Elmer’s Toasted Marshmallow Eggs
I also knew that they did Easter candies, though this was the first year I saw them at my stores here on the West Coast. The most famous products are their Gold Brick and Heavenly Hash Eggs, which are still devilishly out of reach. What I did find at the Rite Aid was Chocolate Covered Toasted Marshmallow Eggs
The cartoon rabbits on the package are the product of Jim Benton, part of the It’s Happy Bunny (tm) series. (Official website here.) Inside the tray the little packages come in either pink or powder blue mylar and have a different saying on them: Each little marshmallow is about two and a half inches long.
The marshmallow here is rather like what you’d get if you just toasted a real marshmallow, it’s very soft, almost runny. The chocolate shell is soft as well, but at least it doesn’t flake off. The marshmallow center has a strong single note vanilla flavor (like fake vanilla extract) but then there’s a second component that’s a little toasted sugar flavor. The very soft texture of the marshmallow is a little different from other more foamy Easter concoctions, but it’s very smooth (no grain). I ate half of the candies in the package and was overall pleased with them but ultimately they’re too sweet for me to just eat without something to balance it. The little bunnies and their quips on the package was a nice change and would be a fun item to give to friends or pop in your kid’s lunch box. Each egg is about 80 calories. Related Candies

I got a box of their chocolates for Valentine’s day, and they were also extremely sweet - even just the plain chocolate one I tried.
wow, those “sayings” on the packages…just wow, the are horrible. they’re not even funny or cute, but in bad taste.
no wonder so many kids have such a rotten spoiled attitude and that sixth sense….of entitlement.
God, I HATE their candy. It’s some of the worst crap I’ve ever eaten. A teacher in my school brought a box and I just spit it right out. Awful!
The packaging looks so cheap…as to be tacky.
Love em, Love em, Love em!!!
The Happy Bunny is hilarious and the candy idea is original and yummy!
I agree with #5. I love marshmallow eggs and these caught my eye.
The flavor was just what I have been looking for. The ‘toasted’ taste gave it a little something more than the other eggs out there.
These have made my Easter!
