Easter Dessert Recipes by Martha Stewart

In honor of fast-approaching Easter, I thought I would share a few dessert recipes from the domestestic queen. You could go the cute critter route or the understated route. Either way, I'm sure your Easter guests would enjoy! Just a warning, though. Some of these looked a little complicated (check out the chocolate eggs below. It's quite the process.) Oh, Martha, how do you make it all look so easy? Regardless, I included the recipes and how-to's. Just click on the dessert of your choice.
