Easy Easter Treats for Kids
It goes without saying that Easter is a holiday that is widely celebrated around the world. Especially if you’re Christian, Easter is the time where you commemorate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Though anyone is welcome to celebrate Easter, it is still important to remember the essence of this holiday and why it is being celebrated.
You definitely cannot leave out Easter traditional food staples which stem from different beliefs and symbolism and this includes snacks and desserts.
Here are some of the best and famous traditional Easter desserts:
Easter Eggs
One must not forget the ever famous Easter eggs. It is definitely one of the few indicators that Easter is being celebrated! From a Christian perspective, Easter eggs represent Jesus’ resurrection which gave this food a symbol of “new life”. Easter eggs can either be a decorative piece or an activity that can add life to the celebration (I’m talking about Easter egg hunt!).
Chocolate Easter Bunny
Chocolate Easter bunnies come in pair with the colorful dyed Easter eggs for the fact that it adds decoration to your place and it brings fun to your celebration especially if your guests include children! The Easter Bunny is a folkloric figure and symbol of Easter which is seen as a rabbit bringing Easter eggs.
Cookies

Along with eggs, cupcakes are another set of delicacies that can make a celebration look colorful and vibrant! Making cupcakes is also another opportunity to showcase your creative prowess.
Cake
You can never have a celebration without a cake! Top off your cake with some Easter spirit by placing a bunny on top or little candy eggs on the side. If you do it right, your Easter cake might just become an attention-grabber!

If you love munching on your favorite Easter snacks but you do not want to wait for long minutes next to the oven, then you need not to worry because you can still make tasty Easter treats even without baking! Here’s an easy example of a no-bake chocolate peanut butter Easter cookie:
