Easter Treats

-------------------

I made these for teachers a few years ago, but you could make them for your kids to add in their Easter baskets, a surprise for the mailman, or your lovely co-workers.

I’ll admit, it is really more of something cute, than something yummy to eat---it is just plain Marshmallows after all.  I just thought they looked cute.

 The original idea came from Eighteen25.blogspot.com

These “easter baskets”  are mini waffle cones filled with jelly beans

The hard part was making the handle

I poked a hole, a very tiny hole at the top of each cone

I alternated the “handle” between pipe cleaners and heavy Easter grass

I am not sure why, could be I ran out of pipe cleaners, they are more sturdy, but the hole is just sooo teeny

I put some Easter grass on the bottom of a platter, put the baskets on top and served them at my little’s preschool Easter party.

these are super simple and easy to make

you will need:

clear spoons (depends on how many you plan on making)

or you could use lots of colorful spoons

chocolate chips

chocolate sprinkles 

Whoppers eggs and/or Reeces eggs

bags to put them in

ribbon to tie

tags to label

Microwave chips for 45 seconds (I usually start at half power)

Stir and heat for another 45 seconds

Keep going until smooth

Dip the spoon in the chocolate, remove excess, you only wnat a thin layer

Place 3 eggs on the spoon (I usually try to make sure I have at least one pretty blue egg, like a robin’s egg, but that’s just me

Sprinkle the chocolate sprinkles around the eggs.

Put in fridge to set

Put in a baggie (I used long Pretzel bags)

Add tag & ribbon and serve to  your favorite peeps

you will need:

cheese balls

plastic icing bags (I think I used Wilton)

green curly ribbon

Place cheese balls in the bag

tie off with the ribbon at the large end
