 Novelty Easter Candy 
Go "green" with sweet edible Easter grass.

Line up a bunch of Easter baskets and you'll probably find the same old ho-hum candy in each one.

The Easter Bunny needs to step up his game!

Instead of jellybeans and Peeps, bump up the baskets with crazy confections like Gummy Bunny Teeth, Edible Easter Grass, Bacon-Flavored Jellybeans, and "Walking With Jesus" Flip Flops.

Meatball Bubble Gum
Can you imagine the look on your kid's face when they peek into their Easter baskets and find that Meatball Bubble Gum has replaced their sugar egg?

Celebrate Easter!

Beyond the fact that this gum looks exactly like a meatball, we want to know who came up with this idea and why.

Don't get us wrong, it's quite possibly the greatest confectionary invention since the everlasting gobstopper.

Super chewy and packaged as if it was imported from Italy, Meatball Bubble Gum  can be purchased at Stupid.com.



Gummy Bunny Teeth
Who cares about cavities when your teeth are made out of candy?

Rumored to be modeled after the EB's (Easter Bunny's) very own set of chompers, kids can slip on these gummy bunny dentures and sport their own set of pearly buck teeth.

You'll find Gummy Bunny Teeth in assorted colors at Candywarehouse.com.



Uncle Oinker's Gummy Bacon
If it's good enough for Uncle Oinker, it's good enough for your kids' Easter baskets!

Bacon has got to be one of the most universally loved flavors of all time, but to put that smoky goodness in candy may be a bit much.

This Gummy Bacon has a kid-pleasing strawberry flavor and looks just like the real stuff right before it hits the frying pan.

Your kids will love it and it's available at Archie McPhee.



Edible Easter Grass
Spin the sugar-fest out of control by trading the tacky shredded Easter basket filler for Edible Easter Grass.

Tightly spun candy twines make a fresh nest for Easter candy and you can even use it to keep jellybeans from sinking to the bottom of the basket.

You'll find Edible Easter Grass at Candywarehouse.com.






Gummy Earthworms
Gummy worms have sunk to a whole new level!

Freak out the kids by slipping these slimy edible earthworms into their Easter basket grass. For added drama and dirt, smear Oreo cookie crumbs over the crawlers.

Since these earthworms look very realistic, you may want to save this gummy gag for the older kids. Snag Gummy Earthworms from Candywarehouse.com.



Bubble Gum Cocktail Wienies
Forget the Easter basket--we're going to serve these at a cocktail party! Bubble Gum Cocktail Wienies are sure to be a big hit with the kids on Easter morning.

These sweet links come in a retro can with a bright yellow label. Pop open the can, and pop them into your mouth.

You'll find Bubble Gum Cocktail Wienies  along with Gummy T-bone Steaks in the confectionary online meat aisle at Archie McPhee.




Marie Antoinette Head Lollipops
Give a sweet new meaning to "off with her head" with Marie Antoinette Head Lollipops.

The craftsmanship on these cherry-flavored pops is quite impressive, from the famed French queen's hairdo to her pretty blue eyes.

In fact, these are so cute that your kids might choose to play with them instead of devouring them and the lollipops will never get a licking.

Another fave of ours with a historic bent is Shakespearean Insult Gum, which includes a set of mini volumes of the bard's work with gumballs and a printed insult on the inside. 

Marie Antoinette Head Lollipops and Shakespearean Insult Gum are available at Archie McPhee.
 



Marshmallow Hamburger
Even though it's tough to get kids to eat, most will chow down on a burger. Give the kids what they want by slipping a Marshmallow Hamburger into their baskets.

This hefty piece of sweet meat weighs a whopping ¼ pound and is made entirely out of marshmallow, from the slice of cheese on the burger to the sesame seed bun.

Save the drive-thru for another day and get this Marshmallow Hamburger at Stupid.com.




Bean Boozled Jellybeans
Reality TV antics have finally hit the holidays. Dare your kids to down jellybeans that flaunt flavors on the package like “Pencil Shavings” and “Skunk Spray.”
Your kids may smell an Easter basket sabotage at first, but those who take the challenge will learn that the supposedly skunked black beans are actually licorice flavor and "Booger" flavor pinch hits for "Juicy Pear."

Bean Boozled Jellybeans available at CandyWarehouse.com.



Lightening Bug Candy
Send shockwaves throughout the dim candy pickings in most Easter baskets with light-up larva.
Confectionary conductivity occurs when the kids use special tweezers with a little light in the tip to pick up these edible gummy bugs that are formulated to GLOW.

Lightening Bug Candy
at Stupid.com.



Bubble Gum Fairy Eggs
Freshly harvested Fairy Eggs are indeed rare.

Tell the tykes that Tinkerbell herself has been in cahoots with the Easter Bunny to bring these mythical eggs to the baskets of children who believe in fairies.

Surprisingly, Fairy Eggs taste like bubble gum.

Bubble Gum Fairy Eggs available at Archie McPhee.



Carrot Gum
Expect "boos" from the kids when they pull out this pack of convincingly carotene baby carrots from their Easter baskets.
You can even play along with a healthy snack rap and insist that they pop one carrot in their mouth for every jellybean.

One bite into this rabbit food will reveal that it's actually gum, and the Easter bunny's reputation will be saved.

Carrot Gum available at OrientalTrading.com.



"Walking With Jesus" Flip Flops
Apparently, Jesus walked on water straight to a tropical island for a little R and R!
These edible "Walking With Jesus" gummy flip flops pay tribute to the Bethlehem beachcomber with a cheeky blessing to sanctify common Easter basket offerings.

"Walking With Jesus" Flip Flops available at OrientalTrading.com.



"Toadally" Gross Gummy Toads
Bewitch the old Easter basket brew by sprinkling in a few baby toads that are ripe for springtime.
Sweet, swampy, and oozing with liquid fruit centers, gross gummy toads are wicked good and wart-free.

Gummy Toads available at OrientalTrading.com.




Bible Tin Mints
The ultimate Apostle promo product, it's as if Peter, Matthew, and John got together and made these cross-stamped tins with crucifix mints for J.C. to hand out on his speaking tour.

Give the kids a bible lesson and kissing sweet breath by slipping these into their Easter baskets.

Bible Tin Mints available at OrientalTrading.com.



Realistic Crunchy Candy Bugs
What lies beneath a seemingly innocent Easter basket?
Candy bugs crawling through the grass with the same crunchy ecto-skeletal goodness of their real-life counterparts.

Candy Bugs available at OrientalTrading.com.




Candy Cockroach Bites
Everyone’s favorite crevice dwellers don't need to hide in the kitchen crannies any longer!
Give candy cockroaches a space of their own within the weave of a child's Easter basket.

Candy Cockroaches available at CandyWarehouse.com.




Bacon Beans
Get piggy with it from the Easter ham at dinner to bacon jellybeans in the kids’ baskets.
While the flavor may not be an exact taste bud match made in heaven, it's much better for your arteries.

Bacon Jellybeans available at Archie McPhee.
