Bright and cheerful, these Easter Basket Cookie Cups are sure to delight everyone this Easter season!

Time for a little Easter fun today! I brought these little treats to both Reece’s and Bryce’s classes today and let me tell you, there is nothing more satisfying or more gratifying than the sight of delighted little faces. It makes the little extra effort it took to prepare these baskets so, so worth it.

I wanted to do something really fun and after looking at some of my more recent posts I was inspired by my Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Cookie Cups from a couple of weeks ago. Do you guys remember these?

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

One of my favorite parts of these cookie cups was coating the rim with chocolate jimmies. I really thought it added a little wow factor to the cookie cups. It occured to me that I could total do the same thing with green jimmies and it would give the effect of a nest or Easter basket.

I couldn’t resist the Easter baskets 🙂

When I saw the pink/purple/white jimmies I HAD to pick them up as well. Bryce’s class is like 75% girls. Totally nailed it because ALL the girls wanted the “pretty” baskets. I thought they were all pretty 🙂

I went with the Rainbow Twizzlers because they are so bright and fun and “bendy”. They work really well for the Easter baskets! I picked up a couple different bags of jelly beans and filled the baskets with jelly bean ‘eggs”. This was, not surprisingly, the kid’s favorite part 🙂

I got asked more than once, “You mean we can eat the WHOLE thing???” Sure can!

    This is adorable! I literally awwed out loud when I saw this. It’s also quite clever, using sprinkles for grass and flavored twizzlers as the handle. I love it!

    When we were growing up, my brother and I were obsessed with fun, cute treats like these! We always looked for the Women’s Day magazines (I think those were the ones at least) during the summer with the cakes decorated to look like pools or oceans with Teddy Grahams lounging on Lifesaver inner tubes or bubble gum beach towels. Your little baskets totally remind me of that — and I’d definitely take a “pretty” basket too. Purple is my favorite color!!
