We have a busy weekend ahead filled with brunches, birthday parties, and a host of Easter celebrations. Since food is such an integral part of Easter traditions and celebrations, I thought I’d share some of my favorite chocolate-themed recipes from the company that knows a thing or two about chocolate.
Each season, the Hershey Company offers new products and a holiday-themed site which includes recipes, crafts, tips, ideas, and more. Some of the inspirational content on the site includes basket ideas, Easter egg decorating and egg Hunt ideas, scrapbooking essentials, party favors, and much more!

One of my favorite Hershey products, that I sometimes have difficulty locating is their Cinnamon Chips. You’ll typically find them more prominent in stores during the holidays. I really enjoy the way these chips melt into foods to create a rich but not overwhelming flavor to recipes. Since we’re having a brunch with some of our friends, I thought I’d make these super easy and flavorful Cinnamon Chip Muffins:
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose biscuit baking mix
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup HERSHEY’S Cinnamon Chips
2/3 cup milk
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 400°F. Grease or paperline 12 muffin cups (2-1/2-inches in diameter).
2. Stir together baking mix, sugar, vegetable oil, egg, cinnamon chips and milk in medium bowl just until moistened. Divide batter evenly into prepared muffin cups.
3. Bake 15 to 18 minutes or just until browned. Cool slightly; remove from pan. 12 muffins.
This season, the company introduced five new products, including a line of Hop-inspired treats sold exclusively at Walmart. I have to admit that being the chocoholic that I am, this is one of my favorite times of the year for interesting chocolate varieties from the Hershey Company. My two favorite chocolate fixes around Easter include their Whoppers Robin Eggs and the infamous Cadbury Creme Egg. New this year are their mini versions of the Whoppers Robin Eggs, packaged in an adorable bunny bag (I can tell you those didn’t last more than a day!). You’ll also find their new Solid Milk Chocolate Snapsy Bunny which brilliantly breaks apart into edible pieces, just like a chocolate bar!

Now I prefer to eat my chocolate, but if you’re looking for a crafty Easter-themed project, check out their ideas for a Foil Egg Wreath which utilizes Hershey’s Solid Milk Chocolate Eggs and their Flower Pot Bouquet which utilizes Jolly Rancher Jelly Beans and assorted Hershey’s pastel foil wrapped candy.
