What do you get when you mix Easter candy with a Halloween theme? You get these gruesome Zombie Bunny Lollipops from ThinkGeek.
Made to look like dead and rotting bunny rabbits, these candies are only for those brave enough to put roadkill in their mouths. With their partly skinned and partly rotten appearance, these undead critters are delectably gory. It is possible to get sick of eating so many chocolate eggs and chocolate rabbits throughout all of Easter, so it's best to break up all the sweet cocoa products with some sugary suckers every once in a while. For those who are sick of the girly pastel colors that plague this holiday, these lollipops come in blood red and mold green.
These zombie-inspired Easter candy lollipops taste like cotton candy.
