Easter Dessert Candy Board is a fun idea for your Easter holiday meal. It’s full of Easter candy, chocolate and cute desserts! All thrown together in just a few minutes.
Spring time is probably my favorite time to get together with friends and family. There’s something about the beautiful weather and the feeling of a fresh start. Something I love to bring to gatherings is dessert. These simple Easter Vanilla Cupcakes are quick to make and a crowd pleaser. These Fruit Pizza Cookies taste super fresh and would be a great addition. You could also make some adorable Bunny Pops, too. Of course, no Easter dinner is complete without Deviled Eggs. Not a dessert, but a necessity!
Easter Dessert
This candy board is a dream of mine and so I’m it came true! I’m thrilled with how it turned out. Usually I am the designated person to bring dessert when it comes to holiday get togethers and this would most definitely make a lasting impression!
It truly was so simple to put together, too. I purchased all my favorite easter candy and treats and nestled them together. I also included a few homemade desserts to add an extra special touch.
Every grocery store has fun holiday isles and I had a blast shopping at Target and Trader Joes for most of these goodies!
Don’t forget to peruse the bakery section at the market. You can typically find holiday treats there as well.
Cute Easter Dessert
I think Easter is the most fun holiday to make cute desserts for. I love all the pastel colors, bunny shaped treats and give me all the Reese’s Peanut Butter Eggs!
What I love most about this is how simple and fast this came together.
Once I had my homemade desserts made I started grouping and piling it all out on one of my favorite wooden cutting boards. You definitely can’t see it in the pictures, but it’s under there!
