Cadbury Eggs vs. Peeps: The Ultimate Easter Candy Debate

Cadbury or Peeps? Bowie Patch readers weigh in on the age-old Easter debate.

Leave your carrots for the Bunny—Easter is a holiday for the sweet-toothed.

Americans are expected to spend $2.2 billion this year just on Easter candy alone, according to the National Retail Federation.

Among the endless Easter sweets popping up on store shelves, there are two that undoubtedly remain at the top: Cadbury Creme Eggs and Peeps. With Easter soon approaching, we had to revisit the age-old debate: which one is better?

The result: Neither!

Bowie Patch readers think other treats deserve a spot at the top. Here’s what they had to say:

  • Michelle C. — “Neither. Reeses eggs all the way!!”
  • Robin B. — “All peeps are good for is microwave jousting. I prefer the chocolate bunnies.”
  • Penny W. — “Bleh to both! Bring on the peanut butter eggs!”
  • Courtney M. — “Are you kidding? Does anyone really like peeps over Cadbury?”
  • Renee D. — “Peeps. Especially stale peeps.”
  • Level Up Boxing & Fitness — ”We second the Peanut Butter Egg! Some protein helps you feel just a little bit less guilty afterwards.”

Now, which part of the chocolate Easter bunny should be eaten first? We’ll save that debate for next year.
