We love searching for dip-dyed eggs in the grass with our families, our fingers yellow and sticky with Peeps. But those marshmallow chicks got us thinking: As much as we love drug store candies, shouldn’t we feed better quality Easter treats to the little bunnies in our lives?
Well, the hunt for great sweets ends right here at Chelsea Market Baskets – we loaded up our store and site with globally-sourced artisanal delights that will set your Easter baskets apart from the rabbit pack. Check out our mouthwatering slideshow of specialty goods.

This warmer weather is getting us excited, and the joy in the air is causing us to do some crazy things. No, we don’t mean wearing shorts when it’s 40 degrees out. We’re talking about putting TONS of premium items on super sale. Huge Oatmeal of Alford bags? Sure. McClure’s Spicy Pickles? Why not. Cote D’Or Pistachio chocolate bars? OK, I’m buying five.
And we’re not the only ones with food on the brain this spring. People have been flocking in to get a piece of the action, these treats playing the lead role in the movie of their delicious weekend snacking lives. If you can dream it, they will come hungry.
We know it can be overwhelming to choose which delicious discounts to dive into first, so we’ve put together a guide to some of our favorite pantry items in terms everyone can understand: as the personalities of distinguished leading males of the silver screen.

Ian has been a staple in Hollywood and on Broadway for a long time—this year makes 50 years since his on-screen debut! Oatmeal of Alford is no different: it can star in your breakfasts or desserts with ease, and it will never go out of style. Congratulations on the work anniversary, Ian—we’re toasting you with a steel-cut salute.

This winter, we’ve turned to the hug-in-a-mug known as hot chocolate to keep our cheeks warm and rosy. Oh, the wonders of this little drink! Whether it’s for breakfast, dessert, or a mid-day pick-me-up, there’s nothing like a hot cup of sweet relief to make you smile.
Here are a few that brighten our days. The best part: they’re all available on our website, so you don’t have to brave the snow to get ‘em! We’d hate to make you suffer through any more hat hair.
Hasslacher’s Hot Drinking Chocolate
If you want pure, unadulterated chocolate, look no further than Hasslacher’s Hot Drinking Chocolate bricks ($12.95). It’s 100% Cacao from Colombia with nothing added. Their mission: to go beyond fair trade and keep every process from bean to bar in Colombia.
