Easter is just around the corner which means it’s time to start cooking! I love finding creative and cute ways to make treats for my loved ones. Finding recipes that correspond with the holiday theme is a plus. I’ve gathered together some of the best recipes that incorporate bunnies, chicks, and all things easter.

Peeps are good, but coconut covered Peeps are much better. Serene at House of Yumm posted the recipe for these cute little guys. You just dip Peeps in frosting and roll them in coconut. You can use frosting to draw the eyes and nose. Putting them on a stick can be a great way to serve and display them!

Pretzels are always a good idea. Especially dipped in cake batter frosting and rainbow sprinkles. Ashlee Marie posted the tutorial for these lovely pretzel sticks that are perfect for Easter. Not only are they tasty, they look great in a jar on your table. Decorating and dessert all in one!

These cute little Easter basket treats are also made out of Rice Krispies. The nest shaped can be formed by molding the warm treats to the outside of a muffin tin. Once the treats have cooled, fill them up with your family’s favorite candies!
