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.
