Tips for making the best Easter Cookies.

How to make Ingredient No Bake Easter Treat
Prep Time: 5 minutes.
Servings: about 24, depending on how large you make yours. .
- Start by preparing your baking sheet with a liner (such as parchment paper).
- Place your pretzels into a large zip top bag and use a rolling pin or similar item to crush the pretzels into pieces (not crumbs).
- Next, in a large microwave safe bowl, melt the white almond bark according to the directions on the packaging. I like to stop every 20-30 seconds to carefully stir or whisk the bark as it melts.
- Let the melted bark sit for a minute and then stir in the pretzels- you can simply pour the pretzel pieces from the bag used to crush them in.
- Use a rubber spatula to carefully fold in the candies until just blended in (avoid over mixing as doing so can melt the candies).
- Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to scoop the ingredients on to your prepared rimmed sheet.
- Place the treats in your refrigerator for about a half hour or freezer for 10 minutes or until set.
Expert Tip👉 This recipe can also be made into a bark by evenly spreading the combined ingredients into the prepared baking sheet instead of scooping out individual treats.
How to store no bake treats.
Once the treats have fully set they should be stored in an airtight container. When properly stored, they should keep for about for about a couple of weeks at room temperature, a month when refrigerated, or up to a few months when frozen.
