When you have children, it seems that no matter how good your intentions, the candy box is always full. From Halloween, Christmas, and Valentine’s, to Easter and birthday parties—it’s a never-ending parade of candy all year long and preventing cavities is no easy job! As soon as the last traces of Halloween fun-size and Christmas joy are gone from your pantry, in hops the Easter Bunny with a fresh round of sweets.
The Easter Bunny is on his way again right now. The seasonal aisle of the grocery store is overflowing with colorful marshmallow concoctions, pastel-colored jelly beans, chocolate bunnies, and oozy sweet eggs.
When it comes to the biggest candy celebration of them all, Easter and Halloween are neck and neck. Americans spend an average of $28.11 per person on Easter candy. As a country, we spend $2.1 billion dollars on 120 million pounds of the stuff every year. These are astonishing numbers for a holiday that is only one of the holidays that we celebrate with candy each year.
