Easter features some of the tastiest treats of all times like Cadbury Creme Eggs and Heavenly Hash. (But not Mini Eggs. Whoever invented those chalky chocolate tablets clearly didn’t get Easter candy as a kid and is trying to punish the rest of us.)

Marshmallow Peeps may also be a traditional Easter candy, but they are still good on every other day on the calendar.

You've probably even posed with the Easter bunny, or at least passed one or two in the mall. But do you know why Easter is affiliated with such unique traditions?
