Today, I am sharing a few fun ideas for Easter Dessert that I think you will enjoy. I love making holidays feel special for my kids. However, as a busy mom, I often run short on time. Therefore, it’s important for me to keep a few easy recipes in my back pocket… the trick is to make them look ‘over the top.’

Bird’s Nest Cookies

These bird’s nest cookies with eggs are a symbol of Spring and new life. Not only do they look cute, but it’s easy enough for the kids to pitch in. I hope that these moments with my kids in the kitchen, sitting on the counter, licking the spoon are the memories that they will remember of me as a mom.

Tip: Parchment paper is the key to baking. Not only does it prevent desserts from sticking, but it makes clean up a breeze.

Easter Basket Bites

These Easter Basket Bites are simple to make with just 3 ingredients. My grandma always makes this candy at Christmas. However, by using candy in pastel colors, they are perfect for Easter dessert, too. I use the waffle shaped pretzels to mimic the look of a woven basket: hence, the name ‘Easter basket bites.’ Cute and easy enough!
