For us, it’s usually one or the other… you make a large brunch or dinner, then it’s an easy dessert or vice versa. So for Easter since we always make a wonderful brunch consisting of ham, frittata and mimosas we put together something much easier for dessert… a candy platter!

One of my favorite things about Easter is all of the beautifully crafted candy, chocolate bunnies and colorful jelly beans. A candy platter for Easter is perfect.

Tips for Making a Easter Dessert Platter

Have a variety of candy, from gummies, chocolate to fruit flavored.

Cookies and baked desserts also work for dessert platters.

Don’t add one variety in one spot, spread it around the board.

Marshmallows are fun to add to an Easter platter.
