Peeps, Cadbury eggs, coconut and peanut butter eggs, pastel M&M’s — we’ll take all of the Easter candy, thank you very much. But, if we’re being honest, all of the seasonal treats that come out this time of year are so sweet, we can only eat them on their own for a couple of bites before calling uncle. After that, we’re left with a pile full of candy that rivals Halloween.
If the Easter Bunny brought way too much candy to your house, use up those leftovers with these super-cute food DIYs.
