#AllThingsEaster: Chocolate Dipped Pretzels and Rice Krispie Treats
With Easter coming this weekend, many of us are planning our dinner {and dessert} menus for the big dinner! And let’s not forget about the decorations and the special touches that will make our holiday memorable. Colleen of Souffle Bombay and Heather of Real: The Kitchen and Beyond gathered together 26 fabulous bloggers {including myself!} to share some of their Easter Entertaining Ideas with you!
From Jelly Bean Trees to a Giant Deviled Egg, we have got you covered! And? We have TWO amazing giveaways to help make your Easter even more memorable!
But first, let’s talk about yummy Easter treats!
For whatever reason, I am always the one in charge of bringing fun treats for the kids! It’s a perfect combination for me. They tend to be easy and are always cute.
This year, I went super easy. We are going to be traveling over Easter and may pop over to my sister’s on Easter Sunday. I wanted to be prepared but also whip something up that wouldn’t go bad.
I went to my old standby of chocolate covered pretzels. I mean really, they are about as simple as simple gets.
But I also wanted to do a little more. So I thought, “Self, what else can we dip?”
And that’s when it came to me. Rice Krispie Treats!
Again, simple and easy. I mean, how can it not be. Stick some lollipop sticks into your Krispie treats…
and then melt chocolate, dip, and decorate!
Let them dry and you are done. That’s it! A quick and easy treat to bring with you to Easter dinner to help create memories.
To make this Easter even more memorable for 2 lucky readers, we have some fabulous giveaways that any grown up would love to get in their Easter Basket from John Boos, The Spice House, Wilton Armetale, Divine Chocolates & The Tree Hut!!
We would like to give a huge thank you to the companies that made this give away possible. Thank you to John Boos for the beautiful maple cutting board, The Spice House for their spice and baking gift sets, Divine Chocolate for their luxuriously rich Fair Trade Chocolate gift basket, Wilton Armetale for the elegant egg plate, and Tree Hut for the body scrub and lotion.

Can’t wait to try these! The kids will love making them!
Perfect idea to keep the kids busy today! Thank you, you just made my day. 🙂
Oh I want to make these for my daughter’s class… Where do you buy lollipop sticks??
This is perfect for my son’s bday treat at school. Rice Krispy treats are “school safe” right? Dumb Q though…. where do you buy lollipop sticks????
Cute as can be! : )
Easy, smart and fun for kids…what’s not to love!
Yummy, very cute too! Love the simplicity too.
Cute ideas! Thanks!!
Yum! I just figured out how to make vegan rice krispy treats… this is on my list!!!
So cute! Great way to make those Easter Baskets a bit more homemade instead of store bought goodies. Plus, I love pretzels and chocolate. The whole salt and sweet thing gets me every time!
I gotta tell you, I’m not only going to make these for Easter moving forward – too cute and too yummy looking!
These are so super cute and look like they would be real easy to make. Perfect activity while the kids are on Spring break.
Love all these ideas! Yum!
Love these! I made a paint dip version for my son’s birthday, and it was a huge hit.
These are so cute!
Brilliant! Love these. But I must know… How did you get your krispie treats to be so perfectly cut? Do you have one of those individual brownie pans or something? Mine NEVER look this good – do tell!
These are perfect to take to a class party or make as part of your edible decor for Easter. I know kids AND adults that would love these, including ME.
I love this blog-These treats look delish
Yum! I love the idea of making a lollipop out of Rice Krispie treats!
