Pretzel Ducks

Ingredients
Mini pretzels
Melted yellow chocolate
Orange M&M'S
Black edible ink marker

Instructions
Add a dollop of melted yellow chocolate into the center of each small pretzel, then add an orange M&M on one side to make a beak. Let dry.

Egg Carton Charcuterie and Hummus Veggie Patch

This Easter, get creative by looking beyond traditional plates and dishes to serve your food.

Use an egg carton as a fun way to serve snacks: Simply fill the carton with whatever treats you want, whether vegetables like cucumbers and carrots or treats like candy and nuts.

To serve vegetables, look no further than a terracotta pot.

Fill the pot with hummus and then arrange vegetables like broccoli, carrots and pea pods on top to look like a vegetable patch.
