The History of Easter Candy: Peeps, Jelly Beans, and Chocolate Bunnies!

That chocolatey and exciting time of the year is back!

With Easter right around the corner, candy enthusiasts should be excited about all the iconic delights we have this spring season. While Easter carries a deep sense of religion and culture for most people in our part of the world, it has also become synonymous with sugary treats and chocolatey treats. As we like to put it- “Easter is a time of celebration, renewal, and of course, sweet cravings!”

Did you know that Easter candies have a rich backstory as well? It’s not just today that we line store shelves with pastel-coloured goodies. It’s been happening for generations. From the iconic marshmallow Peeps to classic jelly beans and the beloved chocolate bunny, Easter candy has a rich history.

The Origin Story of Easter Candy

Easter started with a deep cultural story and then got picked up by the rest of the world as an occasion and reason to celebrate and feast. Traditionally, it marks the end of Lent which is a period of fasting and self-reflection. To understand the tradition of giving sweets during Easter, we have to go back to Medieval Europe. During that time, sugar used to be a luxury item. Hence, the exchange of sweet treats was limited to special occasions once or twice a year. As sugar became more widely available, confectioners began crafting candies that reflected the themes of Easter like rebirth, renewal, and fertility.

Today, Easter candy is a booming industry, with millions of pounds of chocolate, marshmallow, and sugary treats being sold worldwide each year. Wholesale candy suppliers in Canada and beyond stock up months in advance to make sure that customers can enjoy their favorite Easter treats in bulk. But among the vast assortment of Easter confections, three stand out as the undisputed champions of the holiday: Peeps, jelly beans, and chocolate bunnies.
