1. Candy-Stuffed Brownies

Take your favorite brownie mix (or homemade recipe) and add chopped candy bars like Snickers, Milky Ways, or Reese’s Eggs right into the batter before baking. The result? Gooey, chocolatey brownies with surprise bites of Easter magic.

Tip: Top with a few whole mini eggs before baking for extra crunch and color.

2. Peeps S’mores Dip

Not sure what to do with all those Peeps? Arrange them in a baking dish on top of a layer of chocolate chips. Bake until the Peeps are golden and the chocolate is melted. Scoop with graham crackers and enjoy this gooey, colorful twist on classic s’mores.

Perfect for parties or movie night!

3. Easter Candy Bark

Melt white or milk chocolate and spread it on a lined baking sheet. Top with chopped candy—think M&Ms, jelly beans, crushed chocolate eggs, or even sprinkles. Let it cool, then break into chunks.

This no-bake recipe is perfect for gift bags, lunchbox treats, or afternoon snacks.

4. Jelly Bean Trail Mix

Mix leftover jelly beans with pretzels, popcorn, cereal, and maybe a handful of chocolate chips or nuts. It’s a sweet-and-salty combo that’s perfect for snacking or school lunches.

Bonus: It’s easy to make a big batch and store in zip-top bags for later.

5. Frozen Easter Candy Milkshakes

Blend vanilla or chocolate ice cream with leftover mini chocolate bars, caramel eggs, or candy-coated chocolates. Top with whipped cream and drizzle with leftover caramel or chocolate syrup.

The ultimate Easter dessert drink, and a great way to use those candy odds and ends.
