10 Homemade Candy Recipes for Easter

We love our bright, springtime vegetables. We really do. Come Sunday, however, you’ll find us digging into a sweeter harvest -- because this Easter, we’re planning a sugar high for the ages. It’s a Peeps-for-breakfast, Cadbury-for-dinner kind of menu, with a few midnight marshmallows thrown in for good measure. But here's the twist: we're whipping up our confections at home.

After all, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a pot of warm caramel bubbling away on the stove. Or stirring molten chocolate for the perfect temper. And when you inevitably pass out on the floor in a post-holiday candy coma, you can console yourself with the memory of making those sugary spoils by hand. Whether you’re an Almond Joy fiend or a Twix loyalist, let’s put the Easter Bunny to shame.
