Do you have Easter traditions in your house? We’ve always created a fun scavenger hunt for our family to find their Easter Baskets with each clue stuck inside a plastic egg full of magical Jellybeans that leads them on to the next clue. This year, I did something extra and threw a full blown Jellybean Party for my family which included a Jellybean Tree, Jellybean Dessert Pizza and magical Jellybean Seeds.

I love Easter Candy! Easter Candy to me pretty much means chocolate and Jellybeans. I love how Jellybeans come in a variety of flavors and colors and are the perfect little candy to eat and decorate with for Easter with too.
Since most parties includes pizza and since this was a Jellybean party, I decided to make a Jellybean Desert Pizza. The pizza dough is made of a simple Sugar Cookie recipe. I really like this recipe since it easy to make and doesn’t require refrigeration before baking.
How to make Jellybean Dessert Pizza
- 1 Egg
- 1 cup Butter (softened)
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 tsp. Vanilla
- ½ tsp Lemon Extract (or other flavor extract)
- 2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 3 cups Flour
- Cream butter, sugar, vanilla and lemon extract. Add in egg.
- Mix flour and baking soda together in another bowl.
- Mix dry ingredients in to sugar mixture.
- Roll out half of dough on to pizza pan.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes depending on size and thickness of crust.
- Frost dessert pizza with canned frosting, decorate with Jellybeans
After the dough was made, I rolled it on to a pizza pan to bake. You will only need about half of the dough to make the Jellybean Dessert Pizza crust.
While the dough was baking, I made decorations for our Jellybean Party by hot gluing Jellybeans on to tree branches that I had previously spray painted white.
Now on to the fun part, frost and decorating the Jellybean Dessert Pizza! I kept it simple by just using store bought frosting .
Can you see the Jellybean Smiley Face? Starburst® Jellybeans are the perfect solution for Easter treats, Easter baskets and are sure to bring a smile to your face.
After the Jellybean Dessert Pizza is decorated, slice it up and enjoy!
Did you know that Jellybeans can also be magical? If you plant Jellybeans Seeds on Easter Eve, Lollipops grow. They Do! This fun lil’ tradition has been happening for years in my house. Even though my kids are grown, its actually a memory they still talk about and look forward to doing every year.
To make your Jellybeans magical, you first need to believe in magic. Then, plant your magical Jellybeans in potting soil and if the Easter Bunny { remembers to} sprinkles his magic on Easter morning…… Lollipops will grow!
I hope this Jellybean Party inspires you to bring a little bit of creative magic in to your Easter traditions this year.
