Fun Treats to Make with Your Family This Easter!
Spring has sprung, and Easter is right around the corner! What better way to celebrate the season than by getting creative in the kitchen with your family? From no-bake options to baking classics, here are some fun and easy Easter treats that are perfect for creating memories with your loved ones:
1. Peeps in Disguise: Transform those classic marshmallow chicks into a fun treat. Dip them in melted candy melts of various colors and add sprinkles! You can create bunnies, chicks, ladybugs, or even little monsters using candy eyes and edible markers.
2. Nest Egg Rice Krispie Treats: These adorable treats are sure to be a hit with the kids. Use pre-made rice krispie treats, shape them into nests, then add jelly bean or candied chocolate "eggs" for a colorful touch.
3. Carrot Patch Cupcakes: Bake your favorite carrot cake cupcake recipe or use a box mix for convenience. Frost them with cream cheese frosting and pipe orange frosting carrots on top. Add a few green sprinkles for some grassy details, creating a delightful little carrot patch on each cupcake.
4. Bunny Bait: This fun snack is perfect for Easter baskets or a sweet afternoon treat. Combine popcorn, pretzels, dried fruits, nuts, and Easter-themed candies like jelly beans or chocolate bunnies. Don't forget to package it in a cute container decorated with bunny ears!
5. Easter Egg Cookies: These cookies are simple to decorate and simple to make. Use your favorite sugar cookie recipe or a store-bought cookie dough. Roll out the dough and cut out egg shapes. Bake according to the recipe, and then let the cookies cool completely. Then decorate! Add frosting, sprinkles, whatever you want! This one’s probably my favorite Easter treat to make!
Bonus Tip: Get the kids involved in decorating! Whether it's dipping Peeps, adding sprinkles to cupcakes, or arranging the trail mix, allowing them to personalize the treats adds to the fun and creates lasting memories.
These are just a few of the yummy treats you can make with your family this Easter but there are so many more recipes and ideas everywhere, so have fun with it! Happy Easter!
