I was provided with candy by HERSHEY’S as well as a stipend from The Global Influence Network as part of my participation in this campaign. All thoughts and ideas are my own.
Easter is one of my favorite holidays. I enjoyed it immensely as a child: going on Easter Egg Hunts, making cascarones con mi familia, coloring Easter Eggs, and of course, a visit from the Easter Bunny & all that Easter candy!
Now that I’m a Mom, I like watching my kids enjoy the holiday just as much as I did. I always try to make them a special treat or two, and this year is no different! HERSHEY’S sent me some delicious goodies to help get my creative juices flowing. With great candies like HERSHEY’S KISSES Milk Chocolates, JOLLY RANCHER Lollipops & Jelly Beans, REESE’S Peanut Butter Eggs, WHOPPERS Robin Eggs, & ROLO Candy – I can’t miss, right?!
I decided to make some cupcakes & then decorate them. After my cupcakes were baked & cooled off, I frosted them. Then I took some flaked coconut and dyed it green. I used the coconut to make a “nest” on top of my cupcake. I just sprinkled the coconut onto the cupcake.
Then I took a few of the HERSHEY’S candies (the WHOPPERS Robin Eggs & JOLLY RANCHER Lollipops) and used them to decorate my nest. The lollipops were just the right size and I simply inserted the whole thing into the cupcake. Easy peasy! I think my Easter Cupcakes turned out really cute, how about you?! If you like my Easter Cupcake creation, you need to take a look at CelebrateWithHersheys.com, for some other cute Easter ideas. I really like this one:
Now that I’ve given you a few ideas for Easter, how about a little GIVEAWAY?! I can feel the egg-citement in the air!
