Trades to Make YOU Healthier!
It’s Easter! It’s time to start getting the Easter baskets ready for your own little Easter bunnies. And here at Earth Fare, we think the plastic grass should be the ONLY fake thing in the Easter Basket! (Or, skip the fake grass completely, and use REAL grass! Some bunny will thank you later).
BUT, before you head to your nearest national drugstore or standard grocery store to grab some candy, you should consider the INGREDIENTS — some of your favorites may not be good treats for your Easter Bunnies. Check out easy trades you can make below so all your bunnies are happy and healthy!

Popular, Conventional Candy |
Earth Fare’s Trade |
| Cadbury Crème Egg: Tried and true name – not sure about true ingredients though! | Milk Chocolate Caramel Egg (available in other flavors) or Bug Bites Chocolates |
| Hershey’s Chocolate Bunny: This Wasically Wabbit won’t even satisfy Elmer Fudd with is artificial flavoring! | Chubby Bunny Foiled |
| Conventional Easter Jelly Beans – Popular as an Easter filler, these jelly beans are packed with artificial coloring and flavors. | Bulk Jolly Beans or Assorted All Natural Jelly Beans |
| LifeSavers Gummies Bunnies and Eggs: Gummies may be yummy, but these gummies will leave your kids with an artificial color and hyperactivity high! | Amy’s Gummy or Yummy Organic Candy Easter Bears |
| Jolly Rancher: Our ranchers just got less jolly when they found out that the explosion of flavors from a Jolly Rancher are just plain fake, fake, fake. | Go Naturally Cherry Organic Hard Candies (available in other flavors) |
| Laffy Taffy: There’s nothing to laugh about with all the artificial flavoring and colors in these candies. | Leather Fruit |
| Tootsie Dots: Chewy, gooey and artificially flavored to the core! | Crystallized Ginger or Amy’s Gummy |
Happy Easter, everyone!
