Hello and welcome! So this is my Weekly Shopping ideas and if you are wanting to buy some bits for Easter, then here is some Good Ideas for Easter basket ideas for kids, adult friends and other members of your family.
So first of all, making your own chocolates. These are so easy to do, and if I get a chance I will demonstrate how I make my own chocolates and Easter eggs as all you need is
- Chocolate milk or dark, usually the 75% cocoa chocolate
- Moulds
- Wooden spoon
- Glass mixing bowl
- Saucepan of boiling water
- Mini Gift Food bags with personalised sticker to seal the bags or ribbon.
Check out Etsy for ideas or to buy:
All you do is;
- Melt the chocolate in the Glass mixing bowl on top of your saucepan with water, not touching the bowl. You can even add some butter or Golden Syrup too to make the chocolate even richer and to use it to also make Rice Krispie or Cornflakes cakes to add to the basket
- Get your moulds and fill each mould with #chocolate.
- And here is a Hack: Put the moulds onto a tray underneath and pour the chocolate in each one of the moulds, and then put in the fridge or even as I have done before in the Freezer and then they will last longer and then melt some more chocolate to act as glue to seal them if they are an easter egg mould or edible baking glue
- Put in bags, and a really good touch is to add a little message in each one.
Poundland do some really good decor and gifts for Easter too and check out Wish and Amazon as you could do a personalised box of chocolates if you didn’t want to make a basket. Add a Jar of Cocoa Powder, with some marshmellows and put “Just add milk and cream”.
What else you can do is get some old childhood favourite chocolate and sweets into a jar to add to a gift basket with Easter masks, colour papers of Easter images or if you are going to have an Easter get together as hopefully lockdown may end then, have your own Pick ‘n’ Mix table.
Why not add a book about Easter and a Easter Holiday Film. You make it as fun as possible and enjoy it. I think with Lockdown we could all do with a treat and be able to spend time with all the people we love again.
