Hippity, hoppity, Easter's on it's way — and the piles of candy with it! While we might be a little obsessed with a few of the store-bought varieties (mini eggs, anyone?) we love rolling up our sleeves and turning out a batch of homemade candy.

It's easier than you think, as most recipes only require a few ingredients and a watchful eye. We even have no-bake recipes to get the proverbial candy ball rolling.

So if you're looking to take Easter sweets to another level, check out our favorite homemade candy recipes from Food Fanatic and our contributors.
