Easter Gift Box... The Details (Gooddog you've been warned)

Okie Dokie I've been super busy today.

I'm really excited about this idea...
When I saw these snap apart egg cartons I knew exactly what I wanted to do with them.


What's inside?...

Hand dyed playdough of course.
(Total cost about $1)

Ever since I worked at a chocolate shop in highschool I've wanted to recreate their jelly bean carrot. The bag is a plastic piping bag (I just happen to have hundreds of them lying around... you can get them at Michael's). The hardest part was finding orange Jelly Belly's.

(Total cost about $1.75 for 1/4 pound of Jelly Belly's)

Here is my Easter take on the Christmas White Chocolate Dipped Oreos...

I'm sending a half dozen plain rice krispie treat eggs and a half dozen dipped in White Chocolate and sprinkles.
(Total cost for 2 dozen about $6 but you'll have leftover cereal, white chips (I used half a bag) and sprinkles.)

Of course the box wouldn't be complete without these little guys...

(Total cost about $4 for 3 dozen cookies)

I also found these (rabbit shaped sidewalk chalk) at Target on sale and had to have them!

(Total cost $1.50)

You can get the playdough and sugar cookie recipes HERE. The rice krispie treats are literally just topped with melted white chocolate chips and sprinkles.

I skipped to the end so all i saw were those bunnies...can not freakin wait. I have been telling everyone I know!

Gooddog IS the luckiest dog Kiki, you're right :)

On a side note, Gooddog's family got their first ever real dog yesterday. Hubby's been asking for 10 years and I felt like with my avatar....So, now I can go by "gooddog" legitimately. Or, by "Otis".

Thanks in advance Mrs. F! You made my spring :)

Mrs F -

I wondered if you would provide me Mr F's email address? Marc is doing some research and I wondered if Mr F might be able to assist (regarding adult ADHD).

Sorry to post a comment unrelated to your basket. Which looks delicious by the way!
