DIY Easter: food

Cream Egg Brownies

"...For those who, like me, can’t wait until the foil-wrapped eggs appear each year, I’ve got a special treat just for you.

Starting with the homemade cream egg filling. Creamy in consistency with subtle notes of vanilla, and sticky as all get out, it’s far more sophisticated than the store bought version (quicker too, I’d imagine, than cracking a dozen cadbury eggs and extracting the filling). Sandwich that between a dense and fudgy milk chocolate brownie and a milk chocolate glaze...

they would make for a perfect, indulgent finish to your Easter meal"

Resurrection Rolls

Resurrection Rolls are a delicious and meaningful tradition for Easter morning. I originally found this recipe on the internet years ago when my son was very young. Unfortunately I don't remember where, so I can't give proper credit, but Courtney has done a wonderful job of illustrating the process and explaining the meaning behind it.

Chocolate and Peanut Butter Nests

These cute little nests look yummy and simple to make. They are made with chocolate, peanut butter, chow mein noodles, and jelly beans.

Easter Bunny Bait

"...What’s bunny bait, you ask? It’s basically just popcorn tossed with vanilla candy coating, Easter M&Ms and pretzels, but I’d like to think the Easter Bunny is out there just counting the minutes until he can hop over to our house and snatch a paw full!..."

Goldfish Carrots

I chose to use Goldfish Crackers. These Easter carrots are one of the easiest crafts to make and will make your little bunny grin from ear to ear..."
