There’s no doubt that when it comes to Easter, bunnies (and their fluffy rear-ends) will always have a special place in all our hearts. This year, however, we’ve noticed that chicks are having a really big moment. And we’re totally here for it! From adorable doughnut pops to creative slice-and-bake cookies, here are all the chick treats that are ruffling our feathers — and taste buds — this Easter.

Not only does this colossal creation look exactly like a massive Peep, thanks to its crunchy outer layer of sanding sugar it tastes just like one, too!

Add a fun surprise to your kid's Easter basket by filling it with a few of these sweet cereal treats. When forming these chicks, add a dash of vegetable oil to your hands to keep the marshmallow and cereal mixture from sticking to your fingers.

The world may never know which came first — the chicken or the egg — but we do know that these whimsical cupcakes are delicious, nonetheless. With their mouthwatering marshmallow frosting and shredded coconut topping, we wouldn't be surprised if you start making them year-round.
