Easter Thrills

Easter hops in exceptionally late this year on Sunday, April 24th. For those of you who enjoy the traditional celebrations of Spring, Jackie has stocked us brimming over with treats for young and old to help celebrate the occasion.

From one of our favorites chocolatiers South Bend Chocolate Company our very first treat is Bunny Crunch and Easter Pretzels. Bunny Crunch Popcorn is a seriously delicious holiday treat that kids of all ages will devour with delight. This mouth-watering blend of caramel corn, chocolate and amaretto-flavored almonds will have your Easter guests grinning from ear to ear.

Religious Interlude
Did you know? Within the Catholic church, pretzels were
regarded as having religious significance for both
ingredients and shape. Pretzels made with a
simple recipe using only flour and water could be
eaten during Lent, when Christians were forbidden to eat eggs, lard, or dairy products such as milk and butter. As time passed, pretzels became associated with both Lent and Easter. Pretzels were hidden on Easter morning just as eggs are hidden today, and are particularly associated with Lent, fasting, and prayers before Easter. I'm not sure that the monks in France or Italy who supposedly first created pretzels had in mind how truly delightful this tradition could become. South Bend Chocolates share there tradition with the perfection of this confection - The perfect combination of salty and sweet, these mini pretzels covered in white and pink chocolate are sure to satisfy your snack craving.

I'm afraid that we're only getting started at this point. Additional Easter treats include:

Milk Chocolate Fudge Eggs
Made from small-batch chocolate fudge and immediately coated in a generous layer of your choice of creamy Milk Chocolate.

Milk Chocolate Caramel Eggs
Made from small-batch creamy caramel and immediately coated in a generous layer of your choice of creamy Milk Chocolate.

Bissinger's Chocolates adds to the celebration:

Foil Carrots
Perk up Easter baskets with these solid, all-natural milk chocolate carrots.

Bunny Ears
Facts show that the majority of people nibble away on the ears of a chocolate bunny first. Indulge in the best part—Bissinger's style: great tasting, solid chocolate
that is 100% all-natural.

Temptation is Hard to Overcome
Long Grove Confectionary brings us:

Milk Chocolate Bunnies and Baby Bunnies

Speckled Truffle Eggs
handcrafted chocolate truffle centers enrobed in natural pink or purple speckled white chocolate.

Easter Coconut Nests
A crunchy mixture of coconut, jelly beans and rich milk chocolate or creamy white.

Best of All
Let Sun Singer create the Perfect Easter Basket filled with all this fun. But remember with Easter on the late side all these treats are disappearing fast so get yours now before they're gone. Happy Easter from all the staff at Sun Singer!
