Russell Stover Marshmallow Egg

While this marshmallow, with its chocolate coated exterior, isn't the worst candy from a nutritional standpoint, you definitely don't want to reach back for several of them in one sitting. Try to resist the sugared goodness!

Peeps

Sure these sweet yellow chicks look harmless, but underneath their sugary exterior lies a marshmallow center that will lure you into a basin of caloric sin. OK, maybe it isn't that intense, especially if you can limit yourself to one peep, but know that eating the entire package will cost you!

Whoppers Mini Robin Eggs

Crunchy, chocolatey and only available seasonally, Whoppers Mini Robin Eggs are always fun to discover while rooting through your Easter basket grass. A handful won't ruin your day, but be sure to count them out, especially if you are nibbling on them while searching for more!

Cadbury Mini Eggs

Cadbury's more modestly sized staple Easter treat may give you more wiggle room, in terms of your chosen serving size, than its full-sized crème predecessor, but that doesn't necessarily make this sweet treat a caloric steal. Mind your egg count before you put all of these sweet treats in one basket.

M&M’s Milk Chocolate

Hidden amidst the green plastic grass, you'll find little M&M's — seasonally colored in pastels, of course. While these tiny little chocolate bites may seem harmless due to their size, absentmindedly eating an entire package could cost you a ton of calories for the day.
