Here are 10 Easter leftover recipes to help you repurpose your Easter leftovers into delicious new dishes.
Leftover Easter candy cookies
Why eat leftover Easter candy straight from the bag when you can use it to make these adorable leftover Easter candy cookies? Light, soft and buttery, these spring-themed treats showcase pastel M&M’s and chocolate Easter eggs, which are even more irresistible in cookie form. Rally your kiddos to get in the kitchen to help you make these easy treats. We recommend gobbling up a few while they are still hot from the oven.
