I was just looking for something for this coming Easter when we'll be doing our first basket for our 1.5 year old. I was wondering if I could try making my own chocolate bunny by using your fudge recipe and pouring it into a greased bunny-shaped candy mold... I'm kind of sentimentally attached to the chocolate bunny. Ever tried anything like that? I might just have to try it myself to see. And even if it doesn't end up looking very pretty, it will still taste delicious I'm sure! Thanks for these ideas!

Then we added more kids and a lower income and their baskets contained a bag of jelly brans and a couple plastic eggs with coins in them. This year I am working on usable things for the baskets. Things like ribbon hair ties for my daughter and soon-to-be DIL, a new insulin pump pouch for my diabetic son, a cellphone arm band holder for the teens, etc. And they will get homemade cookies and maybe the traditional sweet tart chicks & bunnies that we love.

I feel like they can get what they want that way. I hope you all still don’t mind the money change i put in each of the eggs. I feel like they can get what they want that way.

A few years I prided myself on making the chocolates myself (translation: melting the little discs and pouring it into molds). I would like to try the flubber with my son again this year, and maybe a cd since he is a teenager. Plus some snacks. But the bunny stays. No, not for him. For ME!! Dove bunny or Gold Lindt please, lol. It's tradition. I have always loved making rather than buying Easter baskets each year , and yes I have been guilty of going Ma wee bit overboard on the candy.

You can often find them way before Easter secondhand. Vaguely spring, baby animal or bunny themed paperback books are nice. You can often find them way before Easter secondhand.

Next year, I'm thinking homemade sidewalk chalk and paint. I'd like to make some kind of treat that I could put in plastic eggs for her to find - I don't think we'll dye them this year. Since I gave up chocolate for Lent, there WILL be some sort of chocolate in MY Easter basket! This year, the 2-year-old is getting homemade bathtub crayons and fingerpaint.

A great reminder that the holidays are WAY TOO commercialized! We don't teach our kids the "Easter Bunny" we teach the the true meaning of Easter our Saviour's resurrection! I am going to try a couple of your recipes thanks for sharing! Easter is such an important holiday I am so glad to know others think so and its not just about money and a bunny!

This year its time for a change! Flubber and craft supplies here we come! Plus, all my kiddos need new toothbrushes (ironic timing) so they will be getting character ones I am usually too cheap to buy but they love! Thanks for the encouragement to be "different".... PS: I also want to make the bubble bath. What kind of shampoo do you use? I am guilty of all six steps!!! This year its time for a change! Flubber and craft supplies here we come!
