"Hi, Chrissy Lyons on behalf of Expert Village. Here we go, we're putting our basket together. This is our chocolate them and we've got everything all lined up and ready to go. First and foremost, let's get our stuffing in. I always tend to put something plastic on the bottom, not that I've got anything that's really going to leak but just in case any powder or something would spill out of anything. Plastic bags will do just fine. Next, rumpled up, crumpled up paper. You need that really to give it height so that everything will stand up and be seen and it just makes it more appealing. Then I want to put the things that are the tallest in the back, in the middle, and on the sides you put your next highest items in here. And you can arrange things the way you think they look pretty. And there are our little chocolate guys in there. And again, if it's for a child you can stick this little girl in, if not, you don't have to really, its personal choice. We'll just sit her in there. Here's our chocolate bars, let 's put our chocolate truffles in here, and again, if it doesn't go good the first time you can always rearrange things around if it's not going the way you'd like it to, you can play with it a little bit. Maybe stick this down in here, see how it goes. There's some cookies, maybe sit her in the front, there's your maple syrup, and just to dot these around as I said, it looks kind of neat just having them. And there you go, she's all assembled and we'll watch at the end, how to put our plastic wrap on it and really make it look professional but there you go, chocolate theme."
