While Easter and candy appear to go hand in hand, experts say, parents don’t have to go overboard with their basket selections. Research suggests darker chocolate may have some health benefits. Young children may not like the taste of dark chocolate, but teens and older people sometimes prefer it over milk chocolate. Add age-appropriate non-food items (like stickers, bubbles, coloring books, cards, jewelry, a CD or movie) and healthier snacks (like raisins, dried fruit or containers of applesauce) to fill out the basket. Encourage activity by placing a sports-related gear in the basket. Older people may prefer baskets with flavored coffees or teas or a gift certificate for a grocery store or favorite restaurant.
