You can make filling Easter baskets even more fun for you and your kids by preparing Easter candy recipes, including marshmallow chicks and sugar bunnies.

Decide which recipes you plan on making well in advance of the big day. With all of the hustle and bustle going on, it’s easy to leave the baking until the day before. Unfortunately, that usually ends with you being exhausted. Instead, set a day or two aside before the holiday, and do your baking while the children are away at school or when you have a moment to yourself.

Because Easter gift baskets would look bare without marshmallow animals in them, you may want to rediscover the easy art of marshmallow making this year. Once your marshmallows are done, you can break out the colored sugar sprinkles and get to work decorating them in various pastel colors. After that, maybe you’d like to try your hand at making powdered sugar bunnies.

Gourmet Candy
Marshmallow animals might not be considered gourmet candy by most adults, but what child wouldn’t agree? While it’s exceedingly easier to purchase a package of Peeps at a store during the Easter holiday, you will enjoy making your own marshmallows and decorating your own chicks.
