Thank you to all that entered the 1000 post/sale celebration. I loved reading all your comments about the Easter candy you liked least.
Okay, drum-roll please.....names are in the hat..eeerr... enamel bowl.
The winner is ELLEN. She is not a fan of Cadbury eggs.
I decided to draw a second name for a smaller prize. That would be YVONNE who does not like cheap chocolate bunnies.
Congratulations girls! I will be contacting you for your addresses and getting Easter goodies off to you (or leave me a comment so I can contact you).
And as for all that dreaded Easter candy....I tallied up the results and the clear winner for the most despised candy is PEEPS. I did like the comment that one reader liked Peeps, but not the eyeballs and picked them off.
Followed by Cadbury Eggs. It was fairly close between these two. The filling was often mentioned in the dislike of this treat.
Third place were those hard candy eggs with a marshmallow center. I found them in the candy aisle and they are called Hide And Seek eggs. I remember liking them as a kid. I tried one and they are nasty. I don't know why they say that they have a marshmallow filling as the filling is no where close to a marshmallow texture.
Honorable mention. Candies that got a few votes were jelly beans (especially in specific flavors), black jelly beans and cheap hollow chocolate bunnies. There were a few other candies mentioned, but most did not have multiple votes.
Thank you again to all that entered. I hope you follow me along for the next 1000 posts. I cerainly have enjoyed the first 1000! Congrats to ELLEN and YVONNE!
Happy Day.
Congrats to the winners. Interesting candy results too. Guess I'm the token weird-o as I like Peeps!

What lucky ladies to win your wonderful prizes! How funny about all the disliked candy. Didn't know that so many people can't stand PEEPS. I had forgotten all about those hard eggs with marshmallows in them. I too loved them as a child, hmmmmm I wonder how my adult self would like them now. Guess I need to try and locate some and see :) Have a great night and thanks for a fun give away, Holly
ps I will definitely be around for your next 1000 posts!

Congrats to the winners! Well done!
Are the only Cadbury eggs they sell in America the Creme ones? Because cadbury's regular chocolate eggs, cherry ripe eggs, crunchie eggs and basically all their other chocolate is absolutely delicious! In Australia it's the most popular brand of chocolate there is :) I will admit that I love their Creme eggs too, but I have an incredibly sweet tooth and know heaps of people even here who think they're too sickly-sweet!

Hilarious! I totally forgot about those colored eggs with the un-marshmallow filling until you showed them. Easter candy is like tradition; I buy the same thing almost every year! Easter Peanut m&m's, Starburst Jelly Beans and....drum roll: PEEPS which must go thru the crucial drying period first!

Congratulations to the winners! I am happy to hear that I am not alone in my dislike of those nasty creme eggs.

LOL I'm eating PINK PEEPS as I type this! Love them! I'm a candy-aholic though. I loved finding my Cadbury Egg in by basket when I was little. But I want to talk about your third place winner...the hard candy egg with the wierd white center! My sister and I LOVE these! Brachs calls them Basket Eggs, but we haven't been able to find them this year or last. I was worried that they stopped making them! So I was excited to see that you found some. It's so funny to me that everyone dislikes Easter Candy so much!
Happy for your winners! They'll love receiving something from you!
Erica :)

Loved this post idea. So funny!
An old girl scout trick for those who hate peeps ... save them for the summer and toast them over the fire. The sugar caramelizes and their over sugary quality is redeemed :0) Also excellent as a s'mores filling.

Well I'm sad I didn't win this awesome giveaway but it was fun to see the least liked candies. I was saddened by all the hate on black jelly beans, those were my favorites! I was a weird kid.

I received the package filled with wonderful vintage Easter goodies. What a treat, thank you. I will set them out tomorrow. Bye the way, I like Peeps! I saw some adorable Gingerbread Man Peeps this Christmas.
