Melt 12 oz chocolate in microwave on high, stirring every 20 seconds, until melted and smooth (check out our guide on how to melt chocolate if you need a little more help). Spoon into the cereal bowl and use a pastry brush to “paint” chocolate on the bottom and sides, let set (when set, it creates extra support).

On a 3-ft piece of floral wire, alternate threading 6 bunny Peeps and jelly beans up one side. Repeat on the other side of wire making sure to leave about 6 inches of space in the middle.

STEP 6
Carefully push open ends of the wire straight down through the lip of the rice cereal bowl, creating an upside down u shaped handle for the basket. If the rice cereal basket isn’t completely hard at this point, use a large spoon or ruler and lean it up against the wire handle to keep it upright while the basket continues to set.
