There is nothing more comforting than a gooey chocolate bar, right? I don’t know about you, but eating one always takes me back to the carefree days of my childhood.

Believe it or not, the sale of gourmet chocolate is on the rise… even in our faltering economy. Most of us probably can’t afford a new car, right now, but we can still afford quality chocolate now and then.

If you hurry, there is still time to order a Gourmet Easter Basket, for everyone on your gift giving list. There are SO many to choose from, its mind boggling… well, almost.

The ‘Hippity-Hoppity Easter Gift Basket Stack’, pictured here, caught my eye because of the bunny. Isn’t he adorable? (He’s a Gund.)

While technically the candy that fills the polka dot pail isn’t gourmet it certainly traditional. Marshmallow PEEPS, peanut butter eggs, M&M’s and Twizzlers, need I say more?

There are gourmet Easter baskets suitable for every age and both genders, not all of them come complete with a bunny. I’m sure if you take a few minutes to browse our selection, you’ll find the perfect gift.

Since I’m feeling rather nostalgic, I’d love to hear about the Easter basket you remember most from your own childhood. Care to share the details?
