With everything going on lately, I don't think many people have actually thought about or started planning for Easter this year.   I had planned to share a few new Easter recipes this year but then decided to share some more classic recipes instead.  Stay tuned for a homemade bread recipe coming next week!

Puffed Wheat Cookie Nests

Here are a few Easter recipes posted in  2018 and 2019:

  1. Hot Cross Buns - I love a good homemade hot cross bun!  Am I the only one who cannot stand hot cross buns made with a flour cross instead of icing on top?  I mean, what's a hot cross bun without the icing?  I love the flavours of these buns and the meaning they represent! ❤️
  2. No-Bake Mini Egg Cheesecakes - these cheesecakes are so yummy and fun!
  3. Carrot Muffins - these muffins are perfectly moist and flavourful, filled with shredded carrots and warm spices.

This would be such a fun recipe to make with kids!  Give them the job of placing colourful cupcake liners in the pan or topping them with the mini chocolate eggs.

    Delicious and super easy to make! I love how chocolatey and festive they are. I would like to try with Rice Krispies next Time in hopes they come out more crunchy! Great recipe.
