Cadbury Eggs vs. Peeps: The Ultimate Easter Candy 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?

Although a seemingly simple question, the answer may never be known. (Perhaps adding Mary Sue Eggs to the question would make it easier to reach an agreement.)

We put the question to Owings Mills-Reisterstown Patch Facebook fans, filled with impassioned Easter candy lovers—and fierce opposers—to weigh in on the debate.

Cadbury Creme Eggs vs. Peeps: Which one is better?

The result: Cadbury wins by a narrow lead.

Here’s what some of the readers had to say:

• Tracy H.— “No contest - Cadbury Creme Eggs.”
• Dave D. — “Neither, they are both gross!”
• Sherry R. — “I’m on team Reeses peanut butter eggs. Both Peeps and Cadbury Eggs are too disgustingly sweet”
• Jessica C. — “Peeps... all day every day!”

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