Chocolate Easter Baskets

We love to make these custom chocolate baskets filled with candies for Easter.  They are the perfect complement to your Easter tablescape, and can serve as place card holders or individual dessert favors.

Ingredients and supplies:

Small Balloons

Cups

Chocolate chips or Melting Drops

Zipper bag

1.  Blow up balloons to size you prefer for your baskets.  (We used very small balloons.)

2.  Wash and dry balloons.

3.  Set each balloon in a cup to hold it steady.  (We used dixie cups.)

4.  Add chocolate chips or drops to zipper bag, and microwave in 20 second intervals until melted.  Knead between palms to mix melted chocolate thoroughly.

5.  Using scissors, snip just the tip off the corner of the zipper bag.

6.  Drizzle chocolate over balloons, first one direction, then the other, making a crisscross pattern.

7.  Allow chocolate to set in refrigerator.

8.  Pop balloons and carefully peel away from chocolate. 

9.  Fill chocolate baskets with candy and enjoy!

Happy Creating!
