• Add Some Color: Easter treats should be fun and festive! Use pastel colors, sprinkles, or edible glitter to brighten up your desserts. 
• Have Fun with Shapes: Bunnies, chicks, and eggs are Easter favorites, so why not shape your treats to match? Cookie cutters, silicone molds, or simple piping tricks can help you make adorable themed desserts that everyone will love.
• Use Up Extra Easter Candy: Got leftover chocolate eggs or marshmallow peeps? Chop them up and mix them into cookies, brownies, or even milkshakes. 
• Make It a Family Activity: Baking together is a great way to make Easter even more special. Let kids help with decorating, mixing batter, or assembling treat baskets. It’s a fun tradition that creates sweet memories.
