Homemade Chocolate Easter Baskets
Author: Frenchie for The Crafting Chicks
Ingredients
  • Mini Cupcake Liners
  • Red Pull-Apart Twizzlers
  • Easter M&M's
  • Sweetened Coconut
  • White Chocolate or White CandyMelts
  • Green Food Coloring
Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees and spread your coconut onto a non-stick baking sheet. Place it into the oven for 7 minutes, stir, cook for a remaining 2 minutes until most of the coconut has browned.
  2. Set up all your mini cupcake liners, M&M's and Twizzlers so that your baskets will be ready to assemble. Cut your Twizzlers into 3" pieces and separate them into individual strands.
  3. Next, temper your chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals until all the chocolate is mostly melted. Add the coconut and 2 drops of green food coloring and stir until it is combined.
  4. Pour the chocolate mixture into each liner and then you'll drop your 'eggs' into the basket.
  5. Next take your Twizzlers and bend it around so that it creates the handle. Hold it until it is set.
Notes
I have found it's easier to use a mini muffin tin when forming these. It gives stability to the liners and won't cause the handles to fall over. For more tips on tempering your chocolate, visit http://frenchiewraps.com/matchstick-valentines-free-printable
