Easter Candy

When I was growing up, my grandmother kept a lidded glass dish on her sideboard. When we dropped in for a visit, we would always find it filled with Hershey kisses.

Around Easter, she filled it with their pastel foiled-wrapped chocolate eggs. I always left with a pocketful of foil wrappings and as an adult, I realize (with so many of us dropping in) she must have refilled that dish daily!

I have my own little candy dish on the piano in the living room. I keep it filled with peanut M&Ms and it was only recently that I realized my nieces & nephews enter & exit the kitchen via the dining room door. It is the most direct route to the candy, you see.

When I saw this display, I decided to go a little overboard. Today I am going to fill an apothecary jar with Easter goodies. If I don't, who will?

Ah, perhaps their parents? Clearly they rely on their Auntie Ann for these treats though and you are a very generous and sweet woman. I'd like to visit that jar myself!

So very colorful! I have fond memories of visiting my grandparents and my grandpa would give us hershey kisses from a glass container that was in the china cabinet in the dining room. My grandma would scold him because she said it would ruin our dinner.

It never did.

I love the "oh my gosh" look of a jar full of candy. And I find the adults digging in as much as the kids! Who can wait for the Easter bunny?
