Description

This Homemade Easter Candy is crunchy, colorful, and the perfect way to make your spring celebration personal and playful. Packed with honey-roasted peanuts, pastel M&Ms, and a luscious vanilla candy coating, it’s an easy, festive treat your whole family can help make—and eat!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 34.5 oz honey-roasted dry roasted peanuts (or salted peanuts or almonds)
  • 48 oz vanilla-flavored candy coating (or white chocolate + 1 tsp coconut oil)
  • 11.4 oz holiday M&Ms (or mini chocolate eggs, dried fruit)
  • Seasonal pastel sprinkles or edible glitter

Instructions

  1. Toast the Peanuts (Optional): In a skillet over medium heat, toast peanuts for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly for an extra boost of flavor.
  2. Melt the Coating: Break up the vanilla coating and melt gently using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts. Stir until smooth.
  3. Combine & Spread: Stir in ¾ of the peanuts and pour onto a parchment-lined sheet. Press in remaining peanuts, M&Ms, and sprinkles while still soft.
  4. Chill & Break: Let candy set at room temp for 20 minutes or in fridge for 10. Break into pieces and serve or gift.

Notes

Tip: Use cookie cutters as molds for fun Easter shapes, or silicone molds for more polished clusters. Want to go nut-free? Try pumpkin seeds or puffed rice for crunch.
