10 Most Popular Candies to Find in Easter Eggs

It’s not Easter without kids finding a basket filled with yummy chocolates and candies. Thanks to plastic Easter eggs, your children can get another surprise thanks to the candy inside! N.E.T. Egg showcases the 10 most popular candies to find in Easter eggs after the Easter bunny hops on through.

1. Nerds

Nerds come in little boxes, so they’re perfect for fitting inside plastic Easter eggs. Even better, Nerds aren’t chocolate and have a lesser chance of melting in the warm sun.

2. Jellybeans

Jellybeans are an Easter staple, no matter what brand or flavors you prefer. Place a small handful, maybe four to six, in each plastic Easter egg. Make sure to vary the flavors or colors. 

3. Tootsie Rolls

Tootsie Rolls are individually wrapped. These bite-sized candies come in their traditional chocolate flavor, but also lime, vanilla, cherry, orange, and lemon. 

4. Hershey’s Kisses

Hershey’s Kisses provide a small bit of chocolate for kiddos. They’re also individually wrapped for convenience. The only difficulty with chocolate candy is that it might melt in a plastic Easter egg.

5. Smarties

Smarties are traditional candies that have a burst of slightly tart flavor. You can find 3 Smarties in a fun-size pack or 20 in a full-size pack. 

6. Skittles

Skittles come in convenient grab-and-go packaging for Halloween and Easter, the two candy-centric holidays of the year. Kids love these sweet, fruity snacks because they come in many flavors, are easy to chew, and just taste so good. 

7. Sweet Tarts

Sweet Tarts come in packs of threes. Each candy is the size of a medicine tablet. They’re hard and crunchy, and you can fit two or three packs in a single Easter egg.

8. Peanut Butter Cups

Kids love peanut butter, especially when it’s combined with chocolate! Small, individually wrapped peanut butter cups fit nicely into Easter eggs for a yummy treat! (Watch out for melting, though.)

9. Mini Eggs

Mini eggs, either chocolate or other flavors, may or may not be wrapped. Chocolate ones are often individually wrapped, but eggshell ones might not be. Consider wrapped candies for Easter eggs so there is less mess to worry about during your egg hunt.

10. Starbursts

You can easily fit three or four Starbursts into our plastic Easter eggs. These square, fruity candies are almost like taffy in their consistency, with sweet and slightly tangy flavors.
