Bright, colorful baskets are a trademark of the Easter holiday. For teens who claim to have outgrown the egg hunt (is it truly possible to outgrow a good, old-fashioned Easter egg hunt?), the basket becomes the big prize of the day. Some fill their baskets with items to signify the start of spring, like flip flops or sunscreen, while some stick to a more traditional route (read: lots of candy); but one essential component of any Easter basket is the chocolate.

When the Easter bunny is putting together his beloved baskets, he only picks the highest-quality chocolate. I polled our Editors to see how they choose to fill their Easter baskets and, unsurprisingly, they had strong opinions. Some are ride-or-die Cadbury fans, while some prefer a Whoppers Robin Egg or a Reese’s. No matter your preference—from dark to milk chocolate, with caramel, crème, or peanut butter fillings—these chocolate eggs will carry you (erm, I mean the Easter bunny) through many Easters to come. Hop to it!

Cadbury Easter Crème Egg

Credit: courtesy of amazon.com

"My family is Jewish so we don't celebrate Easter or have Easter baskets. But my dad and I share a love for Cadbury creme eggs. When I was a kid, they were only in stores around Easter. Now you can get them year-round (which is dangerous) but my dad would always pick up a couple from the store on the way home from work and share with me. I always think of my dad when I cheat on the diet and indulge in one." –Ā Rebecca Baer, News Editor

Shop It: amazon.com, $19.99 for Pack of 48
