The polls have closed, the votes are counted, and in our highly scientific and utterly irrefutable manner, The Great Egg Debate has conclusively determined the best Easter Eggs in the world. You have spoken, and the results are final:

(Drumroll please...)


With 33% of the vote, the best Easter Eggs in the world are:



Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs!

These delicious confections outlasted a last-minute vote run that saw both Cadbury Eggs and homemade peanut butter eggs finish with 20% of the vote each.

Cadbury Mini Eggs took third place with 16%, white chocolate bunnies took 9% of the vote, and a write-in candidate, deviled eggs. finished with 2%.

And so it is decided. My thanks to all who participated in this very important poll.

I wish you all a very Happy Easter! Time to gobble down some of those Reeses Eggs...

Only a week to go until Easter, which means only a week more of official voting in The Great Egg Debate, by which we will determine once and for all which are the absolute, inarguable BEST Easter Eggs.

At press time, the standings are as follows:

Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs lead with 30% of the vote.

Cadbury Eggs and homemade peanut butter eggs are tied for second with 23% of the vote each.

Cadbury Mini Eggs carry a respectable 13% of the vote.

10% of voters agreed with my assertion that white chocolate bunnies beat them all.

The "Other" category has 3% of the vote, with the suggestion that deviled eggs are in fact the best.

The Great Egg Debate

Image via Wikipedia

Easter is just about three weeks away, but over on my Facebook page I seem to have struck a nerve with a simple question I posed about Easter candy - or, more specifically, about candy Easter eggs:

"Which are better - Cadbury Eggs or Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs?"

Should be a simple enough question, right? Wrong!

So far, the responses have been varied and passionate, and few will answer the question directly, opting instead to cast write-in ballots for another option!

First came the sub-debate regarding homemade peanut butter eggs. While the general consensus is that homemade are the very best (one person even going so far as to declare that to compare Reeses OR Cadbury to homemade would be utterly unfair), a question was raised as to whether homemade should be considered an option for this discussion as the extent of my culinary abilities was an unknown factor. Not to worry; the homemade-egg faction promised delivery of homemade eggs if my skills fell short of the mark.

(BTW, I happen to be a pretty good cook, having worked in restaurant kitchens for many years in my 20s, although by my own admission desserts are not a strong point in my culinary skillset.)

Other write-in candidates so far have been peanut butter eggs bought at a farmer's market, Cadbury's Mini-Eggs and those candy "robins eggs".

I myself muddied the waters a bit by noting that the argument was really moot, because when it comes to Easter candy all others are trumped by white chocolate bunnies - now that's REALLY going off the board for an answer!

Of the initial choices, Reeses seems to be favored. Cadbury has been making a recent surge, though, and as comments continue to be added, the race between the two main contenders is tightening.

And so I bring the debate to you, my readers. Please cast your vote in the following poll, and make your arguments or provide your supporting evidence in the comments, and we will, over the next three weeks, definitively answer the question as to the best Easter eggs in the world!
