I made these adorable Candy Pretzel Flowers with my grand kids for Easter last week – we had so much fun. I wanted to share them because I think they are cute not only for Easter, but would be great for Mother’s Day, May Day, Baby Showers, or just as a great activity for upcoming family reunions.  They are super easy and you can customize your M&M colors to match any theme. (Single colors sold online or at Party City.)

All you need are some pretzel snaps (the square ones), candy melts, and M&Ms.

My granddaughters loved make them –

Hopefully you still have room on your Easter Menu for this Carrot Souffle.  It’s a simple dish that has a warm, custard flavor to really make the carrots pop!  It’s a little sweet, so it could go perfectly with your brunch or dinner menu.  I love it warm out of the oven, but the leftovers are great right from the frig, so serve it hot or cold.
