Easter
snacks can be a great way to express creativity and now with all of the
fabulous ideas swirling around on pinterest I am never going to run out of
creativity! I used to be the mom that
made the crazy homemade chocolate sculptures and 4 tier cakes ect. Don’t get me wrong, I still love a great cake
making session but I have come to the reality that I am a super busy working
mom and shortcuts are necessary! The
first snack I am going to talk about is one that is super easy and I literally
came up with it on the fly! Hmm seems
like a theme lately. I used pre-packaged
rice crispy treats, licorice, m&m’s, marshmallows and peeps.
First
you flatten and mould the rice crispy treat into a basket. The more you mould the treat it takes on the consistency
of clay. The next step is to peel a
piece of licorice off and press it into the rice crispy basket to make a handle. Step three is to add m&m’s and
marshmallows. Finally, add the peeps and
eat it!
Our
next snack was one I found on my Pinterest Spring Board from http://www.armelleblog.com/2012/04/diy-easter-carrot-snacks.html
You just need cone shaped bags, green construction paper, tape and goldfish or
organic bunny crackers. Fill the bags
with the crackers. Twist and tape the
top to a point. Finally, you tape on the
green stems. Easy Peasy Lemon
Squeezy!
Our
last snack was the bird nest treats.

Pour the butterscotch and white Chocolate morsels in a microwave-safe bowl and place them in the microwave. Heat for 30 seconds then remove to stir. Return to the microwave and heat again for 30 seconds. Stir until melted. Add in the chow mein noodles and mix till combined. I let all of the kids have a turn stirring. You can add a little bit of butter or peanut butter to prevent it from solidifying so quickly. Place three egg-shaped candies in the center of each nest and the birds on top.
