Where's the eggs?

One of my favorite things about this time of year is that my all-time favorite candy is available -- the Reese's peanut butter egg. Now, I love Reese's candy in general. But, something about the "egg" is just irresistable to me. Maybe it's the shape? The "egg" seems to contain more yummy peanut butter than the original "cup". When I was a little girl, my sister (who is twelve years older than me) had a job at a nearby mom and pop grocery store. She would always come home from work with a little brown paper sack for me. In the sack, there was candy. Usually a Reese's peanut butter cup. Once in awhile, she would even bring me a whole box, full of Reese's peanut butter cups. Everyone knew that I loved them. That was "my thing". So, this year, when the stores began putting out the Easter candy, I was anxious to have my first egg of the season. But, lo and behold...I cannot find them. I've looked at WalMart, Kroger, Walgreens - with no luck. I found the little bitty miniature Reese's cups, and even the bags of mini-sized eggs. But, I want the big eggs that come six to a pack. What's up? Is there a shortage of chocolate or peanut butter that I didn't know about? Was there a problem at the Reese's factory with the assembly line for the "big eggs"? I must find some eggs! And, speaking of Reese's eggs...have you seen the commercial for them? A chocolate bunny and a jar of peanut butter facing one another, while the song 'Let's Get It On' plays. I thought that was just hilarious. Okay. I'll stop whining about my eggs now. But, don't think I'm not still out hunting for them. What about you? What's your favorite Easter candy?
