Easter Basket Cupcakes Recipe

☆.•♥• Easter Basket Cupcakes Recipe! •♥•☆

I just came across this on Face book wanted to share it with the Hostile Network.

To make these you'll need:

cake mix

sugar cones

frosting

coconut
food coloring
jelly beans
licorice

Directions:
Cut the bottom off the sugar cones.
Place sugar cones in cupcake baking cups & in cupcake pan.
(Tip: I used the mini cupcake baking cups to catch any stray cake batter at the bottom of the open cone.)

Prepare cake mix, fill cones half way & bake cupcakes.
Color coconut with food coloring.

Remove cupcake baking cups from cone & frost cupcakes once they've cooled.

Dip tops of cupcakes into colored coconut.

Top with jelly beans.
(Tip: If jelly beans fall off, put a little frosting on back side of jelly bean to make it stick to top of coconut.)

Cut licorice to size and place on cupcake to look like basket handle.

You can also make these without the cones.
I made regular sized cupcakes with the rest of the cake batter & we braided the licorice for the handles.

Homemade Green Bean Casserole

I decided to share this particular  Squidoo Lens, since I myself was in fact looking for this recipe, it seems just at the moment she shared it on her Facebook wall. Needless to say I immediately went and took all the notes I believe I will need to be successful in creating my own families casserole.  I hope this helps a few others as much as it helped me, both in knowledge and confidence.
Included are two different green bean casserole recipes: the quick and easy Campbell's soup recipe, and the fresh, gourmet homemade green bean casserole recipe from Alton Brown.

I love sweets and cookies and pies and on and on, so this is definitely one of my favorites. Kids will enjoy making these with you also the so simple they can do most of it on their own. we use cooking and measuring and such as teaching devices in our home maybe you can use them the same way. we enjoy the time spent as a family making them and making them disappear.
