Baked in one pan, this candy-egg-dotted skillet treat is sure to be an Easter hit. — Irene Ngo

Cake & Loaf Bakery in Hamilton, Ont.—now closed, sadly—offered a slew of treats stuffed with Cadbury Mini Eggs every Easter, including these colourful chocolate chunk cookies.

Here’s how to get rid of that Bird’s Custard Powder tin in your pantry—without Nanaimo bars.

Undoubtedly the most classic Canadian bar cookie, Nanaimo bars hail, of course, from Nanaimo, B.C. Here, they are reimagined as sophisticated thumbprints. A rich cocoa base full of coconut, walnuts and graham crumbs is filled with the classic custard filling and finished with a drizzle of dark chocolate.

These spring buns are light, airy and drizzled with the thinnest (but most delicious) glaze. The fresher from the oven they are, the more addictive every bite will be.
