Happy Easter 2012

Every year I struggle to find the right time to sneak around the house and leave the goodies for my boys. This year was no different. Thankfully last night they stayed up later and are still asleep this morning.

I originally wanted to make edible Easter baskets made of chocolate, filled with coconut shavings dyed green for grass and filled with jelly beans and peeps. However having recently moved, I can't locate all of my baking/crafting tools and so this is what I came up with.

The tins were purchased at the Party Store for $2 and the candy were on sale for $0.07 per piece. A steal in my eyes. Remember the penny candy stores back in the day? I guess this is the next best thing.

Although not what I originally planned I'm still very happy with the outcome. Wouldn't you agree these are sweet treats?!?
