Mar 27, 2022
Baskets, with their fake grass, plastic and chocolate eggs, and other sweet treats, are synonymous with Easter. For all you DIYers out there, we have just what you need to build the perfect basket for the kids, and the kids at heart.
Here are five of our favorite Easter basket stuffers.
1. Mr. & Mrs. Ears Milk Chocolate Easter Bunnies
No Easter basket is complete without a chocolate bunny. Mr. & Mrs. Ears, a couple since 2013, never go out of style. They are each 10 ounces of solid gourmet milk chocolate, with the silliest, gigantic ears you ever did see. They're so adorable that it may be hard to devour them. Hard but not impossible — those ears are just asking to be nibbled.
2. Easter cookies
Cookie monsters big and small won't be able to get enough of the tasty cookies in this Easter Cookie Gift Box. Each box includes 17 buttery Easter cookies in five varieties, such as raspberry-filled, flower-cutout shortbreads, vanilla shortbreads decorated as chicks, shortbreads with sanding sugar, and classic shortbreads decorated with bunny tails and feet. Include them in each Easter basket you make, but be sure you put a few aside for yourself, too.
3. Easter candy
You can't go wrong with any of these gourmet Easter candies. The contents of this jam-packed basket are perfect for sprinkling the fun in each Easter basket. Choose from a large selection of treats, including gummy candy, jelly beans, chocolate foil Easter eggs, salt water taffy, and more. Get ready for a sugar rush! Don't say we didn't warn you.
4. Moose Munch Premium Popcorn M&M’s Minis
There's nothing wrong with putting all your eggs in one Easter basket, but you should also add Moose Munch. The Moose Munch M&M’S Minis 4-Pack comes with — you guessed it — four bags filled with a delicious mixture of M&M'S Minis, perfectly popped popcorn, creamy caramel, crunchy nuts, and rich chocolate stringing. With this much yumminess, we have only one word to describe these Easter basket stuffers: snacktastic!
5. Chocolate-covered cherries
Our favorite chocolate-covered cherries and berries are sure to kick things up a notch at the egg hunt. They're crafted using sun-ripened cherries (because moon-ripened ones don't taste as sweet) that are dipped twice (which is so much better than once) in either milk or dark chocolate and then smothered in a sweet candy coating. We're not sure why we added these to the list. We love them so much, we'll probably buy the entire lot.
