This has been the case for me lately when I see anything in an M&M’s bag. Trying the new seasonal flavors has been a secret joy of mine and this spring, as expected, they didn’t dissapoint! Exclusively at Target and only for a limited time, you can find M&M’s White Strawberry Shortcake candies. Just when you thought Easter candy couldn’t get any better, MARS takes it to the next level!

Lately, my family has been mildly obsessed with anything having to do with the flavors of s’mores. If there are marshmallows and graham crackers involved, then we are IN! When I began to plan our Easter baskets for this spring, I wanted to incorporate those same flavors into a homemade treat to make the day extra special.

Everything I needed was at Target! I picked up several bags of jellybeans, making sure to include the Starburst Sweet and Sour Jellybeans and Starburst Tropical Jellybeans, as well as the original flavor. Starburst Eggs were perfect to tuck in the baskets too. I couldn’t forget chocolate! The gorgeous display of DOVE chocolate made it a breeze to grab the favorites of my friends and family. DOVE Milk Chocolate Bunnies are an Easter standard for me, but when I saw the DOVE Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter Eggs, I was pretty stoked. All of these and SO many other varieties of M&M’s, DOVE, Starburst, and Skittles were easy to find on end caps in the seasonal section of my local Target. Perfect for one stop shopping!
So. These s’more treats. Anything peanut butter is a hit with our family and we have even been using chocolate peanut butter cups in our classic campfire s’mores instead of the traditional chocolate bar. That, my friends, is how this recipe was born. Marshmallow? Check. Graham crackers? Double check. Favorite M&M’s and DOVE Chocolates? Ready to go! Add all this together in an Easter basket and we have a pretty spectacular treat!

One more scrumptious detail! Be sure to mark your calendars for March 20th! Super Targets will be hosting a sampling even that day, making it the perfect time to hop to it and stock up on all you need to play the Easter bunny for your family!

Easy Mini Easter Tarts 
The amount of ingredients you need solely depends on how may of these adorable treats you are going to make! Just be sure to store them on a flat surface in an airtight container.

homemade or purchased mini graham cracker pie crusts/tartlette shells
marshmallow creme/fluff
M&M’s White Strawberry Shortcake candies
DOVE Milk Chocolate & Peanut Butter Eggs
food coloring, optional

If desired, in a medium bowl, combine marshmallow creme with green (or other Easter color of your choice) food coloring to achieve the color you want. These look just as adorable if you leave the marshmallow creme white! Using a large spoon, add a scoop of marshmallow to as many tarts as you plan to make. Creme will level and flatten out on its own so don’t mess with it! 🙂 Place M&M’s on the tarts in desired designs, getting creative and trying different patterns! In addition, unwrap the DOVE Eggs and nestle a few in the ‘nest’ of graham and marshmallow! These look great just displayed on a platter, but they look extra special if you slide them gently into a cellophane snack bag, tie it off with a spring ribbon, and snuggle them into the Easter basket of someone you love! Enjoy!
