If you participated in the Easter holiday, it’s likely that chocolate, jelly beans and other pastel-colored candies have found their way into your cupboards and easter baskets.
To a child, there are few things as exciting as a holiday that promises baskets of candy, but it’s important for adults to remember that moderation is a virtue.
If you’ve ever wondered just how much candy Americans consume over the Easter holiday, this infographic has all the sinfully-delicious details.

I try to live by that everyday :)
Interesting!
Mmm, nice. Thanks very much!
Great ideas; always a struggle in the morning to come up with something (Vegan) - so resort to grain…
Thanks.

+ add your owni love quality chocolate and although i do not celebrate Easter, i do receive chocolate from Christian friends which usually i pass on to others. I miss the Easter home-made ricotta tarts and breads my mother used to make during my childhood.
I thought Valentines day would be more
Of course we do ,,,, but it's nice..
Candy is not my temptation so I don't buy any candy for Easter. I only buy candy for trick or treaters for Halloween.
Chocolate is available all year round but easter eggs taste amazing - not sure if it is because they are wrapped in foil or that they are fresher - but they a delicious and magical!!! Maybe it's the kid in me....
I love chocolate and easter!!! I stash cadbury solid little eggs away by the packets so I have them at will till next year....Yum!
Noted..
Easter for me, is not about bunnies and candy.
im a total chocoholic so even though i dont celebrate easter, its still a gd excuse 2 buy a few eggs....which i always devour .....but yeah, i think we go mad dont we....and moderation always seems 2 take a back seat when it comes 2 easter....i think people just use it for a time to pig out ....its definitely more a time for kids though...thanks for sharing
Thanks for the info
