Easter is one of my favorite times of year—and not just because of the pastel colors, warmer weather, and the promise of spring (though those are great too). For our family, Easter candy is a full-blown event, and we take it very seriously. Whether you’re prepping baskets for your kids, treating yourself to a little indulgence, or stocking up for your annual Easter egg hunt, you want the best Easter candy—and lucky for you, I’ve got the inside scoop.
This year, Easter falls on April 20, which means it’s coming up fast. If you haven’t started ordering your favorites, now is the time—especially because I’ve got discount codes to help you save at our two go-to candy spots: Mrs. Cavanaugh’s and Jolley’s Gifts & Candy.
🍫 Mrs. Cavanaugh’s: Personalized Perfection in Every Bite
Let’s start with the chocolate gold standard—Mrs. Cavanaugh’s. If you know, you know. This place makes the creamiest, dreamiest chocolate we’ve ever had. It’s a local Utah gem that’s now shipping nationwide (which is dangerous in the best way).
But our very favorite Easter tradition? Their Personalized Chocolate Easter Eggs. I’m talking about giant chocolate eggs (caramel, chocolate truffle, peanut butter, marshmallow—take your pick) with your name piped on top in beautiful frosting. We order one for each of our kids every year, and they light up when they see their names on them. It makes the candy feel special—and let’s be honest, it buys me serious dad points.
Mrs. Cavanaugh’s Easter Must-Haves:
- Personalized Chocolate Easter Eggs (seriously, order these!)
- Chocolate Bunny Pops (perfect for baskets)
- Caramel and Nut-filled Chocolate Eggs
- Peanut Butter Bunnies
👉 Order yours here and use my discount code at checkout (MOD5) to save! Just don’t wait—they tend to sell out the closer we get to Easter. This code is only good until April 20, so do not wait!
🍬 Jolley’s: The Hidden Gem for Every Kind of Candy Lover
If Mrs. Cavanaugh’s is for the chocolate purists, Jolley’s Gifts & Candy is for the rest of us who love variety, nostalgia, and a little bit of everything. Jolley’s has been one of our family’s go-to candy shops for years. And when it comes to holiday treats, they absolutely bring their A-game.
Whether you’re stuffing baskets, prepping for the neighborhood egg hunt, or just looking for a sweet stash to sneak from your pantry (I won’t judge), Jolley’s has the goods.
Here are a few of my favorite Easter finds this year:
Top Picks from Jolley’s:
- Caramel Robin Eggs – sweet, chewy centers with a crunchy shell. Addictive.
- Spring Malt Balls – Easter classic with a pastel twist.
- Rainbow Bites – fruity, chewy, and fun for the whole family.
- Swedish Marshmallow Cones – I’m calling it now: these are going to be your new favorite. Soft, sweet, and unlike anything you’ve had before.
