Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs

These homemade peanut butter eggs taste just like the ones in your Easter basket… but better because they’re made in your kitchen. 🙌

You only need 5 ingredients:
• ½ cup creamy peanut butter
• ¼ cup salted butter, softened
• 1 ⅓ cups powdered sugar
• 10 oz milk chocolate melting wafers

Simplified Directions (so easy!):

1️⃣ Mix softened butter + peanut butter until smooth.
2️⃣ Mix in powdered sugar (it’ll look crumbly — just use your hands to press it together).
3️⃣ Scoop about 2 tablespoons, roll into a ball, then gently press into a silicone egg shaped mold or shape into an egg and place on a sheet pan.
4️⃣ Chill 1 hour in the fridge (or 5–10 minutes in the freezer until firm).
5️⃣ Melt chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring each time.
6️⃣ Dip each egg in chocolate, place back on parchment.
7️⃣ Chill 10 minutes until set. Drizzle extra chocolate on top if you’re feeling fancy. ✨

That’s it! Soft, creamy peanut butter centers with a thick chocolate shell — just like Reese’s but homemade. 🤍

Store at room temp for 2 days or keep in the fridge for longer (if they last that long 😉).

Outdoor Large Carrot Easter Decorations

The easiest Easter yard decoration 🥕🐰

Make giant carrots growing in your yard in about 30 seconds!

Just place low-profile orange sports training cones in your yard and stick a plastic fern pick in the top. That’s it! Instantly it looks like oversized carrots popping right out of the ground.

They’re inexpensive, weatherproof, and SO cute lining a walkway, flower bed, or your front yard for Easter.

Tip: Add a few at different angles so they look like a whole carrot patch growing in your yard!

Peeps Sunflower Cake

Make a Sunflower Peeps Cake!

Bake your favorite chocolate cake and frost it with chocolate frosting. Then arrange yellow Peeps around the outer edge of the cake to create sunflower petals. Finish by sprinkling chocolate chips in the center for the sunflower seeds.

That’s it! It looks like a giant sunflower and takes just minutes to decorate.

Bunny Butt Cookies

Bake your favorite sugar cookies and let them cool completely. Frost each cookie with white icing, then cut large marshmallows in half. Place three halves sticky-side down on each cookie — two for the bunny feet and one on top for the fluffy tail.

Use pink frosting to pipe little dots and a center pad onto the feet to make them extra adorable… and that’s it!

Easter Bunny Pikachu Peeps

Peepachu-if you will. 😆 How cute is this little Easter mashup?! 🐰⚡️

Turn classic bunny Peeps into the most adorable little Pikachu treats using food grade markers!

All you need:

• Yellow bunny marshmallow Peeps
• Black and red food-safe markers
• Optional-lollipop sticks

How to make them:

1. Lay your Peeps flat on a clean surface.
2. Use a black food marker to draw on big round eyes and the tips of Pikachu’s ears.
3. Add a tiny nose and smiling mouth.
4. Finish with red circles on the cheeks for that signature electric glow.
5. Add a lollipop stick for easy transport.

That’s it! No baking, no mess — just a quick, creative treat the kids will LOVE helping with. These would be so cute tucked into Easter baskets, displayed on a dessert board, or used as cupcake toppers.

It’s giving Easter meets gamer kid era and I’m here for it. 💛

Easter Blossom Cookies

Just imagine your Easter table with these pastel beauties! Easter Blossom cookies are similar to Peanut Butter Blossom cookies; which we love to make around the holiday season. They really put you in the mood for blooming flowers and warmer weather.

Easter Blossoms are a buttery sugar cookie, rather than a peanut butter cookie, but have that signature Hershey Kiss on top.

Peeps S’mores Dip

Peeps S’mores Dip is officially my new favorite easy dessert 😍🔥

All you need is:
✨ 1 bag chocolate chips
✨ Marshmallow Peeps
✨ Graham crackers for dipping

Pour the chocolate chips into a baking dish and spread them out evenly. Top with marshmallow Peeps (as many as you can fit 😉).

Easy Bunny Cookies

If you need a last-minute treat that looks adorable but takes basically zero effort… this is it 🙌

✨ Easy Bunny Cookies ✨

Here’s how:
1️⃣ Bake store-bought refrigerated sugar cookies (because we love a shortcut 👏).
2️⃣ As soon as they come out of the oven, gently press one pastel M&M into the center.
3️⃣ Turn two more M&Ms on their sides and press them above the center one to look like bunny ears.

That’s it! The warmth of the cookie helps the candies stick perfectly. Let them cool and you’ve got the cutest little bunny faces 🐣💕

All you need:
🧁 White frosted cupcakes

Beach Towel Bunny

How cute is this little bunny! It’s easily made from a beach towel and perfect for a summer themed Easter basket.

Brownie “Deviled” Eggs

Brownie “Deviled” Eggs are the chocolatey twist on the classic — and they are SO fun to make!

Here’s how to do it:

🥚 Prepare boxed brownie batter according to package directions.
🥚 Spoon the batter into an egg-shaped mold.
🥚 Bake according to the 9×9-inch pan directions on the box — but add a couple extra minutes since the mold is deeper.

As soon as they come out of the oven (while they’re still warm!), use a teaspoon — I used a ½ tablespoon — to gently press an indent into the center of each brownie “egg.”

Let them cool completely so they set up perfectly.

