Method
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 confectioner's 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).
