Easter Candy Sold in New York Added to Recall List Per FDA

It's hard to believe that Easter is less than a month away, but that's the case. The April 5th holiday will have family coming together for a sit-down meal. Some folks may be cooking and/or hosting the holiday, while others may be having their feast in a restaurant. Either way, it will be another family holiday to remember.

One thing is for certain: the kids will be excited (if they're not already) that the Easter Bunny will be visiting their homes with a basket full of treats. There is one treat in particular that you and the Easter Bunny should pay attention to, as it was recalled in New York.
