- Put chow mein noodles into a large bowl. Pour marshmallow mixture over the chow mein noodles; stir to coat.
- Spray hands with cooking spray or coat with butter so the noodles will not stick to your hands. Scoop noodle mixture from bowl with an ice cream scoop and form into balls, hollowing the center out to create the nest. Arrange 4 chocolate eggs into each nest.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat ovento 350. Drop liners into 2, 12 count cupcake pans.
- 2. Place cake mix, pudding mix, milk, oil, eggs, egg whites, and coconut flavoring in a large mixing bowl. Beat with a mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape sides of bowl, and beat on medium for 2 minutes, scraping sides if needed. Batter will be very thick.
- 3. Fill each cupcake 2/3 full of batter. Bake cupcakes until they are lightly golden and spring back when lightly pressed with your finger, 22-25 minutes. Remove pans from oven and place cupcakes on a wire rack to cool.
- 4. Meanwhile, prepare the Buttercream Frosting. Place butter in a large mixing bowl. Beat on low speed until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, 3 T of milk, and vanilla. Beat on low until sugar is incorporated, about 1 minute. Increase speed to medium and beat until light and fluffy. Add up to 1 T more milk if the frosting seems too stiff.
- 5. Place coconut in a Ziploc bag with 2 drops of green food coloring. Shake well until the coconut turns green. If you'd like a stronger color, add another drop and shake again.
- 6. To assemble: Place frosting on each cupcake and smooth out, covering the tops completely. Immediately sprinkle on the coconut to resemble grass and place candies in the middle to resemble eggs. To create the basket handle, trim about 1.5 inches off the end of a Twizzler, and insert one end of it in one side of the cupcake near the edge, bend, and insert the other end in opposite side. (I found it easier if I first made small holes in each cupcake with a knife)

Tips:
- Choose the Right Bread: Select a sturdy bread that can hold the weight of the edible Easter basket. Some good options include French bread, sourdough, or Italian bread.
- Cut Evenly: When cutting the bread, ensure the slices have consistent thickness throughout the loaf. This ensures even cooking and a uniform appearance.
- Shape the Basket: Use a round cookie cutter or a sharp knife to cut out the bread slices into circular shapes. Overlap the slices slightly to form a basket-like structure.
- Secure the Basket: To keep the bread basket intact during baking, use toothpicks or wooden skewers to secure the overlapping slices together.
- Add Sweetness: If desired, brush the bread basket with melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle sugar or grated Parmesan cheese before baking for a savory twist.
- Bake Evenly: Place the bread basket on a baking sheet or a wire rack to ensure even heat distribution during baking. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through the baking time for uniform browning.
- Let It Cool: Allow the bread basket to cool completely before filling it with Easter treats. This helps the basket retain its shape and prevents it from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Creating edible Easter baskets from bread is a fun and creative way to add a unique touch to your Easter celebration. These baskets are not only visually appealing but also delicious and sturdy enough to hold various Easter treats. With careful preparation and attention to detail, you can easily make these edible Easter baskets using simple ingredients and basic kitchen tools.
