Erin Phraner, kudos to you. I think I started drooling just looking at this. It’s like one big delicious rice-krispy treat in the shape of a basket, with more treats inside. Read over that sentence again. It just makes me happy. Simple to make, simple to eat.

All kids network is my hero today. I absolutely love this cute bunny bag idea. This one is very simple for kids to make, and a delight to all eyes.
