As the Easter Bunny will tell you, the key ingredient to every Easter basket is picking the perfect centerpiece. More than half of respondents (51 percent) say a chocolate bunny is the one item they would use as an Easter basket centerpiece, more so than toys or plastic eggs.
Whether you prefer using a traditional treat, like Reese's Peanut Butter Bunny, or a fun twist on a classic such as Hershey's Solid Milk Chocolate Princess Bunny, Hershey has centerpiece options "no-bunny" can resist. Consider a new star for this year's basket; theCadbury Hollow Milk Chocolate Bunny features traditional Cadbury chocolate and is dressed for the occasion with an adorable purple bow and big black eyes.
Once you choose the perfect chocolate or peanut butter bunny, fill your basket with the top Easter favorites. Eight in ten people consider chocolate eggs an essential, so add the traditional Cadbury Creme Egg Candy that everyone knows and loves. An indulgent, egg-shaped treat of creamy milk chocolate with a center of pure gooey goodness, this classic recipe won't stay nestled long in its bed of plastic grass.
Next, don't forget to add the item one-third of respondents said they would be most excited to find in their Easter basket—Reese'sPeanut Butter Eggs! Covered in milk chocolate and filled with Reese's peanut butter, this treat will put a spring in anyone's step!
Finally, be sure to include a new treat, like the Whoppers Mini Robin Eggs Candy Carrot, which wraps everyone's favorite bite-sized candy into a festive carrot-shaped package.

If you would prefer a fruit-flavored treat, fill your eggs with new Jolly Rancher Gummies Bunny Food, which come in pea, carrot, and tomato shapes.
