Whether you’re making the cutest little chocolate creations or playing with fun icing styles, DIY Easter treats are the most fun you can have with your oven. Plus, homemade treats taste better, so give them to someone you love. That someone can totally be you, by the way.
Making Your Own Chocolate Easter Eggs
What is Easter without the perfect excuse to make a decadent little treat now and then? Chocolate Easter eggs are simple to make and absolutely nothing short of delightful. Melt your favorite kind of chocolate (milk, dark, or white) and pour it into an egg mold. If you’re feeling extra fancy, sneak some cashews, nuts, or sea salt for something extra to go with the chocolate.
Once your chocolate Easter eggs have set, let the decorating begin! You can go with colorful icing, edible glitter, or tiny sprinkles. You can also fill the eggs with caramel, marshmallow, or a little chocolate bunny. This one is fun with kids and great as an Easter gift.
Fun Cookie Decorating Ideas
If you love decorating cookies, this one’s for you! Easter is a great time to play with bright colors and fun designs. Any old sugar cookie recipe will do, so mix royal icing and pipe away. Feel free to use pastel colors for a soft fairy garden feel or neon for something equally fun.
If you’ve never done this before, all you need is a great sugar cookie recipe and some royal icing. Add some sprinkles, colored sugar, nonpareils, or even candy eyes. It doesn’t have to be perfect. All it needs to be is fun!
DIY Chocolate Bark for a Sweet Twist
Chocolate bark is the quickest and simplest way to get a little chocolate fix. This recipe is perfect for the young and older kids, and even the grown-ups. It looks beautiful, has a fun texture, and tastes great. Melt your favorite chocolate and spread it over a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Top it with all your favorite things, like mini marshmallows, nonpareils, and a caramel drizzle. Let the bark set in the fridge. Then, pop it into your mouth or chop it up and serve. The combination of rich chocolate and the soft marshmallows is simply marvelous.
Create Edible Easter Baskets
Why not take it up a notch and make edible Easter baskets this year? This irresistible and thrilling task of making edible Easter baskets starts with making some sugar cookies and shaping these yummy goodies like a basket. Once they are baked, simply add frosting to the basket’s handles and stuff them with your desired candies or homemade chocolate eggs. Those lovely Easter baskets create a fun activity for Easter giving.
A Creative Spin on Classic Easter Treats
Easter calls for a fun and exciting way of making some goodies. Besides sweets and candies, surprise them with some baked goodies with a twist.
