With all of the cold weather we have been having here in the northeast, it is having me yearn for the warmer nicer days of spring. Those days are coming, and hopefully I will start to see the change of seasons soon. With the change of seasons comes Easter, one of my favorite holidays, it is a great time to get together with my family and have some quality family time together. Are you ready for Easter? Well to get you ready I have a yummy recipe to share with you all, a sweet and delicious recipe that uses fresh Sweet Wonderful Halos Mandarin Orange Cookies. These refreshing cookies really put me in a spring frame of mind, and I am sure your family will love them too.

With spring and sunnier days just around the corner,
Wonderful Halos mandarins are the perfect snack to help get you in the
mood. As you may know, Halos are in season November through May.
Sweet, seedless and easy to peel Halos are easy to pack in lunches, great to
share at kid’s activities and sporting events, and make a healthy snack choice
any time of the day.
They can even turn snack time into a fun craft project. Additionally, Wonderful Halos mandarins are a healthy alternative, delivering vitamin C in about 50 calories. So these would make great Easter basket fillers, a sweet treat that is much better for the kids than candy!

my favorite way to eat Halos is just throwing a couple in my purse for an easy on the go energy snack while running errands.
I love to eat Halos plain as they are.
Oh we love eating them plain for snacks and with our lunches! But..I think one of my favorite ways is in a cold chicken noodle salad with grapes too!
I love eating them by themselves.
