Easter is one of our favorite holidays. There’s the egg decorating (super creative), the family dinner (super yummy) and, of course, lots of chocolate bunnies (just plain super!). But did you know:

  • 90 million chocolate bunnies are made for Easter each year.
  • Five million marshmallow chicks and bunnies are produced every day to get ready for Easter.
  • 16 billion jelly beans are made for Easter (that’s enough to completely fill an 89 feet high and 60 feet wide plastic Easter egg – about the height of a nine-story office building!)
  • The world’s largest jar of jelly beans weighed 6,050 pounds
  • According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the largest Easter egg ever made was just over 25-ft high and made of chocolate and marshmallow. The egg weighed almost 9,000 pounds!

Please forgive me if this post made you crave some chocolate bunny ears (78% of people bite off the ears first). But after the egg painting and the Easter feast, chocolate bunnies, marshmallow chicks and jelly beans are my favorite thing about the holiday!

Your “Hoppy Easter!” Gift Guru,
