- Reese's Eggs
- Cadbury Mini Eggs
- Lindt Milk Chocolate Gold Bunny
- Starburst Jellybeans

"No one has better taste in candy than the Easter Bunny who is selecting a lot of egg-cellent treats to fill baskets this year," said Carlo Baldan, group VP of center store merchandising. "No need to hunt for low prices on Easter essentials at Kroger. We have every bunny covered with affordable holiday meal staples, everyday low prices and savings on candy and gifts to make the day extra hoppy."
