Easter Treats


Hummingbird Chocolate

Great for Easter and new to our store, Hummingbird chocolate is absolutely delicious! Hummingbird has always been about the chocolate; a love story to cacao beans told in tablet form. They love exploring the flavours that play perfectly with their cacao beans!


Chocosol



Chocosol Chocolate Bars make an excellent Easter treat. Bean-to-bar chocolate crafted with care, they take raw cacao beans and roast, winnow, and grind them using volcanic stone—an ancient technique that preserves the rich flavours and natural benefits of cacao, like antioxidants, iron, and magnesium.


Zazubean Chocolate



Zazubean Chocolate has a huge diversity of flavours to choose from that all equally taste delicious. They want to offer not only the best tasting chocolate, but chocolate that is good for you! They don’t put any Junk or weird stuff into their bars, no fillers or additives - just clean, simple ingredients. 


Recipes



We have many amazing recipes on our site, including a page dedicated to fun Easter recipes! Make sure to check them out right here.


Crafts


It's not all about chocolate and eggs! Here are some fun crafts you can do with your family to help decorate your home and get you into the Easter spirit.

Paper Plate Easter Bunny


Supplies Needed:


Construction Paper

Pom-Poms


Pipe Cleaner


Googly Eyes

Small Paper Plates


Glue


Directions:


1. Make the whiskers.


For the whiskers: take 3 pipe cleaners and twist them around each other in the center so that they are connected/stuck together. The part you twist is the hidden part that will go under the nose (pom pom) and will be hidden. This will leave you with the whiskers sticking out on both sides.


Then glue to the paper plate. Leave time to let dry as this step will require it to be glued well or the pipe cleaners will fall off.


 2. Glue on the pom pom nose.


Once glue is dry from the pipe cleaners, now glue on your nose (pom pom)


3. Make the ears.


For the ears: Cut out some ears from white construction paper or cardstock and then cut out a smaller inside ear with a different color. We chose pink and yellow. Glue both pieces together and then glue or tape to the back of the paper plate.



4. Add the eyes and mouth.


For the eyes: We used googly eyes and just glued them on but you could also use construction paper and make the eyes yourself.


For the mouth: We simply just drew on the mouth with a black marker.


Egg Carton Bunny



Supplies Needed


Here are the supplies you will need to make this egg carton craft:


Egg Carton


Acrylic Paint – pink, yellow and baby blue 


Scissors


Googly Eyes


Pink Pom Poms


White Foam


Masking Tape


Glue


Black Marker


Directions


1. Begin by cutting 2 egg compartments and trimming off any excess to create a flat top to the cartons.



2. Place the trimmed egg cartons on top of each other with the flat tops touching.


Take a piece of masking tape and put a small piece on the back of the cartons.


Then open up the egg carton and place another piece of masking tape on the inside.



3. Paint the egg cartons a spring color.


We love baby blue, yellow and pink paint colors that match the mini eggs!



4. Cut 2 bunny ear shapes out of the foam.


5. Once the paint has dried, add the eyes and pink pom pom for the nose with glue.


Glue on the ears as well. 



Take a thick black marker and add whiskers and eyelashes if desired.


No matter what you choose to do, we hope you have a happy and healthy Easter!
