SOUTHAMPTON, PA - APRIL 18: Marshmallow Peeps are seen on display at McCaffrey's Supermarket April 18, 2003 in Southampton, Pennsylvania. Just Born, the manufacturer of Marshmallow Peeps, is celebrating the 50th anniversary of Marshmallow Peeps, and now produces more than one billion individual Peeps per year. Last Easter, more than 700 million Marshmallow Peeps and Bunnies were consumed by men, women, and children throughout the United States. Strange things people like to do with Marshmallow Peeps: eat them stale, microwave them, freeze them, roast them and use them as a pizza topping. Marshmallow Peeps and Bunnies come in five colors.

We have covered the best Easter candy of 2021, but what about the worst Easter candy? And yes, Peeps is on the list. Let the countdown begin.

What is your favorite Easter candy? Egg-shaped chocolates and bunny-shaped treats are Easter icons! You can’t have a complete Easter basket without one of these. However, it’s fun to change change it up.

This is why we created a list of the most unique candies to add to your Easter basket this year. This list, though, is different. Because don’t we all want to know what the worst Easter candies are?

Oddly enough, Peeps also made it to the most popular Easter candies list. So which is it? Do people hate or love Peeps? We may never know. People either love them or not, there seems to be no in between. Where do you stand when it comes to Peeps?

The worst Easter candy you can buy

At the top of the list are Lindt Chocolate Carrots, but these aren’t very popular, so let’s dig into the list, put together by Candy Store, and see which are the worst candies of the season.

  1.  Cadbury Creme Eggs
  2. Sour Patch White Chocolate Bunny
  3. Solid Chocolate Bunnies
  4. Cheetos Cinnamon Puffs
  5. Oreo Eggs
  6. Peeps
  7. Bunny Corn
  8. Chicks & Rabbits
  9. Chocolate Crosses
  10. Jelly Beans

Okay, what an odd list. We have some issues with it…

First of all, WHO makes Chocolate Crosses? Just. No. And why are Cheetos Cinnamon Puffs even on this list? It doesn’t qualify as candy, so we’ll ignore it. Finally, why are people hating on Oreo Eggs?

I do agree with Sour Patch White Chocolate Bunny, though. Bunny corn, as well, and Cadbury Creme Eggs are way overrated — it’s a no from me.

How do you feel about the list? What would you add or remove from the list?
