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?

How many calories in your Easter candy?
A few weeks ago my son and I went to the store and bought his Easter basket. It's huge. Seriously huge. If I filled it only with candy I think he could have a constant sugar high that would carry him until next Easter. To buffer out the sugary treats I've bought a lot of non-candy items to fill his basket including a game, a jump rope, sunglasses, and a new water bottle. But he is going to get his fair share of goodies. So how many calories are lurking in a chocolate bunny? Here are some guidelines:- 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
