2. Easter Carrots
These Easter carrots make delicious Easter desserts for you and your friends/family! They’re easy to make with only three ingredients. The recipe uses vanilla almond bark, strawberries, and an orange gel-based or oil-based food coloring. Microwave the vanilla almond bark, stirring halfway through, for about one minute. Stir in your orange food coloring until you get a good orange color that you like. Dip your strawberries in the melted, orange bark and place them on parchment paper. If you want to go the extra mile, use a wooden pick or such to draw a few lines on the strawberries to better resemble a carrot, then let them cool completely. The leaves from the strawberries work perfectly to give it that carrot look also! You can even substitute the vanilla almond bark for white chocolate.

3. Nutter Butter Chicks & Bunnies
No-bake Easter desserts make great staples for the holidays because they’re easy to make, look festive, and taste delicious all in one! This recipe uses Nutter Butter cookies (the ones shaped like peanuts) to make some creative Easter desserts. You can either make chicks or bunnies depending on how you decorate them. The main difference is the colored candy you choose for the chocolate melt (yellow or white). You use candy eyes, as expected you would, as well as colored frosting depending on the Easter animal you’re making. So if you want chicks you need orange frosting or if you prefer bunnies then you need pink and black frosting. Dip your Nutter Butters in the chocolate melt and let them dry on some parchment paper. Place the eyes on them before they dry completely though! Then use your frosting to decorate your cookies into some tasty and great looking Easter desserts!

Unfortunately, it’s not one of those Easter desserts you can eat immediately as you’ll need to let it chill for about two hours after preparing it. But trust me, it’s worth the wait.
