Our state has implemented a policy for public schools where we cannot provide candy to students. Any ideas on how we can do our Easter Egg hunt this year?

I have a bunch of leftover chocolate eggs, bunny and a cross and I was looking for a way to incorporate it into one baked good so it can be eaten and be gone! I was thinking something with peanut butter. Does anyone know of such a recipe?

Easter is one of those religious holidays that a lot of people could really get into without even being part of the religion that celebrates it. For those of you who are hazy on the details, Easter celebrates the Christ rising from the grave after being deceased for two days (many say that he is dead for three, but since he died on a Friday and rose again on a Sunday, he would technically be dead for only two days, so there). As part of the celebration, there will be the use of such powerful iconography like the Easter bunny and, my personal favorite, the Easter eggs; both of them are somehow linked to the idea of new life or perpetual life, though it must be said that these symbols are more pagan than Catholic and the Catholic Easter celebration has nothing to do with bunnies and eggs – but everyone seems to favor the iconography anyway. That being said, Easter is all about the celebration of life – new or otherwise.
Easter eggs are the treats of the season, and while it used to be that they were made from real chicken eggs (only boiled and painted), the Easter eggs of today can be called real treats in the sense that they are now, as dictated by new custom, filled with or made of sweets. For those who like the thrill of the easter egg hunt, there are plastic eggs that serve as containers for any confection imaginable (though the more fun options are currently gummy worms or jelly beans. Those who don’t have the space for a hunt could simply make and serve candy Easter eggs – preferably, they would be made entirely out of chocolate, but they can simply be chocolate-covered with different fillings.
There are many ways to celebrate Easter – whatever this holiday may mean to you. Evidently, however, the best way is through some Easter treats. For more information On Candy Easter Eggs visit, http://candyeastereggs.com

To make this candy arrangement you will need: an Easter bucket, floral foam, a stuffed
bunny,lollipops, plastic Easter grass, chocolate bunnies, bamboo skewers, clear scotch tape or packing tape, Easter ribbon, and wired decorative Easter eggs.
Step 1. Take any Easter bucket you like and fill it about 5/6 full of Easter plastic grass.
Step 2. Cut the floral foam and put it on the top of Easter grass so it fits into the container snugly. Cut and put in filler pieces of foam as necessary.
You can also buy a floral foam disc, cut it to the desired size and insert it into the bucket.
Step 3. Cover the foam with Easter grass.
Step 4. Set the stuffed Bunny at the back of the bucket. If the toy bunny does not want to sit, you can secure his legs to the foam using hairpins or floral pins.
Step 5. Insert candy flowers in the arrangement.
a) Prepare “Dum-Dum Pops” or other lollipops. They will be our candy flowers.
b) Insert pops in light and dark green wrappers all around the edge of the bucket. Then put in the rest of the pops around the bunny spacing them evenly.
Step 6. Let’s add the chocolate bunnies to our Easter arrangement.
a) Prepare chocolate bunnies, bamboo skewers, and clear scotch tape or packing tape.
b) Attach the bamboo skewer to the back of chocolate bunnies with packing tape.
c) Insert these chocolate bunnies at the back of the bucket behind the stuffed bunny.
Step 7.
a) Prepare Easter narrow ribbon and wired decorative Easter eggs. I bouquet them in a craft store.
b) Tie an Easter bow around these Easter eggs and put them in the foam so they will be in the bunny’s hands as though he is holding the bouquet out of Easter eggs.
Well done! Enjoy your Easter Candy Arrangement!
