Chocolate Covered Fruit

If you still want some more sweets in your basket because of tradition and to splurge for the holiday, I totally get it. Why not make some chocolate covered fruit delights? Cut up pineapple, bananas, strawberries and even blueberries, dip in melted dark chocolate and put in a small baggie. If this basket is for your children, you should put a little note on the outside of each bag, right from the Easter bunny.
