannie May Candy Shops I thought I had died and gone to heaven. I had true reverence for the candy business, and enjoyed the seasonal aspects of each holiday. Easter was no exception. Thus the topic for this week's Saturday Seven: Favorite Easter Candy: 
#3 Jelly Beans- Made with Pectin means they are good for you (really).
#4 Foil Wrapped Milk Chocolate Eggs- so smooth n creamy!
#5 Foil Wrapped Bunnies- For some reason they taste different from the eggs...
#6 Solid Chocolate Rabbits- Dark or Milk Chocolate, you have to bite the ears off first, everybody knows that!
#7 Carmel Pecan Fudge Egg- Its a perfect combination of flavors, and perfect to slice off a piece at a time to savor it.
