Marshmallow Easter Basket


 
Ingredients 
  • 20 - 30 yellow, lavender, pink or white marshmallow chicks 
  • 2 cups confectioner's sugar 
  • 10 ounce bag jelly beans 
  • 1 small back shredded white coconut 
  • green food coloring 


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).
