With Easter approaching, it’s time to make your candy game plan—whether you’re putting together an adorable Easter basket for or simply want to treat yourself and whoever you cohabitate with to a bowl of chocolates, gummies, or general sweets.

Hopefully you’ve already got yourself some fun outdoor Easter decorations, an egg decorating kit, and maybe a gift or two for yourself, so now’s the time to focus on Easter treats. From plastic eggs filled with a wide array of sweets to those made of solid chocolate to candies in fun seasonal shapes such as chicks and bunnies, a basket full of candy is central to Easter gifting. We’ve even found some non-candy treats, for those whose sweet tooth isn’t quite as strong. With so many options for Easter snacks, you can be sure there’s something for everybody, and every-bunny, in your life this year.
