Monday I posted about some of the major FAILS I had when trying to put together Easter treats. Basically, I knew I wanted to use leftover green candy melts and Easter sprinkles I just HAD to get when I saw them in the Target Dollar Spot. Oh, and I also didn’t want to purchase anything else. Which meant raiding our cabinets for something that would be both tasty and pretty with those items.
Add to the scenario that it was already after 9 o’clock on a work night and I had to be up at 5:30 the next morning and you will know that I was getting desperate. Desperate enough to try putting chocolate on animal crackers. Seriously.
After finally admitting that even the little one’s treat stash wasn’t working, I saw this:
What’s better than the combination of sweet and salty?

| Am I the only one who thinks the sugar sprinkles add a pretty sparkle? |
And then I remembered, that I had these:
Put them together and this is what you get:

| Candy Coated Popcorn in a Jar! |
Not necessarily the most original idea out there, but sometimes you need to work with what’s on hand. Just like the Easter bunny wrapper, I haven’t put together my embellishments – so you’ll just have to wait until next week to see what the final package looks like!
(Seriously, don’t think that I’m purposefully holding out on you. I wish I had pictures of the final packaging…but I just don’t work that way…as of this morning I still don’t know exactly how I’m going to embellish any of my Easter treats!)
