This collection of my favorite Easter dessert recipes includes all of the sweet, pastel-colored Easter basket treats you need to welcome spring.
My all-time favorite Easter treats? Classic, chocolate-dipped buttercream Easter eggs (although peanut butter eggs run a close second!) and egg-shaped Easter brownies. I also love fun, whimsical recipes like homemade Easter candy corn, chocolate Easter bark with mini eggs, and Easter Rice Krispie bird nest treats.
This Easter, celebrate with my sunny lemon daisy cookies, shortbread cookies with edible flowers, chewy coconut eggs, Cadbury egg cookies, floral wreath meringue cookies, and more.
