While in a store today at lunch, amidst the chocolate easter bunnies, malted milk bird's eggs, jelly beans, peanut butter eggs, Peeps of various forms, and other traditional Easter candy, I saw - a chocolate cross. Now, I'm a good church-going Southern boy, well-versed in all the Easter traditions, the religious kind and the egg-dyeing kind, and I participate enthusiastically in both areas. But there just seems to be something vaguely (or not so vaguely, I can't decide) sacreligious about eating a candy cross. Maybe it's a transmutation of the Communion thing; but mainly I think it's just in poor taste, although probably quite tasty. It was, after all, available in milk chocolate and white chocolate.
