Homemade Easter treats are a great way to spend time with the family and enjoy the flavors of springtime. What constitutes an Easter treat? Shapes and colors are what we are looking for.

We want colorful eggs, chocolates shaped like bunnies, and just beautifully colored snacks that fit right into our celebrations. There are many DIY Easter treats you can choose from, and each of them brings the season to life.

For example, simple fruit juice is fantastic because it is part of the season, or something more colorful, like a puppy chow with Easter sprinkles.

Not to mention, making these Easter recipes with the family gives us an awesome Easter activity to do with our kids. Entertaining, cooking for, and serving your friends and loved ones is so much fun!

It’s also a lot easier if you have the right tools on hand. I survive the holidays in the kitchen by having my stand mixer, apron, baking sheets, cookware, serving utensils, extra serving dishes, and flatware all ready to go!

Making it Tradition

Holidays are filled with traditions, and Easter is no different. We celebrate Easter in a few different ways, like attending church, having BBQs, and hunting for Easter eggs.

Don’t forget about the Easter bunny stopping by to drop off Easter baskets as well. But what makes the holidays even better are the traditions we have all to ourselves, within our families.

A Taste of History

Did you know that the bunny and eggs may have come from Germany? The first record of an Easter bunny is in the 1700s. German immigrants came to Pennsylvania and would celebrate Easter with a being called “Osterhase”, which we now know as the Easter bunny.

Their kids would make nests for the bunny to lay colorful eggs in and leave chocolate, candy, and other gifts behind. Over time, the tradition spread across the country and adapted.

We changed out the nests with baskets, and there was even a time when it was commonplace to leave out carrots for the bunny. Here’s another fun fact: The first White House Easter egg roll was made all the way back in 1878.

Easter Treats and More

Easter is a holiday that has changed and adapted over the years in many ways. This time, it is your chance to adapt the holiday to your family.

Of course, there are some things that won’t be changed, like the religious aspects of the holiday. But that doesn’t mean the way you celebrate it needs to always stay the same.
