In my recollection, Easter baskets' contents usually ended up being pretty disappointing! Even the chocolate eggs were often filled with what I considered yucky marshmallow.

I would take out any licorice jelly beans or those eggs that had the texture of circus peanuts and give them to Mom.

My favorite candy was my large hollow white chocolate bunny, my second fav Russell Stover's Jelly Bird coconut egg nests!

And we also always got a book and something extra that was hidden someplace in the house. The clues were in the eggs. One year I got the Barbie Fashion Designer kit, another year a Jon Gnagy drawing set.
