Okay.. I voted other as in all the above... Hee, hee... Any holiday that I can get those chocolate covered marshmallow eggs/hearts/Santas I'm a happy camper!

As a side note... when did they change the flavor of the conversation hearts? I'm use to the Necco ones and today I opened up a box for kiddo and they were softer than I remember had were tart.. they didn't say tart on the box.

I dont like chocolate and that seems to be the center for most of the holidays. My favorites are sour candies and cinnamon....so any time that I can get those Im happy. Most likely I guess Id say Halloween because they do have alot of those at that time. The other holidays have to much chocolate.

I usually buy 3 or 4 bags and hoard them for several months. I love them so much it doesn't creep me out that I'm eating candy that is that old, lolol. In college, one of my bff's nick-named them "candy coated o.r.g.a.s.m.s."

All of the above, because Seasonally shaped Reese's are the best. Although I do like the extra caramel in the Milky Way Bunnies' bellies.

I'm not a sweets/chocolate kinda girls, but I love cinnamon hearts (Valentine's Day) and I always receive a box of After Eights (mint chocolate) for Christmas. Those are my favourite and I also eat one or two Cadbury Cream Eggs each year.

Okay - I voted other because while I LOVE Cadbury Creme Eggs (mmmm...creamy filling!), my favorite is Reese's. It used to be Reese's eggs, but now they make them for practically every holiday so I am pretty much always happy! There's just something about that thinner layer of chocolate than the regular pb cups that just makes them soooooo yummy!!

I don't know but over here I'm under the impression it's during Christmas, lol Not too big on Halloween. The next best would probably be Easter

I'm pretty sure my kids would say Halloween after their last stash last year. I love Easter, getting all the eggs for the kids and setting up egg hunts is so much fun! - But that's all for the kids...

My favourite is probably Christmas, we have wrapped sweets it enjoy at will and all the yummy Christmas treats that we make make it all the more sweeter. I guess they're all pretty good - any excuse really

I love Halloween - mainly because of Candy Corn

though I don't think I've ever had Mini Cadbury Eggs - must try to find some this Easter!

Agreed. 'Nuff said.

PS and Reece's PB Eggs. The eggs are the best- better than hearts @ v-day, trees @ Christmas and the regular ol' ones everyday.

Easter. Hands down. I love the caramel cadbury eggs, the cadbury mini eggs, reeses eggs, and russel stover birds nests. I don't eat the jelly beans though. Yuck.

Of course, I'm not really supposed to eat any of it...but....who can resist???

Easter.
Jelly Beans--starburst or jolly rancher flavors are best. But I'll take any of it.

I have to say christmas, because in Germany we have tons of special sweets and cookies for the season. And I just love all the cinnamon and other spices.

I am currently spreading the addiction. My BF is Nothern Irish and as we spent last holiday there, I brought a lot of christmas sweets/cookies as my gift for his family. They are already hooked on chocolate covered brittle eggs and "Vanille Kipferl".

Perhaps I shouldn't say this for fear of being mobbed - but we have Cadburys mini eggs all year round over here and I've been eating cadburys cream eggs since before Christmas and we can get the bars of cream egg chocolate all year round too.

So is it the cadburys chocolate that you all like then? Cos that's the only chocolate I eat over here ... I love chocolate but at Christmas I had a Hershey bar in my stocking and it wasn't like english chocolate at all

I voted Easter only because I love those Reeses peanut butter eggs and even though they have made them for other holidays, they aren't as good as the Easter ones.

I get a feeling, you'd all love living in Germany. Because we do filled chocolate eggs for christmas, too. They are round and called christmas balls, but same principle. Here an example, but you get ALL sorts of fillings.
