Longtime customers know to put in their orders early for chocolate Easter eggs from Pease’s Candy Store in Springfield. During the store’s 65 years of operation, chocolate-covered strawberries in the spring, caramel apples in the fall, and cremes, Meltaways and Raggedy Ann’s all year round have made Pease’s a popular destination for people with a sweet tooth.
