Chocolate Easter Basket and {Giveaway}

Last week, we participated in the “All About Easter” event at Kiki Creates. Thanks, Kiki, for letting us be a part of it, you did a great job!

I made a pretty white-chocolate Easter basket that was inspired by Bakerella’s Pudding Cups. She dipped balloons in melted chocolate to make little bowls (see her cute picture below).

I dipped a larger balloon in melted white chocolate, placed it onto a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper, and chilled it. After the chocolate had hardened, I popped the balloon, and peeled it off the chocolate shell. I was left with a pretty white bowl!

I dipped another balloon, aprox. the same size, in the chocolate, and chilled it as well. Then, with a butter knife that I warmed on the stove, I cut a strip to use as my basket handle, and attached it with melted chocolate.

Using a flat paintbrush dipped in melted chocolate, I painted on the woven design. I colored chocolate with pink and yellow candy coloring, and spooned each color into a plastic sandwich baggie. After snipping the corner, I piped pretty Spring flowers onto waxed paper, and let them chill. I attached the flowers to the sides of the basket with melted chocolate.

For the eggs, I wrapped plastic Easter eggs with homespun paper yarn (for my tutorial, click here), and filled my pretty basket! Didn’t it turn out lovely?

    I love the No. 3 camera strap!

    I am a beginner candy maker, so it is really neat to see how you made this basket. I never would have thought of dipping a balloon in chocolate. Thanks for sharing!

    First of all, the chocolate basket is adorable!

    As far as the camera straps go, the Super Snazzy Camera Strap Cover (w/o a number) is definitely my favorite! So cute!
