In my mind, Easter means a warm spring day, daffodils blooming, and eating brunch outside on the porch. This years’ Easter might look drastically different: snow on the ground and temperatures in the 30s. Despite the colder weather outside, your kitchen will still be a nice and cozy place to make Easter treats.
If you are like me then you will have a hard time resisting all the Easter candy in the grocery stores, especially Peeps and Reese’s peanut butter eggs. When it comes to Peeps, I have zero self-control.
I found three Easter-themed recipes that look scrumptious and easy, and some incorporate Easter candy. Here are the recipes for Cadbury Egg Cupcakes, Carrot Strawberries, Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg-Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies.
Cadbury Egg Cupcakes: This recipe places everyone’s favorite Cadbury crème eggs inside chocolate cupcakes and tops them with a Robin’s egg blue almond frosting. This recipe calls for homemade cupcakes but I am sure substituting cake mix cupcakes works just as well.

Carrot Strawberries: Classic chocolate covered strawberries with a twist. These strawberries are cleverly disguised at carrots thanks to orange dipping chocolate.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Egg-Stuffed Peanut Butter Cookies: Reese’s are my all time favorite candy, so these peanut butter cookies stuffed with Reese’s look amazing. The cookie dough has only a couple ingredients and looks really easy to whip up.
