No-Bake Desserts to Make Your Easter a Breeze
Easter is almost here, and that means we’ve been dreaming about our favorite Easter foods like deviled eggs and baked ham pretty much constantly. But if there’s one thing that can knock those savory seasonal favorites out of our head for more daydreaming, it’s Easter candies, sweets, and desserts. From mini chocolate eggs to solid chocolate bunnies, the candy this time of year is unparalleled, but sometimes we do want to serve a dessert that’s a little more special than just setting out a platter of store-bought candy.
That’s where these no-bake Easter dessert recipes come in handy. They’re still easy to make last minute, and most of them are simple enough for the kids to help make, too. But best of all, you won’t have to use the oven to make any of these colorful Easter treats, so you can either use that space to cook up Easter dinner, or you can keep the oven off entirely to keep the house nice and cool.
Take a look at these colorful, easy, no-bake Easter dessert recipes, and get ready to delight your guests this spring.
