Easy Easter Coconut Basket Treats

Easter Coconut Basket Treats

Looking for a simple Easter dessert to put together that is easy and quick?  These coconut basket treats are simple and so delicious. There is no baking and require just 3 ingredients.

We used sour jelly beans to counter the sweetness from the chips. The baskets are a simple small snack to enjoy and you can make them anytime, swapping out the jelly beans for your favorite chocolate candies or gummies.

What Ingredients Are Needed?

• chocolate chips
• butterscotch chips
• coconut flakes
• jelly beans

How Long Do I Microwave the Chips?

How long to microwave, is dependent on the size of your microwave. You might want to add a little oil into the chips as well to help the chocolate melt smooth.

Love these, you may want to make the edible Easter egg nests too.

Coconut Basket Tips

• Depending on your microwave strength, the time to melt the chocolate may take less/more time
• Prep as much as you can in advanced so the coconut does not set up before you put the jelly beans on it
• Put the cupcake liners in the mini cupcake tin before you start to melt the chocolate
• Have the coconut ready to go in a bowl before you melt the chocolates
• Open the jelly bean bag and have a few out to put on the baskets
