How to Make a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup Gift Basket

Give a gift of chocolate and peanut butter to a candy-lover for a special occasion. Reese's peanut butter cups are peanut butter-filled cups covered in chocolate with a distinctive orange wrapper around a brown paper cup-covered candy. These candies make the filling for a gift basket made to look like a peanut butter cup.

Things You'll Need

• Shallow, round basket without handles – 2 inches deep or less
• Hot glue gun
• Dark brown tissue paper
• Reese's peanut butter cup wrappers
• White school glue
• Paint brush
• Orange ribbon
• Large orange gift bow
• Reese's peanut butter candies

Instructions

1. Glue, using low-temperature hot glue, dark brown tissue paper to the inside of the basket to resemble the brown paper cups surrounding the candies.

2. Turn the basket over and attach the candy wrappers to the outside of the basket in a collage with low-temperature hot glue. Let the glue dry.

3. Brush two layers of white school glue over the candy wrappers on the outside of the basket to create a protective coating over the wrappers. Let the glue dry between brushing on a second layer.

4. Tie a ribbon around the outside of the basket, gluing it into place with hot glue.

5. Tie or glue a large, orange gift bow to the orange ribbon on the basket.

6. Fill the basket with Reese's peanut butter cup candies in their wrappers.
