Bunny Butt Cupcakes
These adorable cupcakes are sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike! Start by baking your favorite cupcakes and frosting them with fluffy white icing.

These cute treats will add a whimsical touch to your Easter dessert table.
Spring Veggie Platter
Balance out the sweet treats with a colorful and healthy spring veggie platter. Arrange an assortment of fresh veggies like cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, baby carrots, and snap peas on a large platter. Serve with a creamy dip like hummus or ranch dressing for a
refreshing and nutritious snack that celebrates the flavors of the season.
Easter Egg Fruit Pizza
Put a fruity twist on a classic dessert with an Easter egg fruit pizza! Start by baking a sugar cookie crust in the shape of an egg and letting it cool completely. Then, spread a layer of sweetened cream cheese or Greek yogurt on top and arrange colorful fruit slices in the shape of Easter eggs. Think strawberries, kiwis, blueberries, and pineapple. This vibrant and healthy dessert is as beautiful as it is delicious.
Peep Rice Krispie Treats
Give traditional Rice Krispie treats a festive Easter twist by adding everyone’s favorite marshmallow Peeps! Simply melt marshmallows and butter together in a saucepan, then stir in Rice Krispies cereal until well coated. Press the mixture into a greased baking dish and top with rows of colorful Peeps. Let them cool and set before cutting into squares for a fun and festive Easter treat that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
Easter Bunny Fruit Salad
Create a cute and whimsical Easter bunny fruit salad that doubles as a centerpiece for your table! Start by carving a large watermelon into the shape of a bunny head and hollowing it out.

This adorable fruit salad is as fun to make as it is to eat!
Easter Bunny Trail Mix
