Dear Food Lover,

Easter falls on March 23rd this year--the earliest it's been in nearly 150 years! Are you ready for the celebration?

When it comes to Easter candy, we've picked out a little bit of everything for the holiday: for filling the baskets, Easter egg hunts, and after-dinner treats.

If you've ever ordered our adorable holiday baskets, you've no doubt enjoyed a Long Grove confection. We've chosen Long Grove and several of their creations to be the focus of our first article.

Our second feature is the most recognized Easter candy of them all: the jelly bean. And the best tasting jelly bean of them all would have to be Jelly Belly. It's true, we all have our favorite flavor (often many more), but what makes them so good that we crave them even when it's not Easter? Read the second article to find out.

Our last article is dedicated to the die-hard chocolate lovers, those who demand rich, luscious chocolate at any holiday, at any time. Click here to read about Godiva chocolate's Easter Bunny and Easter Egg Tote. They're perfect gifts for kids--if you can stop yourself from indulging in them first!

All the best for a happy Easter!
