I say this a lot, but I love making cute treats anytime there’s a holiday. It’s just fun and gets you in the holiday spirit.

If you’re the same way, and you’re deciding what to make for Easter, our list of Easy Easter Dessert Recipes will give you some fun ideas.

We made sure to keep this list focused on creative desserts that make sense on Easter only.

Pete’s favorite cake is a classic carrot cake, and that could make sense for Easter because it’s carrots (and carrots and rabbits are Easter-themed), but I felt like including those would be a little bit of a stretch.

And, if all else fails, just put whatever Easter candy the Easter bunny couldn’t fit in the baskets on a tray and call it an Easter charcuterie board.

These homemade chocolate eggs, which are filled with store-bought Easter candies, are meant to be smashed with a wooden hammer to reveal the fun surprise — then eaten, of course.

They’re a great budget-friendly alternative to buying smash eggs (which are super expensive!).

Homemade Easter Peanut Butter Eggs

Peanut butter eggs are such a classic dessert for Easter, which you can easily make at home with pantry staples.

You can use a silicone egg mold to shape these, which makes them so simple since you’re not molding or carving chocolate.

Chocolate Covered Brownie Eggs

Brownies are coated in colored chocolate to make these adorable Easter treats.

Reusing the same silicone egg mold from the peanut butter eggs means you don’t have to worry about shaping or cutting brownies into egg shapes (plus you get another recipe out of your mold).

White wafer cookies with white chocolate and green sprinkles on them, shaped like a cross, with the words "No-Bake Cross Wafer Cookies" digitally written on top.

No-Bake Cross Wafer Cookies

Wafer cookies are such a great way to create cross cookies for your Easter dessert.

Your kids can easily make these no-bake cookies with minimal adult supervision, which is the perfect way to get them excited about and involved in the holiday.
