Best holiday candy: Easter or Valentine's Day?
20.05.12
The setup: We're finally coming down from our Valentine's Day sugar high, and now here comes Easter on Sunday. Time for a faceoff! Emily Van Zandt likes Easter candy; Victoria Rodriguez prefers Valentine's Day sweets.
Victoria: When I was a little girl, I would wake up on Valentine's Day to find a big, heart-shaped chocolate box and two smaller ones on our dining room table. The bigger box was for Mom and the two smaller ones for my twin sister and me. I will take Valentine's Day candy over Easter candy anytime because it holds a special place in my heart.
Emily: How sad do you feel buying Valentine's Day candy for yourself? At least kind of sad. How sad do you feel buying Easter candy for yourself? Not at all, because it's too awesome for tears. Awesome, mainly, in its limited-time appearance. You can get Hershey's Kisses and Whitman's Samplers anytime. Cadbury Creme Eggs? One magical time of the year.
