Mini Kit Kat Easter Baskets

Sharing is caring!

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Hershey Company. All opinions are 100% mine.

Easter baskets come in all shapes and sizes! They can be big or small, pink or blue, made from straw or plastic…. or what if they were actually made from chocolate?! I’m a big believer that everything just looks cuter and tastes better in miniature form so I decided to make Mini Kit Kat Easter Baskets  that can be used as a cute decoration or even a tasty place card that can be eaten for dessert!

My daughter absolutely loved helping me make them. It was a fun activity for us to do together and she couldn’t wait until the final product was complete so she could dive in!

DIY MINI KIT KAT EASTER BASKETS – WHAT YOU NEED

Mini Kit Kat Easter Baskets

I built my little baskets using a ramekin as  a form. To keep the chocolate from sticking to the ramekin, I cut out a circle of parchment paper and placed it in the bottom. Then, I unwrapped 10 Kit Kat Mini candies and carefully lined the edge. To make a chocolate ‘paste’, I unwrapped a bag of Hersey’s Kisses Candies and melted them in a microwave safe bowl. Place to on high for 30 seconds, stir, than heat for another 30. Pour the chocolate into the bottom to create the base of the basket. Place it in the fridge to speed up the cooling process. After a few hours the ‘basket’ will pop right out. To create the basket handles, I used the same ramekins lined with parchment paper. This time I dipped the Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Eggs in the chocolate paste and created a half circle. Place in fridge. Pop the handle out, dip it on chocolate and place it on the basket, then fill it with Cadbury Mini Eggs Candy. You are done!

    These are adorable! Love that the entire basket is made out of candy (my teens would love this).

I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundr I swear, the second I actually fold all the laundry and put it away, the laundry bins are full again... one thing I NEVER feel caught up on! Do you fold each load as you do it? Or wait until you have a huge pile? I probably fold 1-2 times a week, I always put on a show and try and use it as some quiet time... #thisis30s

One of my favorite traditions we started since we’ve “been home”, is our weekly family movie night EVERY Friday night! We order take out from a local restaurant (we rotate who gets to pick the place) and then we cuddle up and watch a new movie none of us have seen. We’ve had to start going back to the archives a bit recently ha! But the kids love it and so do we. Having this space all finished so we can all lounge in here comfortably has been so nice. We haven’t picked a movie for tonight yet, last week we watched Beethoven circa 1992 and our kids were cracking up the whole time!

Well, I think I just added a new project to my lis Well, I think I just added a new project to my list! After many years of doing this job full time, my “office” has typically been the living room couch and the kitchen counter... but that isn’t really sustainable anymore (not a bad thing!), so my husband and I talked about turning his home office into a shared office space soon! Honestly, I don’t know why it took us so long to do this, maybe because it hasn’t really been as much of an issue until now, but I’ve got some ideas for my new office space in here! I won’t change a whole lot, but I think it’s going to be simple and perfect! Do you and your spouse share an office space?!

I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We I finally found THE piece for above the mantel! We officially took down the TV and moved it to the wall. I was looking for either a modern artwork piece or mirror and I am in love with this one! It’s the perfect mix of simple and modern with subtle mid-century modern lines. I’m sharing more angles on the blog today with links.

Happy Friday! A few common questions that have com Happy Friday! A few common questions that have come up about the staircase gallery wall this week... 1) the wall color is called Rebel by Kilz 2) the print size is 16 x 20 and 3) I have two full blog posts dedicated to how I picked the prints and links to the frames and also another one on building out the wall. Hope that helps!

Would you believe this brick wall is just removabl Would you believe this brick wall is just removable wallpaper?! It’s simple things like this that can completely change a space. It’s great for rentals or apartments because it won’t ruin the walls when you take it down! I’ve used it in a few rooms of our home and I’m a big fan.

I’ve got bathrooms on my mind! Here is our kids’ shared jack-n-Jill bathroom that I did a few years back. I still love the design and so glad I went with a pop of blue in here! I’ve started the planning process for our other upstairs bathroom and went searching for tile today (see stories)! I am getting so excited for this project, I’ve been gathering tons of inspiration photos and I’ll share them this week!
