Strands #413
“On the hunt”

Hi Strands fans. Despite it being rather obvious when you remember what day it is (happy Easter!), I actually lucked out when I connected TOYS in the top right without thinking.
When I saw BUNNY spelt backwards directly below it, I realized that, of course, this was about Easter, and duly connected EGGS in the top left.
CHOCOLATE in the bottom right came next, and thanks to my consumption of American TV, I was aware of PEEPS in the bottom left. BOOK was above it, which I can't say I particularly associate with Easter, but there we are.
I struggled a bit with the spangram, but when I realized that "easter" wasn't connected with CANDY, it became easier. With the latter isolated on its own, I connected the remaining letters to spell EASTERBASKET and finish the puzzle.
