Who needs the Easter basket full of chocolate eggs when you’ve got this winning Easter basket cupcake, topped with tinted coconut to resemble grass and garnished with jelly bean eggs? The waffle bowls can be found in the supermarket with all the ice cream toppings. For a special presentation, decorate with cute yellow marshmallow Peeps and arrange on a platter with wheat grass surrounding the little baskets. It’s best to eat these cupcakes with a fork.
* Makes 10 baskets (4 inches each)
Marshmallows are incredibly cool -- not only do they taste good, but by lighting them you can create a great source of light in a dark campsite! Kids love them and they will love to make them. Have some fun with them too...see who can stuff the most marshmallows into their own mouths.
Marshmallows are actually a candy, and have existed in present-day form since the mid-1800s. They are called "marshmallows" because part of the early recipe called for sap from the root of the marshmallow plant.
