From social distancing to being out of work, everyone in the world is feeling the effects of the coronavirus pandemic. We’re all in this together and need to stay positive to get through it, and Easter, an upcoming holiday filled with spring colors, sweet treats, and faith, is one way to bring happiness. So why get regular chocolate or candy? Instead, go all out with one of the Easter treats we suggest below.

Most of these were sent to me to sample and check out for myself, while others are just too beautiful-looking for me not to include. Check out the best of the best:
