Candy!  What kind of Candy?  Pastel Candy!<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nPastel candy number one: The jellybean!  These are the easiest ones to identify, since they&#8217;re the smallest.  They&#8217;re also the most diversely flavored.  Pastel orange tastes like mango; pastel pinkish could be strawberry, cotton candy or red raspberry depending on precisely what shade of pink; pastel green is watermelon; yellow is banana; blue is blueberry and white is pi?a colada.  Generally, they taste ok.  I&#8217;m not a coconut fan so I&#8217;ve avoided the colada-bean.<\/p>\n<p>Numbers Two and Three are the chocolate eggs.  We&#8217;ve got two varieties, Hersheys and Cadbury.  The Cadbury has better chocolate, but I prefer the Hershey candy shell&#8230; After you&#8217;ve had a couple of the Cadbury eggs, you start to notice a kind of chalky taste from the shell.  You can tell them apart visually by their texture.  The Cadbury ones have a matte finish while the Hersheys are semi-glossy.<\/p>\n<p>The Fourth and final ingredient are the pastel Reeses Peanut Butter eggs.  They have the same glossy finish as the Hershey eggs, but they&#8217;re irregularly shaped.  As for flavor, they&#8217;re pretty much the same as Reeses Pieces, just on a grand scale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ok, so what&#8217;s in the basket we&#8217;re sending off?
