Regardless of whether or not you will be celebrating Easter this Sunday, the wonderful season of spring has arrived! We searched through Pinterest to find seven cute and easy desserts that you can make to celebrate Easter or springtime. Keep in mind that many of these recipes are made with store bought cookie dough or cake mixes to cut the prep time in half but feel free to modify the recipes with your own homemade batters!

1. Spring Marshmallow Krispies Treats

This recipe is very cute and simple, especially with the pastel colored M&M’s!

2. Carrot Patch Cupcakes

This is the cutest cupcake idea we’ve come across in a long time. No one can resist chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and the best part of this recipe is the strawberry disguised as a carrot.

 

3. Bunny Shaped Cupcakes

We’ve never really thought about baking cupcakes into shapes but it’s actually such a great and creative idea!

4. Carrot Cake Donuts

Carrot cake is the classic Easter dessert and this recipe turns one of our favorite recipes into a donut that you can eat on the go. 

 

5. Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Cups

Instead of using the traditional angel food cake, this recipe calls for Nestlé Toll House Strawberry Shortcake Cookie Dough, whipped cream, and strawberries for a new twist on a classic favorite!

 

6. Rice Krispie Nests

Another take on our favorite, easy-to-make dessert, these nests barely require any work. All you need to do is make a batch of rice krispies, shape them into a nest, and add Robins Eggs candy and edible grass!

7. Lemon Strawberry Crumb Bars

Strawberries are coming back into season and if you’re a fan of strawberry lemonade, you will definitely love these bars!
