For some, Easter serves as more of an excuse to shamelessly overindulge in one of life's most guilty and delicious pleasures -- SWEETS -- than a religious holiday. There's the standard yellow Marshmallow Peep, the Cadbury Creme Egg (for those who like surprises), the jelly bean and the ever-addictive Reese's Peanut Butter Egg.
