25 Fun Easter Treats the Whole Family Will Enjoy
Want to hear a fun fact? According to the company that produces Peeps, around 1.5 BILLION Peeps are consumed during the Easter season. That’s a lot of marshmallows!
Now don’t get us wrong, we love Peeps over here, but if you’re looking to add some variety to your Easter snack menu, we’ve got you covered. Below we’ve gathered all of our favorite Easter treats from our own recipe archives, as well as some of our favorite Easter goodies from around the web.
Our Favorite Easter Treats
We haven’t released a ton of Easter treat recipes ourselves, but we do have a handful of really good ones that we’d like to share! Starting with one of our all-time favorites…
1. Easter Egg Cookie Dough Truffles
I don’t know about you, but I love snacking on cookie dough. The problem is, it’s not always safe to eat raw cookie dough if there are eggs involved.
Luckily, this recipe is completely safe and egg-free, and it still tastes just like regular cookie dough! Plus, with the white chocolate coating, these egg truffles taste out of this world! You can get the kids to help you decorate them too 😉
2. Reese’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs
Another one of my favorite snacks? Reese’s peanut butter cups! Making these homemade egg versions is actually pretty easy and they taste just like the real thing.
3. Bunny Bars
Speaking of super easy easter treats, these bunny bars only require 4 ingredients and take only 5 minutes to prep! Feel free to fill them with a variety of chocolates too, you don’t have to just use M&Ms.
4. Carrot Cake Roll
Ok, this recipe definitely takes a bit more time and care, but the end result is pretty amazing both look wise and taste-wise. Also, there are no special skills required for this recipe. It’s actually a lot easier to make than you might think.
This may not be your regular every-day Easter treat, but it’s a great dessert to serve after Easter dinner.
5. Lemonies
Lemonies aren’t exactly Easter themed, but they’re one of our favorite Spring treats. They’re refreshing and flavorful and, if you want, you can plop a little mini egg on top of each one to make them more Easter-e 😉

These colorful crinkle cookies from Two Sisters are super colorful for spring/Easter time and they only take around 20 minutes to make! If you’re having an egg dying session with the kids these might be the perfect snack to include.
7. No-Bake Mini Cheesecakes
These colorful no-bake cheesecakes may look complicated, but they actually only take around 40 minutes to make! And man do they ever look delicious.
Elizabeth from Sugar Hero says they have a soft and fluffy texture that’s a bit different than your average cheesecake, in a good way.
8. Carrot Strawberries
These little Easter treats are just too clever! At first, they really look like mini carrots but upon the second glance, you realize they’re strawberries covered in orange chocolate.
Another bonus with this snack idea is that it incorporates some healthy fruit 🙂 Thanks for sharing, Lil Luna!

Jo-anna from A Pretty Life in the Suburbs shows us how to keep things simple with these super easy Easter sugar cookies. The cookies almost look like little nests for the mini eggs!

11. Easter Basket Cookie Cups
If you’ve seen our s’mores cookie cups recipe, these easter basket cookies from Lil Luna are very similar! Just instead of s’mores, you’re going to be topping the cups with a fun colorful frosting and peanut butter M&Ms. Yum!
12. Dipped Oreos
It doesn’t really get much easier than this! These spring-themed Oreos from Mom Does Reviews take only 10 minutes to make and they can be customized in so many different ways. And who doesn’t like Oreos?
13. Bunny Chow
This Bunny Chow recipe from Crafty Morning is another simple recipe that is perfect for springtime. It’s a great one to snack on throughout the day as well! Just leave a bowl out on Easter and let your kids/family snack away!
14. Easter Crack
I’m not sure if this recipe is called Easter Crack because crackers are involved in it or because it’s super addictive…either way is correct! This is a white chocolate toffee bark-style recipe from Passion for Savings and it looks oh so good.
PS: If you like bark recipes like this, try our salted caramel pretzel bark!
15. Easter Egg Sugar Cookies
These are SO perfect for Easter. While you’re decorating regular eggs you can have the kids help out with decorating these sugar cookie eggs as well. Head over to Ahead Of Thyme for the full recipe.

17. Robins Egg No-Bake Cheesecake
Here’s another no-bake cheesecake, this time from Barbara Bakes. This recipe incorporates malted milk eggs for a colorful and fun Easter-themed look.
18. Carrot Snack Bag
These have got to be the easiest Easter treat bags ever! All you need to do is grab a disposable cake icing bag and fill it with your kid’s favorite orange snacks.
Some ideas could include cheese puffs/curls/or balls, goldfish, Cheezits, etc! Thanks for the idea, Skip to My Lou!
19. Coconut Macaroon Nests
If you like the easter egg nest ideas, here’s one from Inspired By Charm and it’s for all the coconut lovers out there! These are pretty straightforward to make and can be filled with your favorite egg candies. Plus, the eggs are held down with a bit of white chocolate. Yum!

Ready to take things to the next level? This Easter Bunny Cream Tart from Love Swah definitely takes more time than some of the other Easter treats on this list, but wow is it impressive!
24. Homemade Chocolate Marshmallow Eggs
These eggs actually involve making your own homemade marshmallows, which isn’t necessarily too difficult, but it’s a sticky process! Definitely worth it to get the kids involved in the making of these 🙂 Get the full tutorial at Mel’s Kitchen Cafe.
25. Cinnamon Sugar Bunny Twists
Last but not least, I had to include these yummy looking pastry bunny twists! Autumn from It’s Always Autumn says they’re light and flakey, and they’re topped with a bit of frosting too, which sounds heavenly.
