DIY Easter Treats in Edible Candy Cones

Every bunny in your house will love these edible candy cones filled with easter treats! This is the perfect DIY treat favor to make with your kids and grandkids. 

Easter-candy-favors

Good morning friends how is your week starting off? Things here are busy  here this week, my to-do list feels as long as the receipts you get at CVS. The highlight of the week is going to be getting my highlights, and my hair cut. I know that many are embracing their gray hair but I am not there yet so until then I am going to enjoy my trips to the salon, masked of course.

I’ve also been making my Easter plans, Easter is April 4th, just a little over a month away and although I would love to say that I will be spending it with family that is not going to happen again this year. So I am baking and making my Easter baskets, bread, treats and sweets to send so that they will have them. This year I am also going to be trying a few new things using a recipe of my grandmother, I want to make something for my mom to remind her or her mother and happier times.

 

Sugar cones with easter candy in cellophane

For Valentine’s Day I made the easiest DIY Dollar Tree Candy Favors and the recipients liked them so much I am making them again for Easter. This time it is even easier because all you need is an old fashioned sugar cone, (which I think is perfect because it looks like a basket), candy, lots of candy and a triangle shaped cellophane bag, tie it up with a piece of festive Easter ribbon or twine and that’s to, a cute Easter favor to gift or to keep for yourself. This easy favor can be made for every holiday and can be used as a place card, wedding favor, treats for school and any other occasion you can think of.

This “craft” is perfect to make with your children or your grandchildren, not only because it is easy and fun but what kid doesn’t like candy? Just watch so they don’t eat too much or you may be in trouble with their parents. I will admit that I did taste test every kind of candy that I had, some I liked and some I didn’t.

On a side note, do you have a favorite Easter candy? I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Reese’s Peanutbutter Eggs, one year many, many years ago I ate a case of them in about 2 weeks. This was way back when they only made the eggs and they were a treat every Easter. After that gluttonous Easter I didn’t eat them for about 5 years. I also love Whopper Eggs, although I do not think they make them anymore, I am not sure why because the ones with the candy coating are not that tasty. Aside from that red jelly beans and that is it. Ok, on to Easter favors.

DIY Easter Treats and Candy Cones

Supplies

Sugar ice cream cones

Candy, jelly beans, M&M’s, Hershey’s Kisses and anything else you like

Cellophane Bags

Ribbon or twine

Easter candy in bowls

Assemble

To assemble the favor, simply take an ice cream cone, place it in the cellophane bag and fill it up with your sweet treats and candy. Tie it with ribbon or twine, add a gift tag.

Easter favor cones with bowl of candy

 Tip: If you don’t want to use the sugar cones you can easily use craft paper to make a cone shape and fill that with candy. All of the supplies can be found at The Dollar Tree(candy, cones, cellophane bags), Michaels(craft paper, candy, twine, ribbon), Target or on Amazon.

That is it, I hope that you try this easy Easter favor and if you do, let me know. I hope that you have a wonderful day!

    You come up with such pretty candy and treat ideas Elizabeth. Where do you find triangle shaped plastic bags please?
    I’m ready to get my Easter decor out of storage – not much, but all much-loved from over the years – once the St. Patrick’s Day decor is back in its storage box!
    Hope you are happy with your hair cut and color – I’m still getting mine cut but of course no color as I’ve now got 99% gray – and one more trim that will be gone too! I’m embracing my silver – something I would never have managed without the pandemic! Hey, vaccinated and short silver hair – I’m ready to travel when possible that’s a plus!
    Enjoy this week – looks like weather about to improve – lots of garden work ahead here.
    Hugs – Mary

    Very cute idea for Easter treats! Thank you for sharing them with us at the Snickerdoodle Party. Wishing you a lovely Easter weekend, despite not being able to spend it with family. We’re spending ours without family again this year as well. Just think how amazing next Easter is going to be!

Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to Good morning friends! We’ve had a lazy start to the weekend, it was raining when we woke up and that did not inspire me to hop out of bed to work around the house or the yard. Now the sun is shining and I am feeling so relaxed I don’t want to go outside. I’ve been perusing Pinterest and Instagram and there is so much inspiration for Spring and summer. I want to repaint a few rooms in the house(even through I don’t like painting) I want to plant a huge garden and have a wildflower meadow, I’ve found at least 30 recipes to try and I want to order at least 10 dresses from various stores. I better rein myself in before I do some serious damage to my wallet. Tell me what are you doing this morning? If you are relaxing with a cup of coffee come over to the blog and check out all of my favorites from around the web this week. I have book recommendations, recipes, fashion finds and more.

Next year I might branch out and try turmeric and coffee. Have you dyed any eggs? What did you use to dye them? Are you have a hunt? I loved hunting for Easter eggs as a child, we always has a huge hunt with eggs filled with candy and some with money. That was back when $5.00 was like winning the lottery. Am I dating myself?

Good evening friends, I hope you had a great day! Good evening friends, I hope you had a great day! I’ve been experimenting with plants and branches from my yard to make an Easter arrangement. I wanted tulips but there was a man at the store that asked me to point out the tulips for him, he told me his wife sent him to but them all up. I think she probably specified a certain color and he missed that part of the instructions, either that or they were going for and arrangement of every color of the rainbow. In any case there was nothing left for me except one package of cabbage looking things so off I went to the yard to forage. I added a moss covered bunny and some eggs and I am ready. Today on the blog I am sharing some of my favorite Easter memories, happy times spent with my grandparents and siblings and more. What is you happiest Easter memory? Please share it here or on the blog. Have a wonderful night. #easter #easterbasket #easterdecor #easterbunny #easterflowers #flowersofinstagram #flowers #flowerphotography #foragedflowers #foraged #blogger #blogpost #pineconesandacorns #cherryblossom #herbs #mint
