Not only are these Easter Egg Basket Cupcakes cute, they taste great too. There's no better way to celebrate Easter with these treats. Both kids and adults will love them.

Ingredients: 1 box of vanilla cupcake mix. 3 large eggs. 1/2 cup of vegetable oil. 1 cup of water. 1 cup of green frosting. 1 cup of shredded coconut. 1/2 cup of mini chocolate eggs. 1/4 cup of pretzel sticks. 1/4 cup of colorful sprinkles.

Instructions: Warm up the oven to 350F 175C and put paper liners in a cupcake pan. Put the eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla cupcake mix in a mixing bowl. Mix everything together well. Make sure that each cupcake liner is two thirds full of mix. After the oven is hot, bake the cupcakes for 15 to 18 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. On a wire rack, let the cupcakes cool all the way down. After the cupcakes have cooled, frost them with the green frosting to make them look like grass. To make it look like a nest, sprinkle shredded coconut on top of the frosting. Put two or three small chocolate eggs in the middle of each cupcake to look like eggs in a nest. Cut the pretzel sticks into small pieces and put two on each side of each cupcake to make "handles" for the Easter egg baskets. Last, decorate it even more by adding colorful sprinkles. Now your Easter Egg Basket Cupcakes are ready to make your guests happy.
