Sticky Baskets
I found these baskets to be fun but REALLY sticky! I mixed in plain M & M's and Reese's Pieces into the noodle marshmallow cream mixture, then used a muffin tin to help form the baskets, but you could just use your fingers. Next time I make these baskets, I think I will use just the noodles and marshmallow cream, keeping the M & M's and Reese's Pieces to decorate. To put inside of the baskets I colored fondant and made eggs, you could use peanut M & M's, jelly beans, or whatever you like.  Whichever way you choose, this is a fun one for the family.
