Whether you're excited to see what he has in his basket for you, or are just feeling extra enthusiastic for spring, these recipes will have everyone coming back for more!

Spring Easter Treat Ideas

 Chocolate Dipped Peeps

1-2 packages of Peeps

1 package white or chocolate candy melts

Sprinkles

Now this is a peep-tastic idea! Peeps are a classic Easter treat, but what's even better is dipping them in chocolate! Grab some candy melts then use a microwave safe bowl to melt them in 30 second increments, making sure to stir between each interval. Then dip away and let the Peeps rest on some wax paper so the chocolate can set completely. If you want to add any sprinkles, just sprinkle them on before the chocolate hardens!

Bunny Bait

2 cups pretzels

1 bag popped white popcorn

1 package white melting chocolate

1 bag festive M&M's

2 cups Chex cereal

1 container colored sprinkles

Sweet and salty snacker? Look no further than Bunny Bait for your spring treat! Mix up some pretzels, popcorn and Chex cereal on a baking sheet and then drizzle with some melted chocolate. You can either use the leftover melted candy melts from above, or melt some more in 30 second increments. Then give the mixture a stir, top with sprinkles, and let it set (speed up the process by tossing the baking sheet in the fridge). Finally, break the bark into pieces, add M&M's or speckled eggs, and then serve it up!

Chocolate Egg Nests

1 package chocolate candy melts

2 cups pretzel sticks, broken up

Spring M&M's or speckled eggs

If you're going for the impressive-presentation-factor, then these adorable chocolate egg nests will get the job done, and they are easier than they look to make! Again, melt your package of candy melts and then stir in 2 cups of broken up pretzel sticks. On a sheet of parchment paper, begin for form little piles or "nests" with the chocolate-covered pretzels. Let the chocolate harden and then top with your "eggs"!

Chocolate Dipped Rice Krispie Treat Eggs

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal

10oz mini marshmallows

1/4 cup butter

1 bag chocolate candy melts

Sprinkles

Egg-shaped cookie cutter

But if you want to keep things classic, there is nothing better than a great Rice Krispie Treat! So mix up your go-to Rice Krispie Treat recipe, and then whip out your favorite spring cookie cutter (we used an egg shape)! Then if you want to make them even better, melt some more candy melts and decorate them with chocolate and sprinkles! It's that easy!

Spring Driving Safety Tips

COCOA, Flor.– Spring has finally arrived and while we're excited for the wonderful weather to come, the new season is also an important time to review some spring driving safety tips so that we can cruise into summer without a worry in the world. 

Spring Driving Safety Tips

-Do a quick vehicle check. You know what they say: April showers bring May flowers. Spring rain hinders driving visibility so making sure your lights and wiper blades are in good working order is important to ensure safety on the road. If your lights are dull or burnt out and your wiper blades can't properly remove water from your windshield, you won't be able the road ahead. While you're checking your lights and wiper blades, check your tire pressure too. Winter weather can deflate your tires, and as a bonus proper tire pressure can help to increase fuel economy.

-Reduce your speed in the rain. Wet pavement increases your vehicle's stopping distance and spring's first few rainy days can result in exceptionally slippery roads due to oil and other leaked fluids that have built up on the roads. So when the rain starts to fall, make sure to slow down and increase your stopping distance. 

-Be especially aware of your surroundings. As the weather warms up, people and animals become more active outdoors. Whether it's motorcycles, bikes, runners, or walkers, always make sure to look twice before making any traffic maneuvers. Plus, animals become more active too as they come out of hibernation and begin mating season, so keep your eyes and attention on the road ahead of you.
