- Cadbury eggs were out, as they just looked nasty as all &!$%
- Jelly beans were out, as I always seemed to get stuck with the black ones, which tasted nasty as all &!$%

I would have happily pledged my life to ridding the world of these noxious items, but I discovered a Starburst jelly beans several years back, and they are SOOOOOOO yummy that I've forgiven all other Easter candy for existing! And a few years later, when I discovered that the black Starburst jelly beans were grape and not &!$%-flavored, I was even more happy!!!!!

But then I moved to Dubai, where I haven't seen any Starburst jelly beans in 3 different Easter seasons, so I am sad. But at least I haven't seen any nasty Cadbury eggs around either (though in fairness, I haven't looked), so perhaps it's a wash.

So with that randomness aside, let me ask, what are your fav/ least fav Easter treats?
Have you asked anyone to send Starburst jelly beans to you?

I love the Cadbury mini eggs--not the creme eggs.
