We have our usual assortment: Peeps (the sugar coating isn't very
crunchy this year), malted 'robin's eggs', assorted chocolates and the
ever-popular exploded* chocolate-covered marshmallow eggs.

Making hot cross buns tomorrow cos I forgot to set the dough up today

*The marshmallow eggs are packed at sea level. When transported to this
much higher altitude, the marshmallow expands/explodes. The chocolate
coating is cracked, exposing the marshmallow :O
