Moderation is Key!
We know avoiding the colorful and yummy Easter candy altogether is nearly impossible. So we suggest if you do want to put candy in their baskets you stick with things like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Their better than the sticky/gummy candies like jelly beans and Starbursts that stay trapped on and around teeth much longer than chocolate.
Peeps and other marshmallowy treats are great alternatives because they too dissolve faster than their gummy, sticky friends.
