This Easter snack basket is such a cute, creative and convenient way to serve snacks at your Easter celebration. Filled with a great selection of sweet and savory munchies to keep every bunny happy until the main meal.
We have snack trays, snack boards and now we have snack baskets, y’all! How adorable is this Easter snack basket? I’m obsessed. It’s so easy to put together and is sure to wow the crowd on Easter. Everyone will be oohing and aahing over the presentation as well as the deliciousness.
Forget about Peeps and jelly beans, this is really what every bunny wants in their Easter basket. ? With an amazing selection of fruits, veggies, meats, cheeses, crackers, cookies and more, everyone will love snacking from this festive basket of yumminess.
Start by placing large leaves of red chard or romaine in the bottom and up the sides of the basket to keep the snacks from touching the basket. I used an 11″ round and 5″ deep Easter basket for reference.
Next add a large bunch of red grapes and a large bunch of green grapes on opposite sides down in the basket.
Fill in the rest of the basket with as many of your favorite snacks as will fit. Choosing a good variety of flavors, textures and colors makes for a beautiful presentation.
Such a simple way to add even more festiveness to your Eater table. Wishing everyone a Happy Easter!
xoxo,
