S’more please! Stuff those Easter baskets with bunny- and egg-shaped s’mores created with store-made vanilla marshmallows and graham crackers, fastened with a layer of chocolate. While you’re there, you can pick up bunny- and chick-shaped vanilla marshmallows or sparkle cookies.

We’ve written about Imagine Candy in the past, and it’s not hard to imagine (groan) the variety of treats you can choose for Easter. This year they’ll have chocolate bunnies in all sizes, hand-painted chocolate eggs, Belgian chocolate pretzels and chocolate cross boxes filled with M&Ms, among other cavity-inducing goodness.
