Do you ever make any of your own Easter candy?

Share your recipe for the special candy you create.
My sister and I used to always make peanut butter eggs. Here's a recipe that we use for them:
Peanut butter cream eggs
1/4 lb butter (not margarine!)
8 oz cream cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
4 cups powdered sugar
2 large bars of plain milk chocolate (Cadbury works best)
Cream butter and cream cheese until smooth. Mix in salt, peanut butter and sugar. Chill, covered at least 2 hours. Melt chocolate over very low heat or in a double boiler. Remove mixture from fridge and dip in melted chocolate. Place on baking sheets and refrigerate until set.

This is easy to make and can be shaped into bunnies or egg shapes.
One method of making popcorn balls requires a pint of molasses or syrup (either maple syrup, sugar molasses, or corn syrup), two cups of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of butter, and a teaspoonful of vinegar. Cook till the syrup will harden into a firm ball when a little is dropped in cold water. Pour the hot syrup over four or five quarts of popcorn, stirring till each kernel is well coated, when it may be pressed with the hands into balls or molded into any form desired.

Oh, that reminds me of the rice krispie treats I've put in molds for Easter too! I made krispie eggs using the Jello egg molds and little bunnies using sucker molds!
