KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A symbol of Christianity that sits atop church steeples, dangles from necks and hangs on walls is finding a new home -- in the mouths of the faithful.

In addition to its usual chocolate Easter bunnies, candy maker Russell Stover is also offering milk chocolate crosses this year.

The nation's third-largest candy maker is selling the six-inch crosses under its Pangburn's brand in thousands of stores, with a focus on the Hispanic market.

The chocolate cross is adorned with a floral bouquet and filled with caramel made of goat's milk -- popular in Latin America. Its packaging features Spanish more prominently than English.

A spokesman for the Roman Catholic diocese of Bridgeport, Connecticut, finds the new product insulting. He says, "The cross should be venerated, not eaten."

Easter is the second-biggest holiday for candy producers, behind Halloween.

Perhaps milk chocolate penises would be more palatable for Fr. O’Malley and the boys in the rectory?

Okay, which of us is gonna be the first to distribute these tokens of good will to the protesters outside that hospice in Florida?

We could attach cards that say, "Easter Blessings From the Governor".

And why does the body of christ have to taste so bland? Where are those flavored wafers everyone was talking about?

If nothing else, they'd sure be a hit at the White House.

I prefer a psychedelic Hey-Sus.

Why wait for the "Rapture" (TM ® ) when you can fly today?

Hehehe! I love it! [Looking forward to an tango with you in Mendoza]

Well it's the only thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul...

I guess we should be glad they didn't put Jesus on the cross, or make Chocolate Jesuses.

I saw these crosses at my local Walgreens. I'm telling you, I don't think I've been this offended in a while.
