Easter Bunny Wafer Pops Crispy vanilla wafer cookies turned into the cutest pastel Easter pops—dipped in chocolate, topped with tiny flowers, and perfect for baskets, parties, or gifting! Ingredients 1 package Voortman® Bakery Vanilla Wafers (cream-filled rectangular wafers) 1 bag each Wilton® Candy Melts in pastel pink, lavender, yellow, and green 12–16 wooden craft sticks (popsicle sticks) 1 small jar white flower sprinkles (like Wilton® White Flower Sprinkles) Instructions Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Carefully separate one vanilla wafer slightly at the cream layer just enough to insert a wooden stick into the center without breaking the cookie. Do not fully pull it apart. Gently press the cookie back together so the cream filling holds the stick in place. If needed, dab a small amount of melted candy melts inside before closing to act as glue. Repeat with remaining wafers. Lay them flat on parchment. Melt one color of candy melts at a time in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each until smooth and fully melted. Do not overheat. Hold a wafer pop by the stick and dip it straight down into the melted chocolate, tilting the bowl slightly if needed to fully coat. Gently tap the stick on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate for a smooth finish. While the coating is still wet, place one small white flower sprinkle near the base of the pop for decoration. The melted candy coating will act as glue and hold the sprinkle in place. Lay dipped pops flat on parchment paper. Repeat with remaining colors and wafer pops. Allow to set completely at room temperature for 30–45 minutes or refrigerate 10–15 minutes until firm. Storage Store wafer pops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If stacking, place parchment paper between layers

Easter Rice Krispie Treat Gift Box Soft, gooey homemade Rice Krispie treats shaped into bunnies and eggs, dipped in pastel chocolate and packed into the cutest Easter gift boxes—sweet, colorful, and perfect for spring sharing! 6 cups Kellogg’s® Rice Krispies Cereal 10 oz (1 bag) Kraft® Jet-Puffed Mini Marshmallows 4 tbsp Land O Lakes® Unsalted Butter 1/2 tsp McCormick® Pure Vanilla Extract (optional but recommended) 1/2 tsp Morton® Salt 1 cup Wilton® Pink Candy Melts 1 cup Wilton® White Candy Melts 1 package Peeps® Pink Bunny Marshmallows 1 cup Rold Gold® Pretzel Twists or Squares Pastel decorating icing (like Betty Crocker® Decorating Icing) Green paper grass for gift boxes (optional for presentation) Instructions Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line with parchment paper. Lightly butter bunny and egg-shaped cookie cutters if using for shaping. In a large pot over low heat, melt butter completely. Add mini marshmallows and stir continuously with a wooden spoon until fully melted and smooth. Stir in vanilla and salt. Remove from heat and immediately fold in Rice Krispies cereal. Stir gently but quickly until all cereal is evenly coated in the marshmallow mixture. Work fast before it firms up. To shape: For classic bars, press mixture evenly into the prepared pan using a buttered spatula or wax paper. For bunny and egg shapes, let mixture cool slightly (1–2 minutes so it’s warm but safe to handle). Lightly butter your hands and firmly press handfuls of mixture into greased bunny or egg cookie cutters placed on parchment paper. Press down well so shapes hold together. Carefully lift the cutter straight up to release the shape. If edges look uneven, gently press and smooth them with your fingers. Let shapes cool completely at room temperature (about 30 minutes). Melt pink and white candy melts separately according to package directions (microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth). For dipped bunnies: Dip the bottom half of a bunny-shaped treat into melted pink chocolate. Let excess drip off, then place on parchment paper to set. For decorated eggs: Dip fully or halfway in white chocolate. While still wet, pipe pastel icing in zigzags across the top. For pretzel treats: Dip pretzels into white chocolate and place on parchment. Add a small Peeps bunny or decorate with extra melted chocolate before it sets. Allow all treats to fully harden at room temperature (about 30–45 minutes). For faster setting, refrigerate 10–15 minutes. To assemble gift boxes: Line rectangular white gift boxes with green paper grass. Arrange one pink bunny treat, one decorated egg treat, and one chocolate-covered pretzel in each box. Fill gaps with mini marshmallows and Peeps for a festive Easter look. Storage Store treats in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days. If packaging in gift boxes, wrap each treat individually in plastic wrap to keep them soft. Do not refrigerate long-term as this can make them hard. For longer storage, freeze individually wrapped treats up to 6 weeks and thaw at room temperature before serving

They’re no-bake, easy to make ahead, and always disappear fast. Ingredients (Makes about 24–30 pinwheels) 3 cups cooked shredded chicken (rotisserie works great) 8 oz cream cheese, softened ½ cup ranch dressing ½ cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste) 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional but adds meltiness) 2–3 green onions, finely sliced 4–5 large flour tortillas (burrito size) Optional Add-Ins ¼ cup crumbled blue cheese ¼ cup finely diced celery (for crunch) ½ tsp garlic powder ½ tsp smoked paprika Instructions Mix the Filling In a large bowl: Combine softened cream cheese, ranch dressing, and buffalo sauce. Mix until smooth and creamy. Stir in shredded chicken, cheddar, mozzarella, and green onions. Taste and adjust buffalo sauce if you want more heat.

Chill Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1–2 hours (this helps them firm up and slice cleanly). You can chill overnight if prepping ahead.

Peanut Butter No Bake Cookies no oven, just pure peanut butter bliss Ingredients ● 3 cups quick-cook oats ● ¼ tsp salt ● ½ cup butter ● 2 cups sugar ● ½ cup milk ● 1 cup peanut butter ● 2 tsp vanilla Instructions 1: Prep the Oats: In a large bowl, stir together oats and salt; set aside. 2: Make the Syrup: In a saucepan over medium-high heat, whisk butter, sugar, and milk until melted and combined. 3: Boil Properly: Bring to a full rolling boil and let boil exactly 1 minute, then remove from heat. 4: Add Flavor: Stir in peanut butter and vanilla until smooth and glossy. 5: Combine: Pour mixture over oats and stir quickly until fully coated. 6: Shape: Drop spoonfuls onto wax-paper-lined baking sheets using a cookie scoop. 7: Cool Completely: Let set at room temperature until firm before moving to the fridge. Preparation Time: about 15 minutes + cooling Extra Tips for Perfect Texture ● Start timing at a full rolling boil — tiny bubbles don’t count. ● Too hard? You likely boiled too long or at too high heat. ● Too soft? It probably didn’t boil long enough. ● Work quickly: The mixture thickens fast once off the heat. ● Let them set on the counter first: Refrigerating too soon makes them gooey. ● For extra richness: Add a handful of mini chocolate chips after mixing. Storage Tips ● Store in airtight container in fridge up to 1 week. ● Layer with parchment to prevent sticking
