Peanut butter eggs are popping up in central Pennsylvania.

As the Lenten season begins, church and other groups invest countless hours rolling and dipping hundreds of thousands of the candies to sell as fund-raisers.

Peanut butter eggs -- as well as their cousins, coconut, buttercream and maple walnut eggs -- are addictive. Everyone knows you can't just eat one.

But as beloved a spring treat as they are, not all peanut butter eggs were created equal.

You can find them for sale at beauty shops, mom and pop stores and auto mechanics often individually wrapped in cellophane bags for about a $1 a piece, but where, specifically, do you seek them out?
