Spring is in the air and kids are getting

chocolate Easter eggs, an “egg-mazing”
Easter CandyCare Pack, the ultimate
bacon and egg, an Easter Surprise Bash
Egg, and new and traditional favorites.
Check out these unique and ultimate
candy ideas from some of our favorite
NYC candy stores!
Li-Lac Chocolates is Manhattan’s
oldest chocolate house and one of
our forever favorites. They have an
amazing assortment of gourmet
chocolates and specialty gifts for
Easter and made in Brooklyn. The
signature items that are best sellers
for Easter include their VintageChocolate
Easter Eggs, Chocolate-Filled
Eggs, Sitting Rabbit, and Chocolate
Easter Baskets. Their Vintage Chocolate
Easter Eggs are a favorite Li-Lac
tradition dating back to the 1920s
and with very good reason. Each
“Egg” is an edible chocolate shell
that opens to reveal an assortment
of decadent, chocolate-filled squares
and Easter Nonpareils with fillings
like caramel, mousse, marzipan,
hazelnut truffle and more. Each
“Egg” is carefully wrapped in colorful
Easter foils and tied with festive
bows. It is egg-traordinary!

also a bunny bucket that is super
cute and filled with a collection of
Easter candy favorites and the Chick

chocolate foil eggs and tiny gummy
eggs. Our personal favorite is their
Bacon & Egg: a large gold egg, filled
with chocolate foil eggs & a tiny chick
and served with a side of Blingy 23kt
Gold chocolate covered bacon! It’s an
egg-travagant and unique gift that is
sure to be delicious!
Dylan’s Candy Bar has a great
Easter collection and our favorites
are the tackle boxes and kebobs
along with the Easter Surprise
BashEgg! The Hippity Hoppity
Tackle Box is for “anybunny” looking
for a little bit of everything! The
mix of chocolatey, fruity, crunchy,
and sour treats has us hopping for
joy and when the candy is gone
you can reuse Dylan’s iconic box.
The Cracking Up Kebob got a sweet
twist with festive jelly candies and
fluffy marshmallow toppers. Use it
for table decor, gift toppers, Easter
baskets, and more! The Easter Surprise
BashEgg is a tabletop piñata
made of milk chocolate and filled
with mini milk chocolate covered
pretzels and jelly beans. Put it in an
indulgent Easter basket or use as an
egg hunt grand prize!
