I think this candy hits on all your points, Professor!
This is an egg (representing birth), made of tasty chocolate (the loving teachings), filled with an unpleasant surprise (betrayal), which causes unimaginable pain and suffering and makes the consumer wish he would die. But eventually the pain fades (resurrection), and the consumer can finally enjoy other foods again, which will taste far better than they ever did before, because they aren't soaked in Death Sauce (ascension to paradise).
Finally, the shell, white, and yolk are three parts which only constitute an egg when combined together -- just like the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
