Bunnies, Chicks and More

The best part of any holiday is spending time with your nearest and dearest. And, when it comes to your special little ones, there’s no better activity than baking. It’s just as fun to make and decorate a sweet treat as it is to eat it, so you’ll have no problem gathering your whole family together for some chocolate-covered, candy-loaded fun. That’s why we love this collection of recipes. Kids of all ages will have a ball making spring-themed cupcakes, chick-shaped cereal treats, bird’s nest cookies and more. If you’re anything like us you’re going to want to make everything in this roundup. If you need help narrowing it down, we recommend these festive marshmallow bunnies. We make them on a lollipop stick so they’re perfect for keeping little hands (and everyone's Easter best) free of melty chocolate. Plus, they make a cute gift for friends and family who are visiting.

Sprouting Carrot Chocolate Cupcakes

Looking for two ways to impress your guests this Easter? These sprouting carrot cupcakes are sure to do the trick.

And be sure not to discard the cake pieces you cut out — you'll want to use them to create your crumbly and fudgey faux-soil topping.
