I just got back from the supermarket.  The check-out counter was overflowing with Easter candy.  It took all the willpower and want power I could muster not to buy one or two or ten Cadbury eggs not to mention the marshmallow peeps, chocolate bunnies and jellybeans, but I made way past it all, fruit in hand.

It occurred to me that using Easter as ‘a special occasion excuse’ to eat  is a sure fired way to stay fat!!!

Just for the thrill of it when I got home, I did a bit of research.
If you are curious to know just how many calories are in your Easter basket, read on!
(You want to know, don’t you?)

Here follows an EASTER Calorie Guide for you!

1 Creme Cadbury Egg / 170 calories
1 Caramel Cadbury Egg / 190 calories
25 jellybeans / 140 calories
5 peeps / 160 calories

1 (one oz) chocolate bunny / 140 calories
1 medium hollow chocolate bunny (1 3/4 oz) / 260 calories
