How Many Calories ... in a chocolate Easter Bunny?

Easter has come and gone, but the candy's still around, at least in my house. There's good and bad news to this: On the plus side, the fact that there's still candy in the house means that I didn't eat it all in one sitting. But the downside? it means that there's still temptation to be resisted, and to potentially get the better of me.

But nothing ruins a good craving like the cold, hard truth. It's a good idea to look into the calorie counts of things you might be tempted because it might help you talk yourself out of eating it when you realize how bad it might be for you. Then again, maybe not. But hey--can't say I didn't try, right?

So here's a question:

How many calories ... in a large chocolate Easter Bunny?
210 cal18 (6.9%)
450 cal56 (21.6%)
780 cal93 (35.9%)
1050 cal92 (35.5%)
Face the facts -- the answer is 1050 calories. Dang! That's a lot of calories for a cutie pie bunny. Do what I do and eat just the ears -- they're the best part.

Want to know some other calories counts? Maggie broke it down for us earlier this week:

  • 1 Cadbury Creme Egg = 170 calories, 6 grams of fat
  • 50 Jelly Bellies = 200 calories, 0 grams of fat
  • Reese's Peanut Butter Egg = 90 calories, 5 grams of fat
  • 2 marshmallow Peeps = 64 calories, 0 grams of fat

Best to rid your house of that Easter candy and be done with it, don't you think?
