Easter Sweet Treats!

Chocolate bunnies, marshmallow peeps, and jelly beans…some of the goodies that come to mind when I think about Easter!  Candy buffets have been a popular trend for many occasions & holiday celebrations–and it’s not hard to see why!  They’re so easy, fun, and festive…and who doesn’t want to satisfy a sweet tooth from time to time?  Candy makes such a happy display and works wonderfully for favors too!  So if you’re planning a springtime gathering…why not forgo fancy desserts and set up a help-yourself “sweets station”!  It doesn’t have to be elaborate to make a festive statement!  So take a peek at a simple candy display that might inspire you to sprinkle a little sugar on your Easter buffet!

simple containers hold favorite Easter sweets…

grouping them on a tray can make a small collection of treats look grand!

apothecary jars always look lovely…fill ’em up with your personal favorites!

stick to a single color or choose a spring palette of sugar!  these pink candies just made me happy…and they’re delicious too!

labels are always appreciated on a candy buffet…they let your guests know exactly what they’re nibbling on!

small stamps and blank tags make cute and rustic labels…never worry about perfection, once you group them together they’ll look adorable!

you could add some festive touches…

a tissue garland mimics the colors of the candies…and just makes it look like a celebration!

I love to leave out candy displays during the holidays…for my family or any guest who stops by!  But this year I decided it could also double as a favor station after our Easter gathering!

…these little bags will hold the goodies for guests to take!

tiny craft bags stamped with a bunny are embellished with simple instructions!

they’re just the right size for a sampling of goodies!
