The Delicious History of Easter Candy?
When thinking of Easter, most people think of brightly colored baskets full of equally colorful candy. Everything from chocolate bunnies to jelly beans comes to mind. However, this holiday wasn’t always so delicious. Here’s a quick history that led to the candy-filled Easter that we know and love today. It all began with chocolate. The first Easter candy was solid chocolate eggs, which were created in the 1800’s when chocolate first hit the streets of Europe. Chocolatiers molded their chocolate into the shape of eggs for Easter to boost their sales. This led to hand crafted hollow eggs and then on to the first mass production of chocolate that we’re accustomed to today. It’s estimated that about 90 million chocolate bunnies are made for Easter every year. What would Easter be without jelly beans? This little candy is believed to have originated from the dish ’turkish delight’, which was popular in Istanbul, Turkey. Though jelly beans were already a popular treat in America, they became a hit for Easter in the 1930’s. Their egg shape made them a perfect match for the Easter bunny, who had become a fixed part of American culture by this time. It’s estimated that during Easter alone, over 16 billion jelly beans are distributed in America. It was in the jelly bean factory that another Easter favorite was developed; peeps. Those marshmallow chicks that we all associate with Easter with the creation of a Russian immigrant who had purchased a small candy shop in New York back in 1953. When peeps were first created it took 27 hours to create just one peep. If that were still the case, peeps would be a much rarer treat than they are today. Mass production of the peep began just one year later, luckily. Every Easter, about 700 million peeps of all shapes and sizes are purchased. Easter is one of the biggest candy-eating occasions of the year, coming second only to Halloween. About 7 billion pounds of candy were consumed in America during the Easter season of 2001. So the history of Easter candy is becoming a significant part of Easter history.
