I used to love playing with rubik’s cubes when I was a kid. Here are just some of the baskets they had that I thought were super cute. There were literally so many baskets it was hard to choose. I found so many great toys and basket items to create at least 20 different versions of Easter baskets that any kid would love.Īmazing baskets! They had sports themed, assorted colors, shapes, sizes, and even finishes. I usually find great stuff for this season and you really can’t beat the price.
With Easter just in a few weeks, I thought I’d take you along with me to do some shopping for Easter baskets and stuffers at the Dollar Tree. I welcome all the bright and cheery colors that the Dollar Tree has to offer in their Easter selection. Lately, with all the rain we’ve gotten in California this year, I’m completely over the moon to jump into Spring! With Springtime just around the corner, and Easter quickly approaching, this is the perfect time to start shopping for Easter basket items. I’ve even written a couple of posts about what to buy and what to avoid from the Dollar Tree. If you’ve been here a while, you know that I love shopping at the Dollar Tree in general. These beauties will last 7+ days at room temperature.The Dollar Tree is one of my favorite places to shop for Easter. This only happens when it’s been heated too long, or at too high a temperature.
CHOCOLATE EASTER BASKETS FULL
If your mixture splits, take it off the heat and mix through a little double cream or full fat milk and it’ll come back together. I scooped mine using a cookie scoop and put them onto a lined tray as I wanted them to look more like wild nests/cookies, but you can, of course, put it into a cupcake case if you prefer! Whatever takes your fancy. For some reason, it becomes a gloopy mess with anything else added in. Also, if you can’t access golden syrup… you should just use chocolate on its own. If you want to use just white chocolate, you need to just use the chocolate. I wouldn’t generally use white chocolate for this, however, as it doesn’t mix well with the butter and syrup. Most of the time when baking for kids, I would recommend milk chocolate (like I have used in this recipe) but some people do prefer dark – the mixture of both chocolates is by far the best though. When making these, you can use milk or dark chocolate. Cereal – I use shredded wheat for these as they are the closest thing to making the bake look like a birds nest – but you can use whatever cereal you like! Cornflakes, Rice Krispies, and so on! They all work, and it’s basically good to use up what you have in the cupboard!.Syrup – Golden syrup is one of the best ingredients to exist, just saying.Butter – I always use block butter, never a spread when doing this – the spreads or margarines can split and cause a mess.Chocolate – The best is to use milk/dark chocolate – the sweetness comes from the syrup as well, but don’t worry, it’s not too much.The reason I love it is that the recipe is softer than just chocolate on its own.ĭon’t get me wrong, chocolate and cereal together are still epic, but I much prefer it to not completely rock solid like melted chocolate, and I find the flavour along with the butter and syrup is just simple no-bake heaven. I use this recipe in basically all of my rocky roads and tiffins, just with slight variations of chocolate or the measurements of the ingredients.
Something about the mix of chocolate, syrup and butter makes a wonderful treat. Since I was little, I used to make a cornflake cake (or my cornflake and Malteser rocky road) that was literally this mixture, but with cornflakes, in a cake tin and sliced. However, I’ve always done mine differently! Most of the time when you are younger, you just use chocolate and shredded wheat (or occasionally other cereals such as cornflakes, or Rice Krispies). SO… this is one of the best things you can ever eat as a kid, and even though I am 27 years old at the time of writing this, I am still just as happy when I get to eat one (or five). I realise I have been blogging for five years, but here we are! It’s one of the most highly requested easter bakes in a long time. Let’s just say, that this is a recipe that pretty much everyone has already made, but I thought I would post ‘my version’ anyway. Please see my disclosure for more details!* Easy four ingredient no-bake Easter nests topped with your favourite Easter chocolates!
