put them out of sight???
make room for them in your daily intake?
exercise more to eat some?
I make room for them without compromising my intake and macros...so that means exercise and being careful with my intake.4 -
I share custody with my ex so I sent them back to Dad's with all their chocolate lol I have some in the pantry that are my faves but the huge basket of mediocre chocolate eggs they found left the building.2

I don't really like them, but what I would do if I did and were surrounded by them and tempted is to decide to eat them at a specific time (perhaps as a snack after dinner ever day this week, as the week after Easter). I would decide a reasonable amount to eat. And then when I saw an egg, I'd think "oh, yay, I'm going to eat that as my after dinner snack."2

Good suggestions so far. The garbage disposal is another option.0

I like this option, but I am biased. I like candy only marginally more than I'd like slamming my junk in a door.1 -
Easter (jellybeans) and Halloween (candy corn) are like crack to me. And also like crack- if you don't buy it, you don't consume it.
To me- those things come in a single serving size- the entire bag. And I don't want to spend all my calories (or the dental bills) on a bag of sugar.1 -
Chocolate tastes best when it's in egg form so I just give in and eat them all.1
-
I only eat the best ones (like mini-eggs) and ignore the waxy cheap ones. Fit a serving into my day. Put them out of sight - in the cupboard, at a minimum, not on the counter. Take things you don't want to eat and give them away at work.1

Just don't have them around. ... For me, if I bring them into the house I'm likely to open up the package sooner or later, and once that package is open I'm likely to have one candy ... and then in short order they all will be gone.!2

I don't buy any, and eat up my share of the family candy right away to get rid of them, lol.1

How many eggs do you have lying around? I just had one, ate it and went over my calorie allowance. Now it's gone, time to get back to normal! One day isn't going to make much difference.0

Most of them seem to be pretty low quality to me...not interested. UK Jelly Belly on the other hand...0

Cadbury chocolate creme egg has, I think, 140 calories.
I've had one this year. That's the first one I've ever had.
I express my support for anyone who would like to put that in a plan and move some stuff, like a couple of legs, to earn it.2 -
If they are Reese's eggs ... I must eat them1

Weigh the chocolate eggs and figure out how many calories in each. Then you can figure out a way to fit it into your calorie goals...or you can choose to go over...but at least you'll be aware of how much each egg is "costing" you in terms of calories.
My other suggestion is to throw the leftover chocolate away or give it away immediately! Sometimes removing the temptation is the only thing that works for me - lol.0 -
What kind of chocolate eggs must be known to help make any decision.
Cheap, crappy chocolate = garbage can
Anything Cadbury = make fit in my diary a little each day. YuM!2
