When I think of Easter I think of candy. Chocolate bunnies, candy-filled Easter eggs, and baskets overflowing with treats of all shapes and sizes. While that sounds heavenly to the kid in me the adult version of me knows that it isn’t the healthiest option. A nice balance of candy and non-candy items makes for a fantastic Easter basket.
