Marshmallow Easter Basket
Ingredients
- Approximately 20 to 30 yellow, lavender, pink and/or white marshmallow chicks
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 (10 ounce) bag jelly beans
- 1 small bag shredded white coconut
- Green food coloring
Instructions
- Take four marshmallow chicks that are still connected and flatten with palm of your hand to create a bottom for the basket.
- Assemble still-connected chicks around the perimeter of the bottom of the basket (approximately 12-15 chicks).
- In a small bowl, mix 2 cups of confectioners' sugar with enough water to make a thick icing.
- Place the icing in a plastic sandwich bag and snip the end of the bag.
- To hold the sides to the bottom, squeeze the icing around the perimeter of the basket.
- For any gaps between the basket and bottom, place a jelly bean in the hole and squeeze icing around.
- Place basket in refrigerator until icing has hardened, about 3 hours.
- When icing has hardened, remove basket from the refrigerator.
- Mix drops of green food coloring with coconut to resemble grass and fill basket with coconut, marshmallow chicks and jelly beans (and anything else you choose).
