German Easter Candy and Sweets to Fill Your Easter Basket

When I was young, we looked forward to receiving packages from my Opa a few times a year. Brown paper wrapped packages, tied up with string (actually twine… but Julie Andrews never mentions twine in her song). They came at Christmas (in the odd year he didn’t visit), our Birthdays, and at Easter. After mama carefully untied the knots and saved the twine for later, then the paper would come off, opening the box we’d take a deep sniff (it smelled of Germany and sweets).  The Easter package came packed with German Easter Candy. Egg-shaped chocolates, Haribo Gummis, cookies, alcohol filled Pralines for the adults, and super sweet Fondant Eggs.

Sadly, my Opa is no longer with us, but the flavors and smells of German treats always awaken happy memories of him, and his incredible generosity towards us. Clearly, he knew that All of the best sweets and treats came from Germany. (Of course, his love added an extra touch of sweetness!).

We still try to fill our Easter Baskets with German Candies and Chocolates… and like my Opa, and my Mama, I enjoy gifting them to the people I love.

Waffle Eggs

My father likes to nibble on waffle cookies. A crisp baked waffle shell covers a sweet frosting-like filling. At Easter, instead of the standard squares, we give him these Egg shaped waffle cookies. The little eggs are filled with chocolate and cream filling, and some are even dark chocolate covered to balance the sweetness.

Marzipan for Easter

Niederegger Marzipan for Easter

Marzipan Easter Eggs Pralines With Milk And Dark Chocolate In A Noble Easter Gift Package | Pistachio | Espresso | Caramel Brittle | Pineapple | Apple & Orange | 100 g | Niederegger | GermanyNiederegger Easter Eggs, 3 varieties 150g/5.3 ozNiederegger Dark Chocolate Covered Marzipan Easter BunnyMarzipan Easter Eggs Pralines Covered In A Dark Bittersweet Chocolate In A Noble Easter Gift Bag Package | 100 g | Niederegger | GermanyNiederegger Marzipan Eggs and Bunny – 175 g/6.25 oz

You might notice that Königsberg Marzipan looks different from regular marzipan, that’s because it’s baked to give the top a sort of crispy finish. More like a cookie. The base is the same… almonds, sugar, and rosewater.  Königsberger marzipan gets its name from Königsberg, the former German city on the far East end of Prussia. You’ll often find this special treat filled with jam or decorated.

If you prefer a more traditional Marzipan, you will love these marzipan eggs (the ones in cocoa are exactly like marzipan potatoes!)

More marzipan… this time as a Mozart Kugel. The traditional with layers of marzipan and nougat covered in milk chocolate, and the Princess version with marzipan and raspberry covered in white chocolate.

Zuckerhasen

Zuckerhasen  (Sugar Rabbits ) are a piece of sweet nostalgia. The hard sugar candy… either traditional or with a cream flavor mixed in… are pretty to look at, and fun to eat. Find out more about them here.
