This Homemade Easter Candy make great sweet snacks for the best Easter Treats! When Easter rolls around each year, the kids can think of only two things: Easter bunnies and Easter baskets. Well, it's more like what is IN those Easter baskets that they're so obsessed with, isn't it?
I might be well into my 30's...ugh, I don't want to think too much about that...but my mom still makes me an Easter basket every year. I know, I know, Easter baskets are for kids! But as long as she is willing to spoil me with Easter candy, I am willing to accept them with a big smile and a thank you!
Why we love this Homemade Easter Candy
You're never too old for Easter candy - or any candy, for that matter. But I've found as I've gotten older that I have just as much fun making Easter candies for Angeline and the kids in the family as I do buying the store bought variety.
This homemade Easter candy recipe is perfect for bringing the kids into the kitchen during one of those lazy days during Spring break and is a sure fire way to get them excited about Easter too!
