Europe's Largest Easter Egg

If you were in Rome this weekend, you may have been able to eat a piece of this GIGANTIC easter egg...if you weren't, I guess you would have had to settle for jellybeans and smaller (but still yummy) chocolate eggs and bunnies. Profits from the sale of pieces of this huge honkin' egg benefited victims of the recent earthquake in the Abruzzo region.

How Peeps Are Made

You know spring has sprung when the stores are filled with plastic grass, giant stuffed bunnies and these little guys called marshmallow Peeps.
If you've ever wondered how our sugary chick friends are born then the The Chicago Tribune can help you out with this neat photo gallery with photos taken from the Just Born factory in Bethlehem, Pa.

(Personally, I've never really liked the taste of these things but they sure are cute.)
