Poorman's Jelly Beans


I like Starburst and other jelly beans, too, but Brach’s are my favorite.

I’ve also never met a Reese’s, Snicker’s, Kit Kat or Twix that I didn’t like, but I’d rather gorge on the things that aren’t available year round.

Once upon a time, our local bakery had ginormous chocolate easter eggs, like sixteen inches high and a foot wide and they would write the child's name on it for Easter.
We walked past that bakery every day in elementary school and middle school, so we all wanted those eggs with our names on it.
Finally one Easter, I got one.
I was totally shocked to find that the egg was hollow. And it wasn't particularly good chocolate.

I have never had or seen or heard of Elmers Gold Brick egg.

After reading the replies, I need to try one.

Why have I've never heard of these? Is this a Louisiana thing?

I didn't always eat that chocolate bunny right away, but I enjoyed it over the next few days after Easter whenever the other easier stuff to eat was just about gone.

Cadbury’s new gumbo flavored crème eggs are outstanding. , but good luck finding them. They’re way better than the boudin Peeps.

Confirmed. Heavenly Hash by two lengths.

They’re made by Elmer’s Chocolate in Ponchatoula, LA. You can definitely order them on Amazon. Elmer’s also makes Pecan eggs (sweet nougat and pecans) and Heavenly Hash (chocolate covered marshmallow) in milk and dark chocolate. Gold Brick eggs are just chocolate and pecan pieces. Elmer’s wasn’t a thing in our Easter Baskets growing up- I just discovered them in the past few years, and I have definitely been missing out

Brachs made good malted milk eggs last year and I was disappointed I didn't find them selling them this year.

Those were so good! I usually don’t like super sugary stuff, but these were my exception.

I think a distinction needs to be made between the Reese’s PB egg with the white cardboard rounded front flat on back and the Reese’s PB eggs shaped like real eggs wrapped in foil.

The foil wrapped eggs are my favorite. Replaced Cadbury crème eggs as my favorite Easter candy

Robin Eggs. Yeah I know they're basically whoppers but the shell kicks them up to whole other level.
