'Hoppy' Easter!

Have the Cadbury Mini-Eggs been staring at you in the CVS line TOO!? Easter is another holiday American companies eat up. You name it, it's shaped into an Easter egg or bunny and thrown on the shelves. Reese's peanut butter bunnies, malted eggs, marshmallows (the famous peep). Its another time of the year where sugary temptations face you everywhere you go....

To Peep or not to Peep?

Some candies are better than others this easter "season". Treat yourself on actual EASTER, but no need to splurge on chocolate bunnies all March and April!!

(maybe even take a visual cue from the Bunny and have a carrot or two :)
