hand-decorated Belgian dark chocolate Easter egg filled with
marshmallow and caramel, a smaller "Elvis" egg filled with banana, marshmallow and peanut butter, and a third "PBJ" egg filled with peanut butter and grape jelly.Also includes rock candy lollipops. $54 here
Hershey - Bliss Basket
Speaking of classic, I bet a pretty large majority of Easter baskets contain at least one item from the the world's most famous chocolate maker, Hershy's. Might as well just go all the way and just go Hershey's, Hershey's and more Hershey's. This basket contains Milk Chocolate Eggs, Milk Chocolate Eggs with Meltaway Center, Dark Chocolate Squares, Milk Chocolate Squares and Milk Chocolate Hollow Bunny - $32.95 here
Sucré Easter Basket
From the New Orleans based treat shop, this basket is filled with an hollow milk chocolate bunny, twelve handmade
seasonal marshmallows, handmade cotton candy, 4oz. bag of jelly beans
and 3- 1 oz signature dark chocolate caramel eggs. Basket colors (blue, pink, green, purple and yellow) are chosen at random, so don't get married to a certain hue. $39 here. And their macaroons were just featured in O magazine, so you may wanna pick up some of those while you are at it.
