Easter stock-up

[TheGrey]

I'm sure everyone has noticed the Easter goodies taking over the shelves in the stores.

For the Prepping pantry, Easter is one of the best holidays for the comfort section of your shelves. Don't have a comfort section for your shelves? Whyever not? SHTF scenarios are stressful; comfort food will be the cheapest and quickest-rewarding thing on your list. Use a Food Saver and canning jars, and be ready to scoop up on deals, such as:

Jelly Beans
M&Ms
Chocolates
Hard candies

...and so on.

In addition, we have popping corn, and flavored salts.

What sorts of things do you have in your 'comfort food section'?

I just can't stand All the pastel colors of the goodies around Easter. I'll wait for the Manley colors.........

And by the way, how do you can Peeps ?

Hard candies aren't difficult to make from scratch.

PEEPS!!!!!

Oh yea! Those things have a longer shelf life than Twinkies!!
Think I still have a box of them in my toolbox from 4 years ago....

Well, I'd think that you could put Peeps in a plastic bag and suck all the air out of it with the food saver- that's what I would use the canning jars for, anyhow.

Yeah, the pastel colors are kind of silly, but chocolate is chocolate.

Scotch and wine is another good point! We don't drink, but we have a small collection of alcohol, just the same.

Hard candies aren't difficult to make from scratch.

My Grandma used to make the most excellent hard candies. I'm mostly trying to go with SHTF scenarios that would limit resources such as electricity and gas.

But store-bought candies are a sad, pale comparison to homemade.

Marshmallow peeps are best spent in the microwave with the family viewing...
