Check out this collection of over 20 Chocolate Easter Desserts to discover all the delicious ways you can incorporate homemade treats into your celebrations this year. No matter how you celebrate the holiday, there’s a great recipe waiting for you!
Between Easter and Halloween is a long stretch of candy-less, chocolate-less months that deny us the fun of themed treats and the excuse to make desserts in the name of celebration. So I say live it up!
Since cooking with chocolate is my go-to for desserts 80% of the time, I compiled this fun and inspirational list of chocolate Easter desserts to help you incorporate it into your celebrations. Whether you’re looking to start or end your day with chocolate, or need homemade Easter basket treats, this list has TONS of inspiration.
I’m personally adding chocolate peanut butter eggs and healthy chocolate marshmallows to my kiddo’s baskets, and making a batch of chocolate hot cross buns for breakfast! I hope you find the perfect recipe for you!
