Hop of the Morning To You! Easter Morning Treats

By: Jonathan Jones 04/17/2014

When it comes to Easter morning, it’s all about creating an extra special memory.  This year, take your spring treats up a notch by replacing mass produced and processed sweets, with locally crafted confections.  Show your little bunnies how much they mean to you by taking the extra hop to these candy shops.  No need to hunt for anything else… here are the top ten sweet and most eggcelent treats for that special “some-bunny” in your life.

The Long Grove Confectionery Company is known around the world for their gourmet dark chocolate, milk chocolate, barks, turtles and more… oh my.  Try one of their apple pies!  They’re made fresh, and frozen immediately to preserve their flavor so be sure you have a few hours to let it thaw!

The Lovin’ Oven Cakery in Libertyville says it all.  And there’s nothing not to love about this place.  They have the freshest pastries and treats that would make a delicious addition to your occasion, or bring some of their fresh coffee cake to a family brunch and steal the show.

Lake Forest’s Popcorn Factory Outlet has popcorn combinations that you’d never imagine! Take popcorn to the extreme by turning this snack into a decadent treat with their S’mores popcorn that you won’t soon forget.  Trust me.  And if you can’t decide, just ask Sandy.  She always seems to know the perfect flavor for everyone!

Love peanut butter cups? Cacao Sweets & Treats in Downtown Grayslake makes their own peanut butter extracts!  Enjoy organic and natural sweets all made from scratch. Step inside the indoor tropical paradise of KeyLime Cove Resort in Gurnee to visit D.W. Anderson’s Eatery and Ice Cream Parlor where you can find any kind of freshly made fudge that you can imagine!
