Bake or use pre-made sugar cookies – any recipe will do so use a favorite. They can be soft or crisp depending upon personal preference. Use icing and pipe (you can use a zip-lock baggie with corner cut off) a dollop right in the middle to attach your gum drop. Pipe around edge of gum drop and then around the edge of the cookie itself. Use candy sprinkles in multiple colors or candy sugar or one color. Sombreros are always individual so have fun and be creative and make each one different.
These are really great – and they are super easy to assemble.
Needed:
Mini-Snickers Bars, Reece’s Pieces OR M&M Plain, Teddy Grahams and either chocolate icing or 1 cup chocolate chips for melting
What Now:
Place Mini-Snickers out on parchment paper. Break 1/3 off of the bottoms of your Teddies. With a knife poke a hole for Teddy to fit it. With melted chocolate or chocolate icing dip Reece’s Pieces or M&M Plain candies into it and attach giving Teddy a steering wheel and wheels.
This would be great for a child’s party, or a little pick me up for school. Would also make a nice addition to a festive dinner.
This is such a great little edible goodie that you can make for Easter: parties, kids school functions, bake sale etc.

4 cups miniature marshmallows
5 cups crisp rice cereal

Use your favorite sugar cookie recipe and divide cookie dough into at least four equal portions and use a separate food color to dye each section of dough.
Spray inside of mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
Place a small amount of dough into each well and bake according to your sugar cookie recipes directions but watching to make sure they don’t burn.
When cookies are removed from oven and while cookies are still warm make an impression into them with your thumb to make the inside of the basket.
Be careful to make sure you are not putting your thumb into a cookie that is too hot so you don’t get burned. When cookie is completely cooled pipe icing into the cookie well after you have removed cookies from mini muffin pan.
Place jelly beans, M&M’s, chocolate chips etc into the icing.
Sprinkle coconut if you like around candies that were inserted. At the end use a section of string licorice to make a handle for the basket.
Great for parties, kids school functions including bake sales and can be placed on small plates around a party gathering to provide a sense of Easter decorations.