✨ Fill the indents with frosting, whipped cream, no bake cheesecake, or even ice cream.
✨ Top with Easter sprinkles.
✨ Serve on a platter just like deviled eggs for the cutest dessert table moment!

They’re rich, chocolatey, festive, and guaranteed to make everyone do a double take!

Here’s where I got the egg molds

🧈 Place 6 tablespoons sliced butter evenly on top
🔥 Bake at 400° for 8 minutes

As soon as they come out of the oven, gently mix everything together until combined (don’t overmix — you want them soft and gooey!).

Press into the pan, let cool, and cut into squares.

Colored Marshmallows

Forget eggs 🥚❌
We’re coloring marshmallows this year… and I may never go back! This is the social media post that landed me on the CBS News in 2025!

If you’d like to check out the segment, click here!

This is SO easy, so fun for kids, less expensive, and way less fragile than eggs. Plus you can eat your art when you’re done 😍

👇 Here’s how to do it:

You’ll need:
• Large or extra large marshmallows
• Liquid food coloring
• Water
• Cups
• Toothpicks
• Styrofoam (or something similar) to stick the marshmallows in to dry
• Optional: brand new, never-used paintbrushes

How to color marshmallows:
1️⃣ Fill cups halfway with water. Add food coloring to each cup and mix well.
2️⃣ Insert a toothpick into a marshmallow and dip into your color of choice.
✨ The longer you submerge it, the more vibrant the color!
3️⃣ Stick the toothpicked marshmallow into the styrofoam to dry — make sure the bottom doesn’t touch or it won’t dry completely.
4️⃣ Let dry 30–45 minutes. They’re ready when they’re dry and no longer sticky or tacky to the touch.

💡 Want them multicolored? Dip half, let dry completely, then dip the other side in a different color.

🎨 You can even use the colored water to paint designs on top (just be sure to use brand new paintbrushes that have never been used with paint!).

Now enjoy them as-is, make colorful s’mores, or chop them into Rice Krispie treats for the cutest Easter twist 🐣🌈

Fruit Salad Egg Platter

Turn fresh fruit into a giant decorated Easter egg on a 15×20 sheet tray — it’s easier than it looks and makes the prettiest brunch centerpiece!

What You’ll Need:

Grapes, mandarin oranges, sliced apples (tossed in lemon juice), kiwi, berries, cookie cutters, and a 15×20 sheet pan.

How to Make It:

1. Prep the fruit – Wash, dry, peel, and slice everything. Toss apples in lemon juice to prevent browning.
2. Outline the egg – On your sheet tray, use grapes or blueberries to create a large egg shape in the center.
3. Fill & decorate – Arrange different fruits inside the outline in stripes, color blocks, zig-zags, or polka dots. Keep the fruit packed tightly so it looks full and vibrant.
4. Add cute details – Use cookie cutters to shape apples or kiwi into flowers or fun accents and place them on top.
5. Chill & serve – Refrigerate until ready to serve. Best assembled a few hours before your event.

Bunny Bags

Skip the store-bought treat bags — these homemade bunny bags take minutes to make and are SO adorable for Easter baskets, classroom parties, or neighbor gifts!

Here’s how to make them 👇

What You Need:

• Brown or white paper lunch bags
• Scissors
• Ribbon or twine
• Easter grass
• Candy & small goodies

1. Fold the bag in half (front to back) so it lays flat.
2. Draw a half circle at the top of the folded side — this will create the bunny ears.
3. Cut along your line. When you unfold the top, you’ll have two bunny ears!
4. Fill the bag with Easter grass and goodies.
5. Pinch the bag in the center (right below the ears) and tie tightly with ribbon or twine. This creates the bunny “head” shape.

Colored Deviled Eggs

If you want your deviled eggs to double as table décor this Easter… this is it . We’re dyeing the actual egg whites in soft pastel colors before filling them!

• 12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
• Food coloring (pink, blue, purple, yellow, green)
• White vinegar
• Water
• Small cups or bowls
• Paper towels

How to Make Them:

1️⃣ Boil & Slice
Hard boil your eggs, peel them, then slice in half lengthwise. Gently remove the yolks and set aside for your filling.

2️⃣ Make Dye Cups
Fill cups halfway with water. Add:

• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• Several drops of food coloring
  Stir well. (Use fewer drops for soft pastels!)

3️⃣ Color the Egg Whites
Place the empty egg whites into the dye.
Let sit 5–10 minutes depending on how vibrant you want them.

4️⃣ Dry
Remove and place on paper towels to dry completely. Pat gently if needed.

5️⃣ Fill & Serve
Make your favorite deviled egg filling, pipe it back into the pastel egg whites, and serve!

Empty Tomb Donuts

Empty Tomb Donuts — A Sweet Way to Share the Easter Story

This simple Easter treat is such a meaningful (and delicious!) way to help little ones understand the story of the empty tomb.

All you need are donuts and a few minutes.

What You’ll Need:

• Large glazed donuts
• Donut holes
• Plate or platter
• Small paper & toothpick for a sign

How to Make Empty Tomb Donuts:

1️⃣ Cut a large glazed donut in half.
Place one half cut-side down on a plate so it looks like a small cave or tomb.

2️⃣ Add the stone.
Place a donut hole just off to the side to represent the stone being rolled away.

3️⃣ Make a sign.
Write “He is Risen” on a small piece of paper and attach it to a toothpick. Insert it gently into the top of the donut.

Such a simple visual to show children that the tomb was empty — and why we celebrate Easter.
