Haha, yea it definitely wasn't the best gum in the world (it didn't keep its flavor long at all), but for some reason, I couldn't get enough of it. I think because it was one of those things that I only got once a year, so in some way it was "special." And when I'd ask anyone about it, they never had a clue what I was talking about. I was the cool kid with the unusual gum.

Everyone who doesn't know what a See's Easter basket is, raise your hand...

Me and my brother always got at least one non-candy item in our baskets. I usually received small stuffed animals, 2 of which I still have to this day... one being a Beanie Baby that I got during that whole craze. I also received the book 'The Velveteen Rabbit' one year.

I remember these! I HATED them.


And I know that I'm on the Loves-Cadbury-eggs/Hates-Peeps team, however, the more people post this picture in this thread...

... the more I think that this is just about the worst picture of this product. If I had never had one before, and I saw this, there's no way in hell I'd try it.


ETA: Wow, you really can't find a good picture of this candy that tries to show what it looks like on the inside.

This one really didn't help the eggs' case.




ETA again: Ewwww! Cadbury Creme Egg brulee!

See's Candy can be found out here on the west coast mostly. They were my grandma's favorite chocolates. I love their boxes of nuts & chews. They have small chocolate shops scattered around the coast, but they're also sold at several airports on the west coast. I forgot it's mostly a local thing.

The Easter Bunny always left me and my brother a basket from See's. The centerpiece was a huge chocolate filled egg that would take days to eat. It was a surprise each year which flavor of filling we would get. My favorite was the Rocky Road (nuts, marshmallow and chocolate):



But I also liked the Chocolate Butter filled ones:

I didn't get one in my Easter Basket, but I'd always get one at Halloween.. from the dentists who lived next door. And our neighbors on the other side would take Polaroid pictures of us, which included a Halloween border. So we got to take home toothbrushes, plus a picture of ourselves completely pissed off because we didn't get any candy

My mother & her sisters all modeled at some point, usually a body part like a hand model, eye model, leg model or whatever. She had me pegged for a mouth model. Turned out that I was best at hats, and only a few times. Before you laugh, check out the History Center.




We always had a separate "basket" for a Sarris Meltaway Egg:




I may have to get one for myself, and cut it up!

For the uninitiated: one of the best ways of eating Easter Chocolate is to cut it up into single portions and freeze them. In the middle of a hot summer day, there is NOTHING more yummy than frozen chocolate!

When I was a kid, my sister & I would dye the eggs a day or two before Easter. Every Easter morning we would come downstairs and find our basket of goodies from the Easter bunny, and he always put one of our eggs in there with everything. I never really thought it was strange that the bunny had broken into our refrigerator and stolen our Easter eggs.

It's Peep Jousting season
