Easter Treats

As a mom to four young kids, every holiday that rolls around means it’s another opportunity to whip up a delicious treat for my children.

With Easter quickly approaching, I began scannning Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration on this years treat. Normally I’m all about spending a little extra time in the kitchen for a fun treat but we’re planning a road trip to see family which meant I neede something that would be easy to make away from home.

I was tempted to do another marshmallow based treat but last year we made Peeps Marshmallow Treats and for St. Patrick’s Day we just made Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats which meant I wanted to branch out and try something new.

Easter Bunny Cinnamon Rolls

A few of you had sent me different variations of of the bunny cinnamon rolls (oand carrot cinnamon rolls) and I honestly, it seemed so simple that it was perfect. This recipe was made for busy moms like myself, that want the credit of a fun treat but may be short on time.

Bunny cinnamon rolls only technically requite one ingredient, store bought cinnamon rolls, but you can of course add extra to decor to your taste! They’re declicious and festive, perfect for families with young kids.
