Families all around Baton Rouge will be stuffing baskets with sweet treats, salty snacks and bunny-themed trinkets to exchange this Easter Sunday, April 21.
Here in the Capital City, we love to support our local businesses. But for some of us, a quick trip to Target to gather all the chocolate bunnies, colored marshmallows and other Easter essentials is about all we can manage during this busy pre-summer season.
Finding local goods is not as hard as you might think, though. We’ve put together a handy list of Baton Rouge treats to include in your Easter baskets for a fun, Louisiana twist on this holiday tradition.
