Can anyone please tell me why eating candy that is in the shape of the holiday is so tempting and so much better than the regular thing?
Example: Why is eating a sugar cookie in the shape of a chick, egg, or flower so good? I would give anything to eat one this very second. But at the same time if you put just a regular round sugar cookie it wouldn't be as tempting?!
Another prime example: I am addicted to eating these when they are eggs, trees, pumpkins, etc. Yet I would never walk in and buy a regular reese's peanut butter cup ever? I just crave these when they are made into shapes.Another great example: Cinnamon bunnies?! I just don't get it! Luckily there is not another holiday with candy associated to it for a long time......What is a gal to do?

My philosophy is that I am burning THOUSANDS of calories nursing! So I say, indulge! Forget the diet, just love what you eat and love that you can burn a lot off! :)
Amen! Easter has the best candy of the year. Not a good thing that swimsuit season is right around the corner! But eat up...you only live once!
I don't know why, but I agree. Easter candy is by far the best.
I know, I know... The temptation with Reese's Easter eggs is the ratio of peanut butter to chocolate. There is way more peanut butter in an egg shaped Reese's then there is in a regular one. Making them taste a whole lot better! I'm just glad that I am not the only one who enjoys them a little too much:)
That's hilarious!! I so agree! I was just at my nephew's birthday party this weekend and I wanted seconds on his cake...not because I was hungry, but because it was shaped like a car! Weird? I know, but I couldn't help it! It's so much more inviting when it's shape like something not eatable...yet you CAN eat it.
Those peanut butter eggs are the worst! I mean, they are the best, but they are sooo bad! lol! And the mini eggs...great you got me started. At least they aren't in the stores anymore.
