I love the gold bunny with the red ribbon and bell. You know the one I'm talking about. They start appearing in February and as Easter approaches, I buy a small one for me and my husband and a big one for my Dad.
I spoil my Dad at Easter (and all the rest of the time!) because he loves chocolate and he has always been the one who takes care of everyone else. His family didn't have much money growing up but my Papa always made sure each of his children had an Easter treat. My Dad loves to tell the story of how he would break out the bottoms of his younger sibling's Easter bunnies and hens, with the hope they wouldn't notice, in order to get more chocolate. He laughs about it now (and his sisters spoil him too)...so he gets a big bunny.
When I buy Easter chocolate, I give it to my husband for safe keeping. It's a game we play. I know where he hides it so if I really want to eat it pre-Easter, I can find it but for the most part, it's out of sight... (not out of mind) which helps...
