Here Is What You Will Need

1 Snickers Chocolate Bunny
1 Reese’s Chocolate Bunny
1 Box of Sour Patch Bunnies
1 Box of Swedish Fish
1 Nerd’s Rope
1 package of Paper Grass (any color)
1 Sheet of Card Stock
Glue
Tape

How To Make A Candy Box Easter Basket

1. Glue the ends of the candy boxes with the shorter boxes on the ends like in the photo here.

2. Let that set to dry about 15 minutes if you use regular glue. To make this quicker (and to make the hold a bit stronger) you can use a glue gun.

3. Cut a piece of card stock paper to fit the bottom and attach it with glue as well.

4. Add a piece of tape to the ends of your Nerds rope.

5. Press the taped ends in the middle of your small boxes as shown.

6. Fill the box with paper grass.

7. Then, fill the Candy Basket with plastic eggs, Jelly Beans, candy or little toys and trinkets.

Here is a view of the basket from the top.

My boys absolutely loved their Candy Easter Basket! You can get really creative and make an individualized basket for each kiddo using their favorite treats.
