Lets make a list of frugal treats that the Easter Bunny can bring.

-egg shaped cookies, decorated
-fruit loop necklaces
-egg shaped rice crispy treats (Do you think these could be dyed pastel?)
-marshmellow bunnies (directions are in the Tightwad Gazette, I don't think I can explain it without picture.)

Next...

How about those sugar eggs that Carol makes on hgtv, with a mold you could make your own choc. bunny. Or also with a mold you cold make choc bunny suckers.

On a less sweeter note use the molds to make bunny, duckie soaps. Then I have seen them make ducks/bunnies out of wash rags by using folds and tucks in the right places, oh that would make a cute basket. Use old scrapes and make a cute country stuffed bunny.

DUH running out of creativity now:)

*LOL*

More frugal would be chocolate dipped marshmallows. Can dip into chocolate then dip into sprinkles.

Just wanted to say the choc. covered potatoe chips are soooo good !! :chomp:

Do you think the Froot Loop necklaces could be made for a little boy ? Would that be wierd ? He hates rice crispy treats and stuff like that and I HATE to give him all chocolate.

I really like the idea of making soaps and bunny washcloths!! Does anyone have the directions for making the washcloth bunnies ?
