Ingredients

  • 1 yellow cake mix prepared according to box instructions
  • 1 bag M&M eggs
  • 1 bag Edible Easter grass
  • 1/2 rolls of ribbon
  • 1 Easter basket handle
  • 11 Kit Kat candy bars

Instructions

  • Prepare cake according to box instructions. Bake in 2 layer cake pans, cool.
  • Plate the bottom layer, and frost the top with a layer of frosting. Add the top layer. Continue frosting top and sides of cake. Begin adding Kit Kats to the sides, two at a time made it easier for me. Once you have made it around the cake, securely tie with a ribbon, leaving the bow in the front. Make sure it's tight, so the basket handle doesn't "spring" too much and push your Kit Kat bars out. Insert the handle into the cake, pushing all of the way down to the plate. Top with Edible Easter Grass and M&M eggs.
  • Wow your guests! ;)

Notes

* Use whatever cake mix flavor you like, or your favorite homemade.[br]** Use regular M&M's if you can't find the eggs[br]*** It took 10 1/2 Kit Kat bars to encircle my cake, I used 9 inch pans. If you use 8 inch pans, it will take less. [br]**** Of course, the handle can be left off and you can decorate however you like, for any occasion.
