DD is turning 3 in a month and I'm including sweets in her basket for the first time!
Picked her up a 1oz dark chocolate bunny sucker from a local chocolatier. Might regret the decision come Sunday afternoon. 
but I know she is going to love it! Just have to ration it so she doesn't eat the whole sucker!
Anyone else including sweets this year?

I ordered Xander a dairy-free chocolate bunny to include in his Easter basket! He's never had chocolate candy before, so I have no idea what he'll think of it.

I don't think so. I need to look and see what DH and I bought for her basket. I will probably just fill in with some goldfish or fruit gummies we already have. My parents might get her some.

I'm sure someone will give E candy this year. Plus, it's her bday, so there will be cake!!!!! I'm actually not doing a basket for her.

I don't plan on doing a basket, no matter how many times my mother reminds me that I should. I did get him the little people airplane and a baymax figurine. Given that he just starting eating solids on a regular basis, candy would not be a gift to him lol!

You bet he is! I just bought him an iced sugar cookie, and he's got some chocolate eggs that he likes.

I hadn't really planned on it, but I couldn't resist a little chocolate train set I found at a local candy store today.

Not from us, but MIL already have LO her Easter basket and there was a TON of candy in there. Good stuff though, marshmallows and lollipops from Williams-Sonoma that I’m totes going to be stealing from LO. 
My parents will also give her a basket and I’m sure it will have candy in it. LO *hates* chocolate, so probably just gummies and jelly beans.

I'm including some bunny cookies in DS's easter basket along with some "safe" chocolates (he's allergic to milk and eggs) and spring-themed toys. But I know daycare and family gatherings are going to include candy galore with at least a few things he can have, so I figure his candy quota will be well-met.

@regberadaisy: Ha I tried to attach a photo of it, but my phone doesn't seem to want to do that...I just put a picture of it on IG, though

I normally do, but this year we went super low key on baskets. We got the kids a swing set!

We got DS a small baggie of m&ms and a large marshmallow peep bunny. They're the only candy he eats. The rest of his basket is going to be stickers, bubbles, small stuff like that.

Some kinder eggs, some plastic eggs with cheddar bunnies, a toothbrush, shine hairbows. Nothing crazy.

What are kinder eggs and what's the big deal?

@oliviaoblivia: I wonder if duty free will have it?!

@regberadaisy: maybe on the way in. Be careful crossing the border with them. There's a crazy fine for bringing them into the US.... like $100k crazy.

@regberadaisy They used to be illegal in the US which is why I was surprised to see people were able to buy them. I guess the laws must have changed.
