These Peanut Butter Easter Egg Pretzel Bites are adorable and so easy and fun to make! This is a great kitchen activity for the kids and these are perfect for an afternoon snack or a fun dessert after your Easter dinner!
Looking for a last minute treat for Easter? Or an activity to keep the kids busy for a bit while they are out of school on Easter break? These super-adorable bites are so easy to make, they are perfect to either throw together quickly, or take a more leisurely pace and have your kids do the assembly for a fun and delicious afternoon.
These are also really customizable, you can use any candy to press into the chocolate on top of the pretzels.
I used peanut butter egg-shaped M&M's because the combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and crunchy, salty pretzel is right up my alley.
I also used a few marshmallow chicks I found in the baking section at Wal-Mart, just to add a cute touch to the scene.
Another great edible craft for Easter is this Easter Peeps Pop Tart House. It uses Pop Tarts and a few other ingredients and is a really great way to keep the kids busy for the afternoon!

These are so cute, I took a zillion pictures. I couldn't stop shooting them. And I couldn't stop eating them, either!
Take a picture, pop a pretzel bite in my mouth, take another picture, pop another pretzel bite, and so on. It was a morning of fun and yum!
Luckily I had a bunch of extra pretzel bites, so I didn't have to dip into my carefully arranged display until I was all done with the photoshoot. 🙂
