What the PEEP?! Peeps Milk Is Easter’s Official Drink

1. Cadbury Crème Eggs

When I think of Easter chocolates, my mind immediately goes to Cadbury Crème Eggs. They’re filled with a gooey fondant that is downright addictive. Once you break through the chocolate shell, you’re faced with a deliciously silky sugar concoction that, for me, feels really nostalgic to snack on since I’d get one in my Easter basket just about every year.

2. Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs

Next up on my (very subjective) ranking of Easter chocolates is none other than Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs! I’ll take Reese’s stunning peanut butter filling in any form I can have it, but the egg shape this treat takes on for Easter just makes it feel even more special.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs totally master the perfect balance of chocolate and peanut butter, which can be a nice departure for my tastebuds from just straight-up chocolate, like the other Easter chocolates on this list. Thus, I’m placing it in the #2 spot.

3. Easter M&M’s

I love me a colorful treat, and I love me some M&M’s – which is why the Easter M&M’s that come in the cutest pastels every April simply had to place somewhere this ranking.

Though I don’t view these as the most show-stopping Easter chocolates (they’re quite literally the same as the regular M&M’s you can get year-round in flavor and form), they’re still a festive treat worth snagging from the store. By themselves, I have to put them in the #3 spot – though I’d consider granting more points if you give ‘em to me on top of a slice of Easter cake.

5. Chocolate Bunnies

I don't mean to be the Scrooge of Easter, but at this point, chocolate bunnies are so expected. I have eaten many in my lifetime, but they never truly blow me away. Don’t get me wrong: I still love chocolate, but there’s also something that feels so wrong when I bite off the bunny’s ears. And face. And body.

It’s true – Trader Joe’s Chocolate Mousse Eggs have officially arrived! Each egg-shaped treat boasts layers of “velvety” chocolate cake alongside a “silky” chocolate mousse that makes each bite so delicious. What’s more is each egg is adorably decorated with pink and green accents that make ‘em perfect for springtime snackin’.

This returning TJ’s dessert is just one of their tasty, mousse-y offerings. Trader Joe’s tends to release mousse cakes on a seasonal basis, and shoppers always love them. They’ve launched raspberry ones, pumpkin-shaped ones, floral ones, and even a big heart-shaped mousse cake for Valentine's Day!

One Trader Joe’s fan on Reddit verified that the new Chocolate Mousse Eggs are “so delicious.” Their warning to other sweet tooths? “Run, don’t walk, to get your hands on the Chocolate Mousse Eggs!”

“They're great!” another user agreed. “They remind me of Hostess in a very good way.”

“These are dangerous,” one more person commented.”Just got home and I ate 2 already. I both love and hate you for posting.”

Trader Joe’s fan account @traderjoesobsessedshared the new find with their Instagram followers, saying they’re “so delicious and the perfect size.” They also noted that the chocolatey eggs freeze well: “I put them into 2 zip lock bags and save them for Easter.“

The new Chocolate Mousse Eggs come in a pack of 6 for $3.99. The pack features three different decorative designs, perfect for putting out on your Easter charcuterie board or dessert table this year!

You’re definitely going to want to grab several packs to munch on before the big day’s here, though. Plus, the Chocolate Mousse Eggs are a seasonal, limited-time item, so they’ll likely be gone before you know it! Again – run, don’t walk.

1. Swap Sour Cream for Greek Yogurt

Get that creamy tang without the extra fat. Greek yogurt is packed with protein, lower in calories, and often contains probiotics, which are great for your gut health. Greek yogurt is delicious in dips, dressings, or even dolloped on tacos or (my favorite) grilled salmon.

2. Use Olive Oil Instead of Butter

For sautéing or drizzling, EVOO adds heart-healthy fats and antioxidants. It’s a flavorful upgrade that also supports better cholesterol levels than butter. Just make sure to cook it at a lower heat, under 430 degrees is recommended.

3. Choose Whole Grains Over Refined

Trade white rice or pasta for brown rice, quinoa, or whole wheat pasta. Whole grains are higher in fiber — and the secret to a healthy Mediterraneandiet — keeping you fuller longer and supporting digestive health. Cauliflower rice and spaghetti squash are also healthy alternatives to white rice and pasta and you get the added bonus of an extra veggie in your meal.

4. Swap Mayo for Avocado

Avocados, an excellent source of healthy unsaturated fats, make a great swap for traditional mayo in baking and preparing your favorite sandwich. Avocado oil mayo is also a healthy alternative and you'll taste nearly no difference.

5. Add Veggies to Everything

I shred cauliflower or carrots into my daughter's pancakes to give an extra nutrient boost. Sneak in shredded zucchini, spinach, or cauliflower rice into sauces, casseroles, or even baked goods. Swap hearty mushrooms, beets or eggplant for burgers too. It’s a simple way to eat more fiber and vitamins without changing the dish, or taste, too much.
