"Hi I'm Rachel Fish from Incredible Eatables for Expert Village. Now even though we are going to complete the basket with more dried fruits and nuts and chocolate on the other side of this wine. But just to give you a little bit of a idea of other options that we can do I have some things that I can show you. This are a different types of package chocolate over here and over here actually I have some chocolates that I just packaged myself using a very pretty bag and simple took chocolate, I put it into here. It opens the same way basically as the wine take it, you pull it close and then you have a bag like this. Another option is simple sousaphone bags they come in many different sizes, they come in larger, they come in smaller. Every size under the sun you can basically use but pretty much the same idea you just take chocolate, you dump it in. You put the chocolate into the bag and then you take a coordinating ribbon and tie the ribbon. So now I would just show you a little bit different ways that you can play around with this I choose here some pralines cherry pralines they coordinate very nicely with the wine we can put them into the basket over here standing up. I would secure it which I would show you how to do. Then we have over here also a very nice two different swiss chocolates which we can put in over here. Next to the wine, next to the other chocolates, we can mix and match it does not only have to be one or the other. I'm going to put in two of these bags filled with chocolate which would look very pretty and then a added touch I have some individually wrapped chocolates which I'm going to take and I'm just going to put it in. It does not have to be in any particular order or in any particular space. I'm going to secure it over here a little glue dot, take it and put it on, we put it over here so it will not be moving. Take another one, take a glue dot that is a double sided glue a little sticker. Put it in over here and here you have something which is also very pretty, very elegant but it is a totally different look then the dry fruits and nuts option. So that is something to keep in mind when we are making this basket who your precipitants is and what kind of look that you want to give the basket. "
