Simple & Fun Easter Treats for Kids


Easter is a wonderful time to create special memories with your little ones, and what better way to do that than with some easy, budget-friendly treats? These ideas are simple enough for kids to help with and delicious enough to become family favorites.

1. Bunny Trail Mix

A no-bake, mix-and-match snack that’s perfect for little hands!

• Ingredients: Popcorn, mini marshmallows, pastel M&Ms, pretzels, and yogurt-covered raisins.

• Instructions: Mix everything together in a big bowl and serve in festive cups or treat bags.


This sweet recipe from Together as Family is perfect for everyone and you can even customize it to suit your family.

2. Easter Nests

These adorable treats look like little bird nests!

• Ingredients: 3 cups crispy chow mein noodles, 1 cup melted chocolate or butterscotch chips, mini chocolate eggs.

• Instructions: Mix noodles with melted chocolate, shape into nests on wax paper, and place mini eggs inside before they harden.

This recipe from A Moms Impression is the exact one I love to use and it’s perfect for this treat. 

3. Bunny Bark

A colorful and customizable sweet treat!

• Ingredients: White chocolate, sprinkles, pastel candy melts, and mini marshmallows.

• Instructions: Melt white chocolate, spread it on parchment paper, drizzle colored candy melts, and top with sprinkles and marshmallows. Once set, break into pieces!


4. Easter Egg Fruit Pops

A healthy alternative to candy!

• Ingredients: Watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, and popsicle sticks.

• Instructions: Cut fruit into egg shapes using cookie cutters, insert popsicle sticks, and chill before serving.

I love this recipe for Slow Melt Popsicles, perfect for messy little ones and can be made into any shape. 

5. Peep S’mores

A fun Easter twist on a classic treat!

• Ingredients: Graham crackers, chocolate squares, and Peeps marshmallows.

• Instructions: Layer a Peep and chocolate on a graham cracker, microwave for 10 seconds, and top with another cracker.

You can even make these delicious brownies and top them with peeps instead of regular marshmallows.

Let them dry and take the card stock and fold them into cards. Apply a bright colour to each ...
