A popular treat during the Easter season is peanut butter eggs covered in milk chocolate.
Did you know: The custom of giving eggs at Easter time has been traced back to Egyptians, Greeks and Romans, to whom the egg was a symbol of life. Next to Halloween, Easter holiday paves way for confectionary business to boom.
Many confectionary treats often use dairy products as part of the recipe. Milk’s powerful nutrient package of calcium, plus eight other essential nutrients, helps nourish your body, not just your bones. Dairy is irreplaceable in the diet as a source of essential nutrients so receiving your three servings of dairy everyday is important.
