1 bottle(s) green food coloring
1 package(s) speckled jelly beans
2 small mini muffin pans
1 package(s) pipe cleaners

Steps:

  • Spray mini muffin pan with Pam throughly. Roll each cookie dough in colored sugar and place each one in the mini pan. Bake at 350 for about 15 mins. when they puff in the middle touch the middle with a spoon and it will fall . That makes the well you will need. Don't overbake..Bake just until you see the edges turning brown and the center doesn't look done.
  • Take out of oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes..Leave them in the pan while finishing the other steps. Bend the pipe cleaners and carefully put in each cookie while warm. (when they cool pipe cleaners will stay put)
  • In the meantime put some coconut in a plastic bag and add the food coloring. Shake until the coconut is covered with the coloring.
  • Take pinches of the coconut and put in each cookie dough basket and then put in 3-4 speckled jelly beans in each one.
  • After the cookies are completely cool they will come out of the pan and look exactly like a basket. Just move the cookie around a bit and it comes right out. These make an adorable Easter Basket

Tips:

  • Use a variety of colors and textures to make your baskets visually appealing. Consider using a combination of chocolate, candy, cookies, and other treats.
  • If you are using chocolate, melt it in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth.
  • To make the baskets, use a muffin tin or small ramekins as molds. Line the molds with plastic wrap or parchment paper for easy removal.
  • Fill the molds with melted chocolate and let it set in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
  • Once the chocolate has set, carefully remove the baskets from the molds and fill them with your favorite treats.
  • You can also decorate the baskets with melted chocolate, sprinkles, or other decorations.
