It was a long winter, but things are finally thawing in my part of the world. The signs of spring are popping up everywhere. The weather is warmer, April daffodils are in bloom, there are buds on the trees and the days are getting longer.
Easter is this weekend, and whether or not you observe this holiday, the long weekend is a great time to celebrate the start of the spring season with your family and friends. I firmly believe that every celebration should be accompanied with a sweet nibble, and perfectly free™ allergy-friendly Easter Egg Nests are the ideal dessert to get everyone excited about spring! They are made with a crunchy chocolate bed and topped with perfectly free™ non-dairy frozen bites.
perfectly free™ frozen bites have a creamy, non-dairy vanilla core and are enrobed in real Cocoa, Salted Caramel, Blueberry, or Cherry. They are made in a dedicated facility that is free from dairy, wheat/gluten, peanuts, soy, egg, fish, shellfish, and tree nuts (contains coconut). They have no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives, and their fun round shape and vibrant colors make them so easy to be creative with!
Here’s how to make perfectly free™ Allergy-friendly Easter Egg Nests:
