Why did chocolate get so deeply incorporated with Easter? I always thought the whole commercialized portion of Easter was all about a big rabbit hiding pastel-colored eggs but now it is about Easter baskets and every kind of candy imaginable being molded into eggs, bunnies, and carrots. This commercial from the 80's just emphasizes how big chocolate is for the Easter season: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCWvb_mf2ts Unfortunately, I could not upload the video, but if you follow the link, you will see an old commercial showing kids thanking the Easter Bunny for giving them M&Ms. What happened to painting the eggs and going on hunts the next morning?
It is funny how chocolate always finds its way into the stocking, basket or bag of children during every holiday even if it doesn't seem to have anything at all to do with the holiday, like M&Ms and Easter. At least the M&Ms today are pastel-colored, and not the original kind like in the commercial!

that commercial is so cute! it is true though chocolate does find a way to dominate every holiday. it really shows in this commercial when the one girl who actually is coloring eggs, is coloring them like m&ms.
