Oh, how we love a good skillet cookie. They’re the perfect easy dessert for a crowd. So when we found this Skillet Cookie with M&M’s from Irvin of Eat The Love, we knew it had to make the list. It’s so easy to make. However, Irvin makes it more jubilant with the addition of soft-hued M&M’s and flaky salt. It’s the perfect dish to bring to the Easter potluck.
Mini Egg Cake
First, Kate reels you in proclaiming her love of mini eggs candies. Then once she hooks you, a bombshell, this Mini Egg Cake is better than mini eggs candies. No, it’s many orders of magnitude better. And without even the tiniest bit of resistance, we agree. Here’s why. It starts with a milk chocolate cake with a moist, tender crumb.
But that’s only the beginning. It’s then coated in a buttercream frosting; not just any ole buttercream, but buttercream enhanced with mini eggs. Then, as if that weren’t more than enough, you crown it with chocolate ganache and more mini eggs.
Bunny Tail Easter Cupcakes
Some Easter dessert recipes are just a little too cute for the adult table. However, this Bunny Tail Easter Cupcakes recipe by Julie Blanner fits that “just right” spot.

Homemade Marzipan Truffles
