I have been making some variation of this Easter cookie recipe for years.
Some of the ingredients remain the same – especially the chocolate! – but I often change the Easter candy up a bit. For example, I’ll use Hershey’s candy coated eggs or Cadbury mini eggs.
Whatever Easter candy I use though, these easy Easter cookies always disappear quickly, so I typically make them as soon as possible after St. Patrick’s Day.
