Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Important Poll Re Chocolate Easter Bunnies!

[Colleen]

In the grand scheme of things, this is...

...very important, isn't it?:D

For your polling pleasure, you may choose as many options as required.

[Mrs Mungo]

I voted both for breaking out my own bunny (or other chocolate which may or may not be in rodent form) and reminding myself that their bunny is not my bunny.

I currently have quite the stash of extreme-late-night-before-Easter-half-off-chocolate if you are in need of a fix.

[Pencil Pusher]

Yes, Mungo, this is what I was thinking: Chocolate? Of course? Rodent-form? Only if that's all that's left.

Give the dc the rodents. Save the good stuff for after bedtime.

Hm...wonder where dh hides the chocolate?

[CookieMonster]

I don't actually buy chocolate bunnies for my kids.

But I do buy them other candy for their baskets. So I answered in reference to that.

And, yes, it would have been wise of me to just buy my own stash. But, I thought if I didn't that I would then not eat any - because it's my kids candy after all! That didn't work. I still ate some of theirs. Although, I let them have at it first and only ate after they went to bed. And I only took a couple pieces. And I would have eaten much more than that if I had bought myself my own stash.

[Closeacademy]

I checked my usual answer of taking a nibble but right now I am being very good because I have a dress I want to wear this May and I have to lose a few pounds to do so.:001_smile:

[Sophia]

I'm one of the few who do not like chocolate.
Once in a while I'll take a bite, just to see what all the fuss is about, but it's easy to toss it.

There...now you know me :-)

[momofkhm]

It's the candy coated Cadbury eggs all the way!

[Tonia]

:o I help dd eat hers. She has three of them, so I figure she can share (one from us, one from the grandparents and one from her aunt).

[Rhonda in TX]

Now that they are older, and would actually notice, I ask. :lol:

I don't know what it is about that bunny. I always buy the hollow chocolate ones, and they are not really that good, but I HAVE to have some. It must bring back childhood memories.

[Jennifer in MI]

LOL Funny poll!! Yea - if I want candy, I just buy it for myself.

Now, Halloween candy - that's fair game!!! But, in my defense, they get SOOOO much of that, I feel justified in stealing a few pieces!

[Karenciavo]

I don't care for milk chocolate and they don't care for dark chocolate, therefore our twains hardly meet. I qualify that with a hardly because if there is peanut butter and milk chocolate in the basket they're in trouble.

[Doran]

Yes, Mungo, this is what I was thinking: Chocolate? Of course? Rodent-form? Only if that's all that's left.

TIM: That's the most foul, cruel, and bad-tempered rodent you ever set eyes on!

ROBIN: You tit! I soiled my armour I was so scared!

TIM: Look, that rabbit's got a vicious streak a mile wide! It's a killer!

GALAHAD: Get stuffed!

TIM: He'll do you up a treat, mate.

GALAHAD: Oh, yeah?

ROBIN: You mangy Scots git!

TIM: I'm warning you!

ROBIN: What's he do, nibble your bum?

TIM: He's got huge, sharp-- eh-- he can leap about-- look at the bones!

:D


I go for the chocolate without the teeth. The stuff I've ALWAYS got stashed, Easter or not. Perhaps that's why my jeans are a bit snug this morning?

I had to say that I never considered such a thing but that is because we bought them small easter bunnies and they were gone before I had a chance to consider whether or not I wanted to have a bite. :)

[Testimony]

Please don't ostracize me. I am always freaking out about all this chocolate that family and friends send to my children. AAA!

I want to throw it out! It usually sits in the refridgerator uneaten and unopened for months. It makes me so mad that we get all this stuff. Last year I melted it down and tried to make a project out of it. It failed miserably. This year, I guess we will wait because the garbage men came already.

I tell you that I get sooo angry. Grrr! It is not a pretty sight after we come home from Easter dinner Sunday nights. GRRR!!!!

[Jenny in Atl]

I always get some for myself, and if that's gone and they want to share... I by no means stop them. :D

[JFS in IL]

Now, the Reese's eggs - them I devour (and replace at the last minute - am not totally evil!) But the bunny - nope. (With four kids expecting baskets and eggs etc. I am not shelling out for quality chocolate bunnies - whatever is largest and cheapest at Walmart is what they get.)

[Just Me]

Yeah, well, this year, I actually forgot to buy the candy until the day before. And I only had $15 on me to buy for 3 kids. So, at $5 a piece, they really didn't get enough for share with mom! However, a friend did bring over a pecan pie that I polished off last night!! :D

[Jean in Wisc]

There was not a single candy treat brought into our home this Easter that was dairy free.

Nothing for me.

:crying:

[Mrs. Readsalot]

Hmmm maybe this is a Karen thing. My ds like milk chocolate and I like dark hence different bunnies. This really does make for a much happier household.

[KidsHappen]

Ours is always much higher quality, this year Lindt and Russel Stovers. Sometimes the kids are stealing from my stash.

[Gretchen in NJ]

After I finish mine, then I help her eat hers.:001_huh: I know I am bad. I just love chocolate in any form.;)

We usually don't bother with theirs because I get a little something nice just for the two of us. We had friends over for dinner on Sunday and one of them brought a huge basket for our whole family, so dh has been eating that. Oh, and he definitely falls into the "it's in my house, so I deserve a portion of it" camp.

He's been drinking my Passover Pepsi like mad.
Which makes me mad.

Well, not totally, but.....

[Daisy]

I didn't even buy my children one this year. They don't like them. I usually wind up sending the candy to work with my tall and skinny husband. He eats it. I'm a dark chocolate girl and really dislike the cloying sweetness of milk chocolate. The kids would rather have bread and butter (I know, they are nuts but they LOVE homemade bread which is probably almost as bad as chocolate). LOL.

[Carol in Cal.]

The ears are mine, and the rest is DD's.

For normal years, this is a fine, equitable rule.

However, this year somehow DH found a very small bunny with very very long ears. The fight is on!

[mcconnellboys]

Well, actually, I never do eat theirs - but that's only because dh always buys me my OWN Easter bunny (which I'm just finishing off now, as I type this)..... He was a Dover, solid chocolate, medium size bunny this year. So I'll be sporting a medium size roll around my middle for convention this weekend.....

I chose "break out my own bunny," but actually I break out the big rocky road egg that I much prefer! The bunnies we buy are made of the same Guittard's chocolate that I have pounds of in the freezer, so I have plenty of my own if I need it, just not bunny-shaped.

[Robin in Tx]

I need an "other" category... bunny is the last thing on any of our minds! LOL

Seriously, it's still sitting there in the box, and it probably will still be untouched this summer. I found a few pieces of chocolate and candy left over from last year in the basket when I was stuffing it... we are just not candy eaters around here. So why do I waste money on it every year? Who knows... it looks good on Easter morning! LOL

The things that do go fast around here are whoppers :).

[dirty ethel rackham]

I have a rule in my house that my children cannot have candy or treats if they don't offer them to dear old Mom. That includes Easter candy. I did not buy myself my own chocolate bunny because, hey, why stop at one and not get 20? Then how would I drop these 30 lbs. At least I have an audience when I do have treats and I am not gorging alone ;)!
