Easter has long been associated with the Easter Bunny, chocolate eggs and treasure hunts, but for some of us, the sheer amount of sugar associated with the holiday is a problem we’d rather not deal with.
Sure, a little bit of Easter chocolate is fine for some, but when everyone you know is gifting eggs to your kids, the crash can be epic.
Fear not, because there are some great chocolate-free alternatives that make wonderful gifts for young and old. And the sugar is nowhere in sight!
