Chocolate is My Religion

I love Easter. Let me rephrase that…I love Easter candy. I especially love big giant chocolate rabbits. I have very fond memories as a child of biting the ears off and then using my best cartoon rabbit voice to scream, “MY EARS! MY EARS! THEY’RE GONE. OH, THE HUMANITY!” I have to admit, I’m a little timid about trying this shtick with the chocolate Jesus.

Yep, the “religious right” has had enough of our pagan candy bunnies and has introduced chocolates which convey the true meaning of the season. Visit Chocolate Fantasies (some part of  the site are NSFW) to get your own chocolate Jesus, Mary and other favorites such as Celtic crosses, crucifixes and baptismal scenes—all just in time for Easter. And it’s not that I’m totally against having ones faith immortalized in candy. I’m all for it. It just seems wrong to eat a religious icon.  And it also seems wrong to steal the innocence of bunnies and baby chicks away from our young-lings. read more
