Easter Pudding Baskets

I wanted to do something a little bit different for an Easter treat this year...and the Robin's Eggs Nests are such an easy build, I figured that I could incorporate those with one of my kiddles' favorite treats. Pudding!

Bailey's Irish Cream & Chocolate Tapioca Pudding

In the spirit of St. Patrick's Day I decided to try a little something different. 

 

Since I was a little girl I have loved tapioca pudding...there's just something about that texture you get from the tapioca pearls. (and they're like chewing on little gummy bears too) Couple that with my introduction to the flavor of Irish Cream when Jelly Belly had their Irish Cream flavor jelly beans. As for chocolate, well let's just say that I'm pretty sure that there is a percentage of chocolate flowing through my veins on a regular basis.

Okay, so I start off by lining a large muffin pan (12 muffin cups) with some saran wrap. This is where I'm going to be building my baskets...
