Raise your hand if you love Easter! Yup, I see you, raising your hand. Mine’s up too. Easter is my second favorite holiday (shoutout to you, Thanksgiving!) and with it quickly approaching, why not make a super cute and fun dessert?! These sweet treats are not only perfect for big groups, they’re easy to transport, and you can even get the kiddos involved when making them! Only a few ingredients needed and you can put any egg-shaped candy on top! I used M&M’s peanut butter eggs; they are so yummy and spotted to look like real eggs. I also used Cadbury mini white eggs; they are white chocolate eggs since Jason hates chocolate, any chance I get to use white chocolate is a win-win! Let’s be honest, there are endless options for egg shaped candy this time of year so choose your favorite and try this recipe!
