Looking to add some local sweetness to that Easter basket? Here are my top six Easter picks:

Sweet Find #1

Before you go reaching into your kid's basket for a Peep, consider a more sophisticated treat from Suckerborne.

The Darien-based lollipop company is not your average candy company. Pops are geared to an older crowd, and many come spiked with a generous kick of alcohol. The booze burns off, but the flavor lingers. It's an adult twist on a playful classic that owner and creative director Megan Ferrell has mastered.

"It sounds cheesy to say, but people smile when they put a lolly in their mouth," she said.

The all-natural pops come in a number of flavors including a lemon voda martini MeanyTini (my favorite), Key Lime Mint (with a splash of rum), and Ferrell's most-popular pop, Brown Sugar Maple Bacon (yes, bacon).

"The bacon sells about two to one," Ferrell said.

Suckerborne suckers are currently sold online. To get these treats in time for Easter Sunday, head up to Silvermine Market in New Canaan.

Suckers sold individually at $2 a pop.
